What if democracy can’t survive sound money, because it runs on promises it can’t fund? Knut Svanholm sits down with Mike Peterson in El Salvador, fresh from a formal night at the presidential palace with President Nayib Bukele. Phones taken, press everywhere, and a president who feels unnervingly normal to Bitcoiners. Knut’s take is blunt, El Salvador may have accidentally voted “one of us” into office, and the results feel like the inverse of clown world. Then the conversation turns to the ...
What if the real trap is not working hard, it is spending your best years building someone else’s empire with money you do not even trust? Mike Peterson sits down with Efrat Fenigson (@efenigson) during Bitcoin Historico for a blunt conversation about the fiat system, corporate life, and why “growth for growth’s sake” eventually stops making sense. Efrat explains how years of being great at driving revenue for other people pushed her toward a bigger question: who is this all really for? Befor...
What if Bitcoin does not fail because of governments, banks, or the IMF, but because Bitcoiners themselves refuse to actually use it? In this episode, Mike sits down with Isabella Santos in El Salvador to confront one of the most uncomfortable questions in Bitcoin today. Is most “Bitcoin adoption” actually fake if merchants never see anyone spend sats? Isabella shares the unfiltered story of how BTC Isla in Isla Mujeres went from a Twitter idea to a true Bitcoin circular economy with a Bitco...

In this episode, I sit down with Jeff Booth inside the National Palace El Salvador to dig into a question a lot of people are asking in private. Is El Salvador still Bitcoin country, or did Bukele get captured by the IMF. Jeff shares how he ended up invited by the President, why he first thought he was being used as a marketing prop, and what actually happened during a long conversation on Bitcoin, freedom money, and what it means for a small country trying to escape a global control system. ...
What if a US dollar collapse is not doom talk from the fringe, but simply the logical end of the fiat currency game we are already playing. In this episode, Mike Peterson sits down with investor and author Larry Lepard inside El Salvador’s National Palace to unpack the thesis behind The Big Print book and why Larry believes the next massive round of money printing is not a question of if, only when. From the setting to the stakes, this is a conversation about what happens to real people when ...
Dr. Jack Kruse explains why he believes El Salvador is the most asymmetric opportunity of our lifetime and why so many serious Bitcoiners are leaving the United States for El Salvador. Drawing on stories like buying a New York City corner in 1890 or the Louisiana Purchase for $12 million, he shows how rare it is to find a moment where land, leadership, and money all line up in your favor. Jack argues that El Salvador under President Bukele feels more like the “fourteenth colony” of real Ameri...
Coming from the “empire of bureaucracy”, Lina Seiche has seen what happens when regulation stifles innovation. In El Salvador, she’s found the opposite, a government removing red tape, empowering entrepreneurs, and even teaching children about financial education from an early age. She explains why this freedom to build, innovate, and educate is shaping a generation that understands money differently not through taxes and rules, but through choice and knowledge. It’s a glimpse into a ...
What good is financial sovereignty if your body is still in custodial care? Mike Peterson sits down with Christopher Wedick to map out the Reclaiming Health and Longevity Symposium in San Salvador, a two-day meet-up where decentralized health meets decentralized wealth. They talk health sovereignty, community healing, and why El Salvador’s mix of safety, affordability, and sunlight makes it a real base for people who want financial self-custody and practical lifestyle medicine. This is the we...

Since they didn’t have credit cards, Bitcoin let them make legit online purchases, surprising a shop owner who th...
