Gm Friends 👋
Trey here. As we kick off a new week, I wanted to let you all know the best ways you can support my work and The Progressive Bitcoiner. I am laser focused on creating content and education focused on Bitcoin’s amazing potential as a tool for human rights, the environment, individual and community financial freedom, and of course appealing to liberals and progressives who have heard some of the most extreme FUD and misinformation regarding #Bitcoin . I feel it is a unique and much needed take and content in the space, especially as we anticipate more and more people becoming curious about Bitcoin this cycle.
To do all of these things requires tremendous time, energy, and yes funding. The good news is there are multiple ways you can financially support these efforts, and every sat given brings me once step closer to being able to devote my full time and energy to this enormous undertaking.
1) Our @Geyser. It is the best way to directly support the podcast. Like gofundme, but with bitcoin! Contribute today, and check out our shoutout rewards to get a shoutout during the podcast. geyser.fund/project/thepro…
2) Our substack. Our newsletter and rss feed is through substack. You can become a paid subscriber to our newsletter, which is great because it’s done so on a monthly or yearly reoccurring basis, making it easier for me to budget expenses. While substack isn’t accepting bitcoin yet, I convert all USD contribution to Bitcoin on a monthly basis.
3) Take advantage of our sponsor promo links! Not only will you get a discount on awesome products and companies I support and use daily myself, but it creates a more stable and long-term relationship with our sponsors if folks continue to utilize these links ⬇️

4) Become a sponsor! If your company is looking for sponsorship opportunities, we are looking to secure one more ad space on the pod. You can DM me here, or send a message via our website’s contact form: progressivebitcoiner.com/reach-out/
I need your support to sustain and especially grow The Progressive Bitcoiner. Should we get to sustainable monthly revenue we’ll be able to produce more episodes of the pod, write more for the newsletter and various publication, support in-person events, create more live and video content, and more. But only with your help.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me, both financially and just by listening, engaging, and providing words of encouragement. It means the world.
If you could share this note, it would mean the world. Great things to come to get the message out that #Bitcoin is for everyone and has such great potential as a tool for human rights and human flourishing 🧡

TPB77 - Empowering African Women through Bitcoin with Marcel Lorraine
"If you're born in a cage, if you're born in prison, then freedom will look funny to you.
"If you're born in a cage, if you're born in prison, then freedom will look funny to you. But with a tool such as Bitcoin, this actually opens your eyes to your rights as a human, your rights as a citizen.” - Marcel
My guest today is Marcel Lorraine. Marcel is the Founder & CEO of Bitcoin Dada, a women centric entity that is working towards educating African women into Bitcoin. In this episode we discuss the systemic barriers women face in Africa, how Bitcoin can help transform opportunities and beliefs, the strength of Bitcoin Dada’s grassroots community approach, the role African women play as the foundation of communities, practical use cases and adoption challenges, and more.

TPB Weekly Digest #011
WEF amplifies positive impacts of Bitcoin mining at Virunga National Park, and Trey's article on Bitcoin culture wars

“Proof of stake is far less secure because it’s tied to something internal to itself rather than external. #Bitcoin is tied to the energy that was put into it, which is proxied into the mathematical representation. Energy is a fundamental property of the universe.” - Ben de Waal

“Bitcoin is money, but specifically Bitcoin is a form of money that isn't controlled by any kind of centralized entity." - Ben
My guest today is Ben de Waal. Ben is an engineer, technologist, and Bitcoin consultant, having previously led various engineering projects including as Vice President of Engineering at Swan. Ben also advocates for decentralized solutions and is always interested in discussing philosophy and human affairs through his lens as a libertarian socialist/anarchist.
As we anticipate further price action and interest in Bitcoin, Ben was the perfect guest to have on to discuss Bitcoin fundamentals for those that wonder, what is Bitcoin anyway? In this episode we cover how Bitcoin works as decentralized digital money without centralized control. Topics covered include Bitcoin mining, transactions, fees, private keys, seed phrases, the Lightning Network, differences between proof of work vs proof of stake, why Bitcoin has value, and more.
