TPB60 - How Bitcoin Benefits Workers with nostr:npub1c688ut3qsz6g6aj92u884wph24mt6xe3yrunxvwd5m9a8zyex4dqdscy0g & nostr:npub1r526lguznz3txn0uf7x0an2vymtp8zu5cprmkf84reht3p7j27asmh9pgs is out now.
"If you really care about fixing problems, you really have to take a look at these solutions like Bitcoin."
My guests today are Lisa Hough and Dom Bei. Lisa is a former natural gas trader and currently serves as the VP of Strategic Relationships at Custodia Bank. Dom is a proud fire fighter, former President of the Santa Monica Fire Fighters, and Founder of Proof of Workforce, a non-profit helping workers, unions, and businesses with education-based Bitcoin adoption. Lisa also serves on the board of directors at Proof of Workforce.
In this episode we explore Bitcoin's potential as a tool for better savings for workers, as well as examining renewable mining incentives, pension solvency, income inequality, government surveillance, financial privacy, and uniting political divides. We also get into Bitcoin's decentralized nature protecting human rights and economic justice globally, contrasted with proposed anti-privacy regulations. Lisa and Dom made this a fun, personal, and relatable discussion and I'm incredibly grateful for their work in the bitcoin space, and how they are both reaching mainstream audiences about the benefits of Bitcoin.
Watch on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts by searching "The Progressive Bitcoiner" (link in bio)
In addition to the pod episode drop tomorrow, we’re also announcing a giveaway 👀
Stay tuned…

🚀 Breaking News: Geyser migrates to Nostr! 🌌
Every Geyser project now gets a unique Nostr identity (NPUB) - a big leap for the Open Creator Economy!
🧵
🆕 Your Geyser project lives on Nostr, regardless of whether you're logging in via Nostr or Twitter. This means broader visibility and more engagement for your content on Nostr platforms!
This has several implications:
📣 Cross-Platform Freedom: Tired of content silos? Us too. Now creators can share content freely across platforms, reaching wider audiences.
Stay tuned for more exciting content features!
🤝 Stronger Connections:
Leveraging Nostr's open social graph, Geyser will enhance:
- Cross-platform follows
- Home page curation based on your Nostr network
- Seamless activity sync between Geyser and Nostr
🛡️ Trust & Transparency:
Nostr's open graph helps mitigate scams and impersonation.
Plus, a creator's reputation on Geyser now carries over across Nostr – fostering a more trustworthy environment for the donation economy.
🔓 Data Ownership:
With the ability to export your NSEC using a Private Key Kit, creators maintain control and mobility across Nostr clients, reinforcing our commitment to creator autonomy and censorship resistance. More on this soon.
🌅 Just the Beginning:
Aligning with Nostr opens doors to exciting features: Nostr Posts, replies, polls, hidden posts... Imagine Patreon, but with content flowing seamlessly across the Nostrverse.
🔄 Building Geyser around Openness:
- Embracing open-source philosophy
- Building on robust technical architecture
- Enhancing product potential for creators
We're thrilled about what this means for the broader creator community!

If you’re a worker and “you’re trading your time for money, make sure your money will hold up over time.”
This and so much more in tomorrow’s TPB release with Dom Bei and nostr:npub1r526lguznz3txn0uf7x0an2vymtp8zu5cprmkf84reht3p7j27asmh9pgs discussing their nonprofit Proof of Workforce

Can anyone connect nostr:npub1r526lguznz3txn0uf7x0an2vymtp8zu5cprmkf84reht3p7j27asmh9pgs with Senator Warren, she would like a word...
"They already have the public attention, if we could just get them to...see the light."
This excellent conversation with nostr:npub1r526lguznz3txn0uf7x0an2vymtp8zu5cprmkf84reht3p7j27asmh9pgs and nostr:npub1c688ut3qsz6g6aj92u884wph24mt6xe3yrunxvwd5m9a8zyex4dqdscy0g drops Tues., November 7th. Head to our website to find where to follow/watch/listen
“Everyone gets #bitcoin at the price they deserve” is one of my least favorite “bitcoiner” quotes.
No, not everyone will get #bitcoin at the price they deserve. My hope is that the global south, activists, folks under authoritarian regimes, those cut off from the banking system, those in hyperinflationary economies, in abusive relationships where finances are owned and control by the patriarchal figurehead, those banished from their homes for coming out as a part of the lgbtqia community…that these folks be given education and resources to #learnbitcoin and create a better future for themselves with this ultra-sound freedom money.
Those saying the above mentioned quote are in a privileged and selfish position and appear to care more about stacking and hoarding bitcoin for their gated and exclusive citadels than about global bitcoin adoption for the masses who need it.
What conferences should we attend in 2024?
Potentially doing live shows & in-person recordings?? 😳
We’re expecting this next halving cycle to be a wild one, and we want to bring our message and platform along for the ride. Let us know your recs! DM’s also open ✌️
Gm Friends ☕️🌞
I wanted to revisit a conversation I had with former Governor of New York David Paterson, who served as governor during the 2008 Global Financial Crises, showcasing how there are some political leaders that are open and curious about #bitcoin’s revolutionary benefits to society. Listen/watch if you haven't already 😄
