    In episode 50 of Bitcoin is Hard, Brian and Fitch take a look back at the past catalogue of episodes and also look back deeper in history to the early internet. It's no doubt, we're at another pivotal moment in Bitcoin's story and this was a wide ranging discussion searching for meaning.

  • Tokenomics and Why Does it Need a Blockchain with Nate @EatSleepCrypto | Part 1

    Why are there so many cryptocurrencies? What do they all do? How do they all relate to Bitcoin? Is the future multi chain?

    This is now my favorite episode of Bitcoin is Hard, for 7 years I’ve been on this journey of trying to figure out what role Bitcoin is playing in the world and what role other cryptocurrencies and tokens may or may not have.

    Hope you enjoy part 1 and huge thanks to Nate for hanging out for so long and walking us through his ideas that he has been piecing together over those same several years.  Like, subscribe, comment, and share this episode with a friend who needs to hear it!

  • $10 Million of Crypto Mortgages with Josip Rupena, CEO of Milo

    Ever since episode 1 of Bitcoin is Hard with my friend George Mekhail we have exploring the idea of Bitcoin and crypto mortgages. Our real estate playlist of episodes is among the most watched and engaged with. What is interesting about Milo is they weren’t founded as a crypto company, they are and always have been a mortgage lender to borrowers who don’t fit into the “prime box”.

    That’s immediately what made Milo stick out to me is that they have a history of making mortgage loans work in the absence of regular W2 income, citizenship and FICO scores. What’s cool about this is they are bringing Bitcoin and crypto to their industry and using it to evolve on products they have already found huge success with.

    Hope you enjoy this conversation with Milo CEO Josip Rupena!

  • Is It Really Bitcoin vs. Everything Else?

    For the last few years I have been primarily focused on Bitcoin adoption in the physical world and how it will show up in taco shops and small businesses and e commerce businesses for shipping physical goods. Doing all this I mostly allowed web 3 and DeFi to take a back seat mentally, recently I’ve been poking around to see what may or may not have changed since I last looked into it and how the movement parallels or doesn’t parallel Bitcoin.

    Super appreciate Patrick for hanging out with me on the show and talking through a lot of developing thoughts with him! If anything sticks out to you shoot us a tweet!

  • Real Estate Proof of Work with Bobby Fijan

    This is now the cornerstone of our Bitcoin and Real Estate crossover playlist! I loved this convo and hope you enjoy it! I’m so thankful that Bobby Fijan came on to talk to us about what goes into apartment buildings being the way they are.

    We used that concept to get into great detail on:

    • How excel and cap rates drive decisions and good or bad floor plans are an after thought
    • How real estate developers think about money the currency USD
    • How real estate and Bitcoin are on the back of the same fundamentals that USD is not working as a signaling device
    • Zoning laws impact on development and how long term holders make the best decisions
    • Why fix the money fix the world is a thing and how the monetary policy of Bitcoin can be a rallying point
