    Bitcoin, Sovereignty & the Power of Community | Nell Hunter | Beyond the Title Ep. 7

    What does sovereignty really mean in the age of Bitcoin? In Episode 7 of Beyond the Title with Jolene, I sit down with Nell Hunter to explore sovereignty, Bitcoin, individual agency, and the role of community in building a more sovereign future. We discuss what sovereignty means beyond simply being independent, the relationship between financial sovereignty and individual freedom, and how Bitcoin changes the way we think about money, autonomy, and power. We also explore Sovereignty Summit — why it exists, what kind of conversations it is trying to create, and why bringing people together matters in an increasingly digital world. From Bitcoin and financial sovereignty to community, technology, and the future, this conversation asks a bigger question: What does it actually mean to be sovereign? 🎙️ Guest: Nell Hunter🎧 Beyond the Title with Jolene — Ep. 7 Where titles end, conversations begin.

    Bitcoin, Writing & the Stories We Tell | Philip Charter | Beyond the Title Ep. 6

    What role does writing and storytelling play in the Bitcoin ecosystem? In Episode 6 of Beyond the Title with Jolene, I sit down with Philip Charter, writer, author, and Bitcoin-focused storyteller, for a conversation about the intersection of Bitcoin, writing, publishing, storytelling, and culture. Rather than revisiting the familiar Bitcoin origin story, we explore the ideas and narratives surrounding Bitcoin and how the way we communicate an idea can shape how people understand it. In this episode, we discuss: • Bitcoin and the power of storytelling • Writing and communication in the Bitcoin ecosystem • Books, publishing and Bitcoin culture • Why Bitcoin narratives can become repetitive • The role of writers in emerging movements • Fiction and creative storytelling around Bitcoin • Communicating complex ideas without losing their meaning • Intellectual honesty when writing about Bitcoin • How Bitcoin communication may evolve for a new generation • The stories about Bitcoin that are still waiting to be told Philip brings a perspective that goes beyond the standard Bitcoin conversation, looking at Bitcoin not only as technology or money, but also as an idea, a culture, and a collection of stories being written in real time. Beyond the Title with Jolene explores the people, ideas, and stories behind the titles. 🎙️ Host: Jolene Narula 🎧 Episode 6: Philip Charter Follow Beyond the Title with Jolene: LinkedIn X / Twitter Instagram YouTube #Bitcoin #BitcoinWriting #BitcoinCulture #BitcoinStorytelling #BitcoinBooks #BitcoinPublishing #BitcoinPodcast #BitcoinEducation #BTC #BeyondTheTitle #PhilipCharter

    Bitcoin Through a Gen Z Lens | Money, Technology & the Next Generation | Jolene Narula | Beyond the Title Ep. 5

    What does Bitcoin look like when you see it through a Gen Z lens? In this first solo episode of Beyond the Title with Jolene, I’m stepping behind the microphone alone to explore Bitcoin from the perspective of a generation that grew up online. Bitcoin is often discussed through the lens of price, markets, institutions, and adoption. But what happens when we look at it through a different lens — one shaped by technology, digital communities, financial uncertainty, research, and a generation questioning the systems it inherited? In this episode, I explore: ₿ Why Bitcoin means more than a price chart🧑‍💻 How growing up online shapes the way Gen Z views money and technology📊 Why Bitcoin needs more research, data, and intellectual curiosity👩 Why we need more women participating in Bitcoin🌍 What Gen Z can bring to the Bitcoin ecosystem🧠 Why questioning Bitcoin can actually make the conversation stronger🔎 And whether we should be asking what Bitcoin can do for Gen Z — or what Gen Z can do with Bitcoin I’m not here to tell you what to believe. I’m here to ask better questions. Because maybe the future of Bitcoin isn't just about adoption. Maybe it's about who gets to research it, challenge it, build it, and shape what comes next. Welcome to the first solo conversation on Beyond the Title with Jolene.

    Bitcoin Beyond Money: Self-Sovereignty and the Decentralized Internet with Samuel Manzanera | Beyond the Title Ep. 4

    In this episode of Beyond the Title with Jolene, Jolene sits down with Samuel Manzanera to explore a side of Bitcoin that goes far beyond price, markets, and money. Samuel shares his journey into Bitcoin through engineering, his experience navigating the altcoin ecosystem, and what ultimately led him toward a Bitcoin-first perspective. The conversation then moves into one of the most important ideas shaping the future of technology: self-sovereignty. What does it really mean to own your identity, data, audience, payments, and digital presence? And what happens when individuals and businesses no longer have to depend entirely on centralized platforms to operate online? Together, Jolene and Samuel explore how Bitcoin, Lightning, and Nostr can work together as building blocks for a more open and self-sovereign internet. They discuss what businesses may be overlooking, what centralized platforms cost us in terms of ownership and control, and where decentralized systems could make the biggest impact over the next 5–10 years. And, of course, they go beyond the price. If Bitcoin is more than money, what could it become? 🎙️ Beyond the Title with Jolene Where titles end, conversations begin.

    The 3 Cs of Bitcoin Adoption | Culture, Creativity & Connection | Kyle Shirkness What if Bitcoin adoption is about more than technology, regulation, and price? In this episode of Beyond the Title with Jolene, I sit down with Kyle Shirkness, founder of The Bitcoin Pivot, to explore his framework for Bitcoin adoption: Culture, Creativity, and Connection. We talk about why culture can shape how organizations and communities approach Bitcoin, how creativity can turn ideas into better systems, and why building bridges between people may be one of the most important parts of adoption. We also explore: 🔸 Why Bitcoin has a place beyond finance 🔸 What does “What is money?” really mean? 🔸 How organizations can approach Bitcoin authentically 🔸 The intersection of Bitcoin and AI 🔸 Building Bitcoin communities from the ground up 🔸 Why Bitcoiners need to educate rather than force adoption 🔸 What Bitcoin could look like for the next generation 🔸 Kyle’s personal journey into Bitcoin and why privacy changed his perspective 🔸 How newcomers can find their own personal connection to Bitcoin Kyle leaves us with a simple message: be open-minded, do your own research, and find where Bitcoin connects with your own life and passions. 🎙️ Beyond the Title with Jolene Where titles end, conversations begin.
