🎙️ Welcome to Episode 16 of The Honest Money Show

In this episode, Anja sits down with El the Freedom Fairy, a Gen Z Bitcoiner and a passionate advocate for personal liberty and decentralised empowerment. Together, they explore the dangers of political radicalisation on both the right and the left, and how both extremes ultimately lead to increased state control and a loss of personal freedoms.

El breaks down why radicalisation is so harmful, how it divides society, and why neither political extreme provides a genuine path to autonomy. She argues for the need to forge a new movement centred on personal freedoms, accountability, and decentralised principles that reduce reliance on the state. The conversation also highlights how separating money from government is essential in protecting freedom.

The episode further examines Bitcoin’s growing role as a tool for financial sovereignty, the decentralised alternatives it offers, and why its emergence matters for those who value freedom. Anja and El discuss how Bitcoin empowers individuals, how it holds spending accountable, and why it is becoming increasingly important in a world where state power continues to expand.

Whether you're concerned about the rise of political extremism, interested in how Bitcoin supports personal freedoms, or exploring new ways to understand the relationship between money and power, this episode offers clarity, context, and practical insight.
