"We're living through a monetary collapse. Four years ago I predicted that within five years the EU would be no more. It looks like they're front-running even my prediction."
— Tony Yazbeck, The Bitcoin Way
The money has failed. Europe is burning. And most people are still looking for someone to blame instead of looking at the root cause.
Tony Yazbeck from The Bitcoin Way watched Lebanon collapse in 2019. He lost everything. Today he helps people around the world build sovereign financial lives with Bitcoin.
In this full interview we discuss:
🔸 Why Europe is burning — and why broken money is the root cause🔸 The EU's plan to mobilise €33 trillion in European household savings🔸 Capital controls — Cyprus, Greece, Lebanon, and what comes next for Europe🔸 Physical attacks on Bitcoiners in Europe — the story nobody is covering🔸 Hardware wallet security in 2026 — what to do after the Ledger supply chain hack🔸 Relocation as a Bitcoin strategy — where to go and why🔸 Why Bitcoin ETFs keep you dependent on the same system that failed you🔸 How to build a sovereign financial life — no shortcuts, no workarounds

“So, what is it like not having a bank account and running a business?”
Prashanth, co-founder of Bringin, knows exactly what it’s like. His previous startup had its Wise account closed without explanation… RIGHT BEFORE PAYROLL.
In this full interview, Prashanth breaks down why UK and EU banks are blocking legitimate Bitcoin businesses, what MiCA’s 75% wipeout of EU crypto companies actually means for entrepreneurs, and why the Travel Rule makes accepting Bitcoin payments about as practical as giving your home address when buying a coffee.
Then he explains what he built instead.

“I have bitcoin and I wanna spend it. That one minute feels like a lot of time when you’re standing in a queue.”
Prashanth moved to Europe with Bitcoin. No euros, no local bank account. What happened next is something every Bitcoiner who has tried to spend their sats in the real world will recognize immediately.
In this full interview, Prashanth, founder of Bringin (the app that lets you spend Bitcoin anywhere) talks about moving countries with Bitcoin, the demonetization of the Indian rupee, why Bitcoin is branded as “get rich quick” instead of a payment solution, and what it actually feels like to be an immigrant who also does weird Bitcoin things at the checkout.
We also talk about Japan, bank fees, 13,000 orchids, and saving in Bitcoin for a Toto toilet.

Jay's grandmother was always dressed, her jewels, her furs, her presence. That's the real origin story behind BitBabe, the Bitcoin jewelry brand Jay built after searching for a Bitcoin necklace she actually liked and couldn't find one.
In this full-length interview, Jay and I talk about how she got into Bitcoin (it started with a guy who wouldn't stop watching Michael Saylor videos), how jewelry became a quiet way to start Bitcoin conversations with strangers, and how becoming a mom redefined what luxury actually means to both of us, sleep, time, real food, and a garden instead of a grocery store.
🎉 The bounty has been tripled to 63,000 sats.
