The American Dream is dying. Can we save it? 🇺🇸 Our guest, @nat brunell knows exactly what it means to fight for a better life. Her family escaped communism in Poland with nothing but the hope for opportunity. But today, she warns that the very system that promised prosperity is now rigged against the average person. We sat down with Natalie to discuss her new book, Bitcoin is for Everyone, and why fixing the money is the only way to restore the American Dream. In this episode, we cover: - The "Fiat Matrix": Why inflation isn't an accident—it's a policy choice that hollows out the middle class. - The Welfare Trap: Why "suicidal empathy" and endless printing are destroying dignity rather than saving it. - The Energy Reality: Why we should stop apologizing for Bitcoin’s energy use and start celebrating it as the currency of the universe. - Faith & Finance: How Bitcoin brought her back to her faith and gave her hope for a future based on truth, not debt. It’s not just about charts and candles. It’s about human flourishing.

Vegas baby. Vegas! Another merchant Bitcoin adoption story coming out of Las Vegas, made easy thanks to Square. That's @npub1r960...7n50 from the @Sovreign team, on the scene with FOX5Vegas at Cane Juice Bar & Cafe. Find them on IG (@ canejuicebarlv). @jack 🫡

The French central bank governor was under the impression that Bitcoin is "privately issued". This is how clueless the existing system is towards information every bitcoiner takes for granted.

Orange Pilling 101: Approaching a person with the intent to be helpful is very different than starting a conversation with the intent to change their mind. Manipulation and influence are not the same thing.

Orange Pilling 101: Create a reason for the person to become curious about Bitcoin. If they are not asking questions they are not curious enough.

I did an interview on The Schwab Network talking about #bitcoin and merchant adoption. While the headline mentions stablecoins, I never said anything about them. Bitcoin only. Grateful to Schwab for having me on regardless. I hope you enjoy the clip. Link isn’t working in Firefox for some reason.

This week we went a different direction and I interviewed Wall St vet Anthony Scaramucci. While I don’t agree with him on some of his crypto thoughts (we get into this a bit at the end), his understanding of what #bitcoin is and his conviction in Bitcoin cannot be argued. I enjoyed the conversation and enjoyed stepping out of our #Nostr bubble too. Sometimes it’s nice to hear a different perspective on things. I hope you will give it a listen.

I sat down with @Sat’s Oil and did a live taste test of his olive oil with him on the recording. I was blown away by how good it was, and loved talking with him about the olive oil making process and his family’s orchard. It is so cool to get to talk to all these legends pioneering the #bitcoin circular economy. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed the final product.
