Paul is a husband, dad, business owner and now bitcoiner, based in Victoria, Australia.     We first met at a BitcoinBushBash (are you noticing a theme) in 2022, again at Bitcoin Alive in 2023 and now he joins us on the pod to tell his story.     This one will resonate with business owner/operators who have had to navigate through a difficult few years, since that thing which we cannot mention and the government overreach in response to the thing that we cannot mention. You know the thing. THE THING.     But more importantly, as we come out the other side, the hope we all feel thanks to the positive changes and outcomes we see in our move towards a Bitcoin Standard.    We discuss:    Brendo selling his chairs  Why are Bitcoin conversations more comfortable  Surviving the business turmoil caused by the hardest lockdown in the world  Burning through the rainy-day account  The “recession we had to have”  The inevitability of our high inflation environment  Working on a 200-year plan   The manipulation of the system against everyday people  Operating in both the Bitcoin and Fiat systems  Personal responsibility  Estate planning  Government poor decision-making forcing individuals to find answers elsewhere  The Bitcoin safety net  Interest rate rises and black swan events  Spending less than you earn and living frugally  Giving yourself choices in life  Families attending Bitcoin meetups, and allowing kids to learn by being in the room  Art by Pixel  Being the example for your children and creating learning experiences  The difficulties incorporating Bitcoin payments into your business  Australians not appreciating the hardships being felt in other countries      Pod Shout-outs  https://twitter.com/BitcoinAlive   https://twitter.com/SharkGregNorman   https://twitter.com/bitcoinbushbash   https://twitter.com/theamberapp   https://twitter.com/jack       Npubs   Hats: npub1evkn6h4dgkk6ey8mqy90spv2fmfnnzgj8u3h8dgqyql32gs9tywqhdruxp  Brendo: npub1jsauhxc6hjyk5th86qc5z02c9f0cfc7dwszzlj7e9s8wt54w490q4kglr9    Contact Us  www.2bitidiots.com 

We’re testing ourselves. We’ve been around this sausage-fest so long that we’re not sure if we can still talk to girls.  But we outright refuse to do it for diVersiTY’s sake.

Bitcoin sends you off in directions you never dreamed you would go.  In the next couple of weeks, I’ll be helping Roger at a woman’s wellness Bitcoin chocolate making session.  A bunch of words I never thought I’d use in the same sentence!

We’re telling a story. We didn’t set out to tell a story – in fact we rarely set out with any coherent plan – but we’re telling a story, nonetheless.    This is Owen’s story.     He’s an Aussie with a background in organic farming certification. We first met at a Bitcoin Bush Bash in 2020, visited his farm in 2021 (Episode 22), spoke to him from his El Salvador scoping trip in May 2022 (Episode 43) from next door to Mrs Bukele (Episode 61) and now here we are again. It’s a fascinating progression of a doer rather than a talker, and I’d highly recommend you go back over the previous episodes to get the full picture.    We discuss:  Starting a beef business in El Salvador and partnering with pro-Bitcoin locals  Types of farming and the challenge of the wet and dry seasons  The current quality of beef and the inclusion of chemical additives (fiat incentives)  Only accepting Bitcoin in the business  Blink wallet  Hedging volatility  Residency and visa options  Brain drain starting to reverse  Opportunity everywhere with huge tax incentives  Seeking entrepreneurial influence  Bukele’s majority means that all bills pass  Muh roads in Guatemala.

Are you home? Did you survive?  A huge shout out to @lungdoge, @dylanhashmurray and Jess (the @BitcoinAlive team) for putting together a fantastic first Bitcoin Only conference for Australia.  We’re yet to speak to someone who didn’t enjoy the day, and the opportunity it gave so many solid bitcoiners to be in the same city at the same time.  Many of us milked it and made it a loonnngggg weekend. Too many people to thank, but you know who you are.  For those who didn’t manage this time, here’s a glimpse into what happens in Jack’s closet.  Til next time.     PS – The language is appalling in this one.

(Pushing this one out quickly for those making the trek to Beechworth. Have a great weekend)    Those of you that pay attention (or those that attended the last bush bash at Murrurundi) will recognise Dale from there, but for those that don’t, we wanted to have him on the pod to give us an insight into the incentives at play in shitcoin land, working behind enemy lines for a shitcoin publication.    Dale is a South African who has lived in Australia for 5 years.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Please listen til the end as Pete will blow your tiny mind. We spoke with Pete just a few short weeks ago (EP70) about what high-net-worth clients think of Bitcoin. You liked him. Actually, you liked him a lot. A lot of you tuned in... thank you.  We got nowhere near the end of that conversation, as we also wanted to talk to him about inheritance planning. So, he kindly agreed to go again. Settle in and pour yourself a coffee, this is a long one!  If you’re a connoisseur of bullish price valuation models, this one is also for you. He gets more bullish as we go, and we can’t fault any of his logic.    We discuss:  What is a family office. Generational wealth, legal structures, preservation of capital.  Systemic risk in “risk free” bonds.  Credit Suisse, bank runs and what’s happening in trad fi markets right now.  Interest rates and mortgage pain.  Why everyone focuses on the US.  Are US regulators starting to take a more pro Bitcoin stance.  Legal entities for holding your assets.  The importance of a will or testamentary trust.  Multi-sig security with clients  Time locking Bitcoin  Element zero at absolute zero  The first triple point quantum asset.  Solving bond duration risk with Bitcoin  Bitcoin valuations for those who love “crazy numbers”    Pod Shout-outs  www.twitter.com/MichaelDunwort1  www.twitter.com/saylor   www.twitter.com/stephanlivera  www.twitter.com/knutsvanholm   Couldn’t find the timelock article, but start here for great content  www.knutsvanholm.com   www.twitter.com/juniorwaugh349  www.twitter.com/FossGregfoss  www.twitter.com/luke_broyles   www.twitter.com/BitcoinAlive  www.twitter.com/bitcoinbushbash    Npubs – cya Twitter  Hats: npub1evkn6h4dgkk6ey8mqy90spv2fmfnnzgj8u3h8dgqyql32gs9tywqhdruxp  Brendo: npub1jsauhxc6hjyk5th86qc5z02c9f0cfc7dwszzlj7e9s8wt54w490q4kglr9    Contact Us  www.2bitidiots.com 

There’s nothing a bitcoiner enjoys more than bursting a mainstream narrative. If we really are “bOiLinG tHE oCEans”, why is it that Simon and his colleagues at www.Stackr.co.nz  are Bitcoin mining with renewable energy and providing stability to the electricity grid in New Zealand’s South Island.  It really is a head scratcher, isn’t it.

Bitcoiners branching out into other industries is great, but what I really want to see is people in other industries adopting Bitcoin. I’m particularly keen for musicians, athletes and sports teams to figure this out (shout out to Perth Heat for leading by example).  That's why I was very excited to discover Joe Martin. Joe is a singer-songwriter who is a musician first but also a bitcoiner. He gets it, and the best bit...he’s good! We want Joe to be able to take a message to his friends in the music industry, so we’re passing on all donations (streams, boosts etc) from value-for-value enabled podcasting apps. Have a listen to Joe's story and his current single / title track from his new album. If you like what you hear, please send a few sats his way.

When: 15th April 2023 Where: The Roundhouse, Sydney Tickets: www.bitcoinalive.io Discount: 10% off with codes HATS or BRENDO at checkout With less than 6 weeks to go, we catch up with the boys from Bitcoin Alive (Chris and Dylan) to find out how the planning for Australia’s first big-scale, Bitcoin Only conference is going. When we last spoke in mid-December (EP67) they had just announced the event and location, but tickets hadn’t been released and speakers hadn’t been confirmed. Less than 3 months on (which I’m sure has felt like 3 days to them), we thought it was time for an update for those of you that know you’re attending and others that might still be on the fence.

I finally stepped out of Brendo’s shadow and did one of these interview thingies by myself. Turns out the tech side is way easier than he makes it sound! The problem though, is that Gary (Gaz) and I can talk the corn! I think it was 3 hours 53 minutes to be precise, but don’t worry we only recorded an hour or so. Gaz is as bullish on Bitcoin as the rest of us, but his knowledge and life experience also gives him a perspective on risk that many of those that have recently been rekt by leverage could learn from.  You don’t need to risk the farm; you just need to get off zero.

It’s easy to talk a big game.  Backing it up is harder.  However, what we’ve found over the last 7 years, is that the closer you align yourself with Bitcoin, the better things turn out. Look at all aspects of your life; health; work; relationships; family; education et al and apply the Bitcoin filter.  Allow it to affect your decision making and voila...things magically improve.

We tried to give away 111,000 sats but Terla hasn’t got in touch!  Terla...are you out there?  Call me.  DM me. Swipe right. Anyway...Happy New Year bitcoiner.  It’s good to be back. Just Brendo and I today talking shit and helping you pass the time until hyperbitcoinisation, or at least until next week when we have a really good guest.  Seriously...next week is important. For now, we talk: Not being able to give away sats! Price.  Is it a temporary pump?

The Bitcoin conversation in this one is minimal at best, but there are free sats to be won, so you might have to listen to find out if you’re the winner! Thanks to everyone that’s contributed to the podcast this year.  Guests, listeners, boosters, sat streamers, trolls, people that gave us gifts, everyone at the bush bash and all the Twitter psychopaths.  We appreciate you all. Bitcoin will fix the world.  It’s the only money.  But...IT’S ONLY MONEY.  Take some time off at Christmas with your people and enjoy life.  Otherwise, what are we doing this for? Merry Christmas and see you in 2023, Hats and Brendo Tweet of the Week www.twitter.com/DrBitcoinMD/status/1604044848562339845 Original by @0xMajinBobo but of course CZ deleted his reply.

The list of large-scale Bitcoin only events is growing all over the world, but we didn’t have one in Australia.  Until now.  Quick Links Twitter @BitcoinAlive @dylanhashmurray @lungdoge Website www.bitcoinalive.io Frustrated by the time and expense required to attend the conferences overseas, Chris, Dylan and Jess have decided to put that right. On Saturday, 15th of April 2023, Bitcoin Alive will make its debut.  A single day conference at the Roundhouse, Sydney ( www.arc.unsw.edu.au/roundhouse ), Bitcoin Alive will “bring together Australia’s Bitcoin community for a day of the highest quality Bitcoin content from the best minds in Bitcoin from both Australia and overseas”. We sat down with Chris and Dylan to find out more about their motivations and plans for the day.  We discussed: Why we need a Bitcoin conference in Australia Who the event is pitched at Event management experience The value of meeting bitcoiners face-to-face Providing a platform for the bitcoiner talent in Australia Date, Location, Venue Capacity, 20+ Speakers 900-seat main stage, keynote presentations, VIP area, breakout rooms, panels, fireside chats and beer garden Fitting in to the circuit of global Bitcoin events and adding an Aussie spin with satellite events Risks involved and work required Timescales for announcement of Speakers and Costs (sign up for Presale Tickets) Swell reports from Coogee Beach Support from and giving back to the Bitcoin community Sponsorship and maintaining your integrity while staying Bitcoin Only Positive/negative feedback and being judged on their Proof of Work Not looking at the Bitcoin price for a year (and guessing where we are now) Pod Shout-outs www.twitter.com/the_Bowdog www.twitter.com/saylor www.twitter.com/jackmallers www.twitter.com/TheGuySwann www.twitter.com/JeffBooth www.twitter.com/BTCSchellingPt www.twitter.com/stephanlivera www.twitter.com/pacificbitcoin www.twitter.com/AdoptingBTC www.twitter.com/knutsvanholm www.twitter.com/gregzaj1 www.twitter.com/FossGregfoss Contact us: www.2bitidiots.com

We live in the sticks.  We’re happy living in the sticks.  You couldn’t pay us enough (even sats!) to live in the city.  The problem with living in the sticks, however, is that you may be the only bitcoiner. That was true until Brendo came along.  2 of us fighting the good fight. But...it turns out we weren’t even the first in our part of the sticks.  Enter plebHODLBadger! We’ve found another Maxi and he has a friend too!  4 of us.  IN THE STICKS!  More Bitcoin Maxis than Post Offices.  We’re winning, and each one of you is the reason why.  Here’s his story: Running core in 2011, but turning it off to not waste his sister’s electricity Always stacking Getting burned in shitcoins and learning not to spend time thinking about them When does a scam become a scam The progress of the Lightning network and what’s still required Maintaining your passion for your fiat life and what comes next Hallucinogens and the mixing of the senses Rights, freedoms and your political opinions through a Bitcoin filter Getting paid in Bitcoin Validation Misconceptions around Bitcoin meetups What does the “fight you” stage look like Real estate. Investment or the family home SBF and FTX Working out what’s important to you The Bush Bash Tour NB: I was quiet for the first ten minutes.  Apparently, I still don’t know what I’m doing.
