Bitcoin Country Podcast

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

Bitcoin and bull riding... ranching and beauty... freedom and societal transformation… Bitcoin Histórico and the new Renaissance Rodeo.

“Ain’t nobody freer than a cowboy” - Stacy Herbert

“It’s part of the Freedom Stack… this frontier mentality that El Salvador has, leading the world in freedom” - Max Keiser

“Not your supply chain, not your food. We need to decentralize the food supply chain... by celebrating the people that raise our food” - James (Renaissance Rodeo organizer)

“I see El Salvador as the homestead for humanity” - Tom Taber

"Cowboy culture is such a big deal here in El Salvador. That's what I've been seeing out there in these Bitcoin circular economies… they're all wearing cowboy hats. They're all doing these rodeos." - Zack Dorsey

“I first came to El Salvador last year for the first Bitcoin Histórico… super exciting. I’ve been down four times since.” - Corey Biser, BitPoker

This November in Bitcoin Country will be unforgettable.
