One of our own needs a hand. Many of you may have crossed paths with Vinny at a local Bush Bash or around the community. He’s had a really rough run with his health recently and is now facing urgent jaw surgery. Any support, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this around, would mean the world and help show him he’s not doing this alone. 🙏🧡

The Aussie property ponzi scheme is alive and well, some excellent info in this one. Thanks Anja and Dale.
Thank you, Sir, for listening. 🫡🙏
Philipp, CEO of Lendasat, shares why he’s excited about Arcade, a new Bitcoin Layer 2 built on the Arc protocol.
For small Bitcoin-backed loans, waiting for confirmations just doesn’t make sense. Arcade enables instant transactions, making quick, low-value loans actually practical.
It’s early, experimental, and very new, but Lendasat is already building on it. 👀
Fast Bitcoin loans might be closer than you think.

Merry Christmas #Austriches 🎄
As the year comes to a close, I just want to pause and say thank you. To everyone who’s listened to Honest Money, shared an episode, reached out, or quietly tuned in each week, this year truly wouldn’t have been what it was without you.
Honest Money exists because of a thoughtful, curious, and grounded community, and I’m so grateful to be on this journey with you.
In 2026, I’m looking forward to expanding the show with new formats, including a News Block focused on local Bitcoin adoption here in Australia (and Oceania), the innovation happening down under, regulatory updates as they unfold, and the local builders and community doing the work on the ground.
Thank you for being here, for your support, and for your trust. Enjoy the break, take care of yourselves and your people, and I’ll see you in the new year.
🧡 Anja & Axel
Loved your appearance on Australian Bitcoin Podcast, episode 102! Sent it my parents, so they can laugh at your swearing. 😂🧡
We booked the venue, so all you have to do is save the date for 2026. 🧡
When Bitcoiners build lending platforms, they don’t copy TradFi, they rethink it.
They design for censorship resistance, self-custody, and edge-case resilience.
That’s why platforms like Lendasat include tools such as the Doomsday Tool, built specifically for extreme, worst-case scenarios.
As Philipp explains, Lendasat’s Doomsday Software is designed for the moment the platform itself disappears, whether due to regulatory shutdown, a black swan event, or the team simply being gone.
If that happens, borrowers still have a path to recover their funds.
Using their seed phrase, contract backup data, and a uniquely generated NSEC, users can verify their setup end-to-end and communicate securely outside the platform with the lender.
No trust assumptions.
No platform dependency.
Just a clear recovery path when everything else breaks.
Because Bitcoin isn’t about convenience at all costs.
It’s about control when it matters most.

Every action is an act of creation.
I come back to this idea whenever I think about separating money from the state.

Yay! I hate the best way to reach you to schedule a time? 😊
Would love to have you on my podcast. You’re a great storyteller, and love your intellectual humility, it’s exactly what the world needs. 🥹
p.s. I had Joe Bryan on. The show is appropriately called Honest Money Show.
When it’s 2025 and you’ve had enough of Bitcoin obituaries. 😂

I can’t even look at these slides anymore. I spent 5 hours trying to make them look cute. Will revisit at some point in the future for version 2.0 😮💨
Fiat vs. Bitcoin — A Simple Truth
Most of us grow up using one kind of money—and never stop to ask why.
But what if we did?
This series looks beyond the surface to explore the quiet, powerful differences between fiat and Bitcoin. Not just how they’re made — but how they shape everything around us.
The Honest Money Show explores this in depth:
• How money is created
• Who controls it
• Who it empowers — and who it leaves behind
• How it influences our time, our choices, and our future
This isn’t about hype.
It is about understanding the system we are part of — and asking if it still serves us.
Let’s start asking better questions, together.
