I really enjoyed my conversation with Eva Vlaardingerbroek about the freedom of speech crisis in the EU, Bitcoin as the solution to inflation and a tool to defund wars, feminism’s evolving role, and political polarization. I hope you check it out!
I’m really honored I had the chance to do an interview with freedom fighter Ron Paul!
I asked Ron about auditing the Fed, U.S. gold holdings, how politicians making $200k are worth $50 million, Bitcoin (we need to work on orange pilling him more) and much more:

Brian Estes is one of the most bullish people I know in the Bitcoin space. He recently released a 2-page white paper on #BitBonds, a proposal for the U.S. Treasury to issue bonds sweetened by a small amount of Bitcoin.
We had a fascinating conversation about BitBonds, Trump, SBR chances, Brian’s price models showing 7-figure Bitcoin, his film God Bless Bitcoin, and what Brian spent 50 Bitcoin on (that he probably wishes he had HODL’ed instead)!

I read a quote about friendship that said friends "are kind to each other's hopes and cherish each other's dreams." That perfectly sums up my nearly 20-year bond with Paula Pendley, this week's very special guest.
Back in June 2021, I attended my first Bitcoin Conference in hopes of learning more, spending time with like-minded people, meeting some of my teachers, and to release the first episodes of Coin Stories. I was a bit nervous to go alone, so I asked my best friend Paula to join me.
Paula didn't just tag along-- she was the ultimate hype girl and support system. She handed out cards with a QR code to my new show to anyone who crossed her path (including a large captive audience in line for the men's restrooms). We got turned away from almost every party and event. She cheered me on as I mustered up the courage to request interviews with icons like Michael Saylor. We had the absolute best time with zero expectations in our wildest dreams that my little hobby show would become my full-time career.
Fast forward to today: Paula is not just completely orange-pilled, but she is also lending her legal expertise to Bitcoin companies and has become very active in the community. She is kind, selfless, brilliant and the best friend anyone could ask for. She is the kind of person you could call at any hour, no matter how busy she is, and she will drop everything to be there for you. She is truly the sister I never had.
This interview is a chance to get to know a rising legal star in the Bitcoin space. I love you so much, P, and I'm so proud of you.

I have had 5 journalists/networks reach out to me over the past few days all wanting to discuss $TRUMP coin. Some explicitly said they were looking for a positive take on it, hoping to better understand the trend and culture surrounding meme coins. When I explained to them that I’d instead like to discuss how Bitcoin is different and how I’m concerned about the investors who buy into the meme coin hype, they all said they will pass on having me for the show/piece they’re working on. We have a long way to go….
Don't miss this brand new interview with Willy Woo breaking down where we are in this Bitcoin cycle, a potential crash, $TRUMP meme coins, $MSTR, and the path to $5 million Bitcoin.
