This episode features Roark Janis, founder of bitbooks.com and btcaccounting.org, who discusses his Bitcoin education initiative in Pakistan, inspired by My First Bitcoin, and his Bitcoin-native accounting software project.

Key Topics:

  • Roarke's background in accounting, auditing (including for Apple), and supply chain management.
  • His journey down the Bitcoin rabbit hole starting in 2021, shifting from skepticism to deep conviction.
  • The "blockchain, not Bitcoin" narrative and its misapplication in supply chain visibility.
  • Bitcoin's blockchain as a perfect, immutable ledger compared to traditional accounting.
  • His personal decision to move to Karachi, Pakistan, and his observations on the local economy and people.
  • Launching a My First Bitcoin node in Pakistan, the challenges of adoption, and the "Bitcoin Babies" program.
  • The development of BitBooks, an open-source accounting system designed to treat Bitcoin as a cash account.
  • The btcaccounting.org initiative to foster collaboration and establish accounting standards for Bitcoin.
  • The importance of self-custody and the broader My First Bitcoin initiatives globally.
