Why I Sold Property to Buy Bitcoin
Student Loans vs Bitcoin: What’s Actually Riskier?
If you’re 18 today, should you take out a $200,000 loan for a university degree, or start building wealth with Bitcoin? Michael Dunworth and I question the conventional wisdom around higher education, student debt, and the actual return on knowledge in the post-internet era.
No One’s Happy, Everyone’s Dying...Enter Bitcoin
Michael Dunworth and I confront the stark reality of our modern world: rising suicide rates, unaffordable housing, burnout, and the crushing weight of a fiat system that demands more and gives less. We exploree how Bitcoin flips the script, offering predictability, lower time preference, and a path toward a saner, more hopeful future.
Bitcoin: The Common Ground for a Divided World
Can Bitcoin unify humanity? Michael Dunworth and I talk about how Bitcoin transcends cultural, political, and economic boundaries to offer a common standard for cooperation.
“Bitcoin is ultra disciplined. It just keeps going. It’s like the master endurance event — producing another block every 10 minutes. And it doesn’t change for anyone. It’s been getting bombarded with opinions for the past 16 years — ‘oh, we need to tweak this, make that faster’ — and it’s just says ‘no’.
Saying ‘no’ is a modern-day superpower, in my opinion. When you’ve got so much coming at you from every direction, if you can’t say no, you end up bombarded, wobbly, and confused. So the discipline, the relationship, the consistency with Bitcoin — you look at it long enough, it starts staring back at you. What is Bitcoin good at? It shows up every day. It does the hard work. It just keeps going. And it’s ultra reliable.”

"The Amount of Money We are Going to Print is Mind-boggling"
I breakdown the current macro trends, fear in the markets, U.S. government debt confidence, gold signals, and why Bitcoin in self-custody remains the ultimate hedge against inflation, central banking, and systemic fragility.

The Next 5–10 Years of Bitcoin: A Renaissance Reborn
Seb Bunney and I draw parallels between Bitcoin adoption and the Renaissance, exploring how sound money sparks creativity, innovation, and a cultural awakening across society.

Bitcoin Is a Spiritual Tool
Seb Bunney explains how Bitcoin helps us stop obsessing over money and start focusing on who we are and how we want to show up in the world. It’s not just a financial tool, it’s a spiritual tool.
npub1tm2048gau5mp8u5kfnxk68y7wzzpv5ggpuluqmhlhrtaldl49kzs7elpna
"Bitcoin is a spiritual tool. As money is breaking down, we're becoming so hyper-fixated on money for survival that we're just becoming disconnected from everything else.
There’s a reason why one of the biggest industries in the world is the financial industry—it’s because when money breaks down, people need to protect their purchasing power. They need to invest, figure out ways to outpace inflation. The reality is, if we just had a money that allowed us to save—one that actually captured advancements in technology and productivity so prices fell over time—life would get easier. People would stop thinking about money. Because in the end, money is just a means to transact and express what we value.
Money is a spiritual tool. And Bitcoin is the apex of that. Because ironically, when we start living on a Bitcoin standard—even though it’s digital money—it gets us to stop thinking about money. It gets us to start thinking more about how we want to show up."

The Hidden Cost of Money Explained in Less Than 6 Minutes
npub1tm2048gau5mp8u5kfnxk68y7wzzpv5ggpuluqmhlhrtaldl49kzs7elpna
Seb Bunney and I unpack the hidden psychological cost of broken money: how inflation shapes our time preference, erodes our ability to plan for the future, and robs us of meaning, compassion, and health. We explore how fiat keeps us stuck in survival mode, why 74% of people live paycheck to paycheck, and how Bitcoin can help us shift from impulsive consumption to long-term thinking, savings, and self-actualization.

Actually, another thing that comes to mind is the recent 4 episode show on Netflix called Adolescence. In that show, they point to discreet cultures online that affect children's behaviors. I'd say that show is a bit extreme, but it does show how parents, teachers, society can be blind to both bullying and manipulation, and maybe you can't prevent it, but how do you even bring anyone to justice in such cases?
I guess my question is... Can't privacy be used as a weapon too? And if so, how can we defend against that?
Here's another example of anonymity being used as a weapon (somewhat funny, somewhat scary): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwOITqr_fz4

Wonder what will happen across EU and US to open the week?
Some part of me feels there’s going to be some ultra bullish US news that will turn this tide
Time will tell
Firstly, thank you so much for the support of the podcast. Secondly, negative feedback is often more powerful than positive, so I really appreciate the honesty
This post is me considering putting my money into a VC fund
Sorry if not clear
I found it much easier to justify when in BTC terms not fiat
Saying that, I absolutely plan on making more investments in the early stage equity space, something I did a fair bit in 2017/18/19, which could be as a fund manager if I chose to go that route, but I think actually it’s more likely as an angel investor as part of a syndicate
To your point about using leverage to accumulate BTC. This is absolutely one of the best plays as we speak. Using tradfi tools for cheap debt and then buying BTC, and is something I am also looking at, but have yet to make a big play. I did make a speculative bet with a small allocation on MATA listed in Canada
When the game goes in a direction they don’t like… stop playing the game to save their friends
What fun
The more I’ve looked into it, the only way to run a Bitcoin VC fund is to denominate in BTC
A) Give me 250k usd for 10 years
Vs
B) Give me 2x BTC for 10 years
A) is hard to justify vs owning more BTC. But B) is much easier sell. You might get you BTC back, plus the fund returns, or maybe even dividends. B) means you put the concept of beating the BTC hurdle rate right on the fund manager. Who cares how many dollars you might get back in 19 years when they can just print them
How we finance innovation on a sound money standard is fascinating
