🎙️Argentina: We Don’t Trust, We Verify Ep. 117 with El Gorila Classic Agustin Kassis is a Bitcoin developer, entrepreneur, and founder of La Crypta in Buenos Aires, Argentina. As a self-taught programmer since age 11 and serial entrepreneur with seven startups, Agustin discovered Bitcoin in its first years. This conversation explores Argentina's unique position as a potential Bitcoin adoption leader, shaped by decades of currency destruction, hyperinflation, and distrust of government institutions. We dive deep into the grassroots Bitcoin movement in Argentina, the role of La Crypta as an education and community hub, and how Argentinians' natural rebellion against monetary systems creates fertile ground for Bitcoin adoption. Agustin discusses the challenges of onboarding merchants and individuals, the competition with the crypto industry (including stablecoins), and the importance of maintaining Bitcoin's decentralized nature against capture. We also explore President Milei's impact on Argentina, the cultural shift happening in the country, and why he believes ideology and values matter more than technical knowledge & NGU when identifying true Bitcoiners. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

🎙️Beyond Ego: The Truth About Money, Meaning & Bitcoin Ep. 100 with Richard Byworth ∞/21M My guest today is Richard Byworth, Managing Partner at Syz Capital, bridging traditional finance with Bitcoin. With over 25 years in global investment banking and asset management, Richard now spearheads Syz’s $300m digital asset strategies and hosts the *Syz the Future* podcast. He’s also a Board Member at Relai, and an advisor to JAN3. In this conversation, he unpacks the moment the 2008 crisis revealed the flaws in fiat money, his early dismissal of Bitcoin, and how conviction finally took hold in 2018. We discuss the launch of Syz’s Bitcoin-denominated fund, the internal resistance it faced, and how it became the firm’s most successful product launch. Richard explains why “one Bitcoin equals one Bitcoin” and why he believes Bitcoin treasury companies act as the release valve for a mispriced financial system. We explore his views on ego in finance, intuition in decision-making, spiritual dimensions of Bitcoin, and his conviction that Bitcoin represents not just an investment—but hope, and a benevolent force for human progress. ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

🎙️Bitcoin House Bali: No Shoes, No Shitcoins Ep. 102 with Diana ₿ My guest today is Diana, she is the co-founder of Bitcoin House Bali and organizer of the Bitcoin Indonesia Conference. She left a corporate life in Germany in 2022, sold her belongings for Bitcoin, moved to Bali, and began rebuilding local Bitcoin adoption through practical education and community infrastructure. In this episode, we look at the realities in Indonesia: bank accounts closed after short inactivity, constant transaction monitoring, restrictions on moving money across islands, and limited financial agency for women. Bitcoin offers sovereignty in that environment. We discuss the role of women in integrating Bitcoin socially, the expansion to 38 meetups across Indonesia, and the aim of decentralizing leadership. We also cover lessons from running a national conference under bureaucratic pressure, and what it means to work in a place where censorship and instability are already visible. ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

New episode with the incredible former PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi - the first woman of color and immigrant to run a Fortune 50 company. In this conversation, Indra discusses the stories behind her rise to the top of one of the world's largest companies. From early days at the Boston Consulting Group using satellite photos to analyze competitor facilities, to personally tracking 400 potential executives as CEO, Indra reveals the granular thinking that separates great leaders from good ones. Her "zoom in, zoom out" philosophy transformed how she understood business — from the "right side of the decimal" where even a fraction of a penny matters across millions of transactions, to setting company strategy at 30,000 feet. She explains why most leaders fail because they don't understand their business at the most granular level. But perhaps most powerful is her candid discussion about the reality of being a working mother in the C-suite where she argues there is no such thing as work-life balance. Watch now for a masterclass in leadership, strategy, and the sacrifices required to reach the top.

John Burnett is an entrepreneur with experience across hospitality, real estate development, and technology. A freedom lover and lifelong student of the control system, John’s "mosaic of truth" is piecing together how the financial system, the legal system, false history, and emerging technocracy all connect as layers of a single structure designed to extract human energy and suppress human potential. John also shares why Bitcoin held in genuine self-custody is humanity's most important tool for choking off the energy supply to the control machine, how his free digital privacy course is helping folks navigate the digital jungle, and why, despite it all, he believes we are the greatest most powerful creatures. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

🎙️Educating Brazil, Despite Surveillance & Fiat Mindset Ep. 108 with Carol Souza My guest today is Carol Souza, co-founder of Area Bitcoin, one of the largest Bitcoin education platforms in Latin America, reaching hundreds of thousands across Brazil and the Portuguese-speaking world. Her path began not in tech or finance, but as a dentist, where Brazil’s inflation, POS payment fees, and daily operational fragilities pushed her to study money and ultimately adopt Bitcoin as a survival tool for her clinic. We discuss Brazil’s long history of hyperinflation, savings confiscation, and the deep fiat mindset that still shapes economic life. Carol explains how PIX, open banking, and the proposed Drex CBDC form a sophisticated financial-surveillance architecture, and why she sees Bitcoin as a sovereignty instrument rather than a speculative asset. ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

🎙️Architecting the Monetary Endgame Ep. 97 with allen farrington My guest today is Allen Farrington, writer, investor, and co-founder of Axiom, a Bitcoin-focused venture capital firm backing companies that use Bitcoin as real infrastructure rather than speculation. Allen co-authored “Bitcoin is Venice” and “Only the Strong Survive” and draws on a background in math, philosophy, Austrian economics, and long-term equity investing to explain why Bitcoin is both a technological breakthrough and a venture opportunity hiding in plain sight. In this episode, he shares why he believes the most valuable startups will use Bitcoin as invisible plumbing for payments, energy, and financial services rather than marketing themselves as “Bitcoin companies.” We explore why current stablecoin systems break under real demand, how Lightning and Taproot Assets enable issuer competition and scalable payments, and why the long arc ends with e-cash and Bitcoin-native money. Allen frames Axiom’s edge as “temporal arbitrage”: investing early where technical understanding and adoption are low, anticipating that in a decade the market will recognize the value created by Bitcoin-based infrastructure. ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.
