🎯 EPISODE THESIS

What if Bitcoin isn't growing exponentially — and that's exactly why it lasts?

The global monetary base is about 26.2 trillion dollars. Bitcoin is about 1.2 trillion. That means Bitcoin is still less than 5% of the world's base money.

In this episode of BitCorner Podcast, Matthew "Matty" Mezinskis (@1basemoney) — macroeconomic researcher, host of Crypto Voices, and one of the leading voices on the Bitcoin power law and global money supply data — joins us from Latvia to explain what money really is, how Bitcoin compares to the global monetary base, and why its price follows a power law instead of an exponential curve.

Matty walks us through his charts live: what a log-log chart shows, why the power law is "something you can't unsee," where we are in the cycle right now, and why he thinks Bitcoin grows like a city, not a nation state.

We also discuss:

• Why study money, and what the 2008 financial crisis taught a generation

• What money is — and why your credit card isn't money at all

• Base money vs. M1, M2 and M3

• Bitcoin vs. the global monetary base, and how it compares to gold

• Why central banks hold a monopoly on money — and why that might not be forever

• Governments, El Salvador and Bitcoin

• How to read the Bitcoin power law chart (log-linear vs. log-log)

• Power law vs. stock-to-flow

• Where we are now in the Bitcoin cycle

• Cities, nation states and power laws

• The strongest argument against the power law

• Why exponential trends are dangerous

• Geopolitics and money, from the Baltics to Ukraine

This is not a price prediction episode.

It is a conversation about how money actually works — and why a scarce, predictable asset that grows on a power curve could be the most important monetary experiment of our time.

Bitcoin is still under 5% of the world's base money.

How big can it get — and how fast?

🎯 SOBRE ESTE EPISODIO

¿Qué pasa cuando alguien que nació en Venezuela —un país marcado por inflación, devaluación y restricciones financieras— termina viviendo en Suiza, uno de los centros financieros más importantes del mundo?

Carolina, conocida en internet como @LaPetiteADA, nos cuenta su camino desde Venezuela hasta convertirse en una de las voces más visibles de Bitcoin en Europa.

Hablamos de cómo llegó a Bitcoin durante la pandemia, por qué pasó del interés inicial por el precio y la especulación a entender los principios detrás de Bitcoin, y qué significa realmente la soberanía financiera para alguien que ha vivido las consecuencias de un sistema monetario inestable.

Carolina compró Bitcoin por primera vez en 2019 y comenzó a crear contenido en 2022. Desde entonces, ha utilizado sus plataformas para educar, hablar de autocustodia y acercar Bitcoin a nuevas audiencias.

Pero también hablamos de algo mucho más concreto:

Su familia llegó a vender una propiedad en Venezuela utilizando Bitcoin.

Una historia que convierte toda la conversación sobre adopción en algo mucho más real: ¿qué ocurre cuando Bitcoin deja de ser una teoría y se convierte en una herramienta para proteger y mover el patrimonio de una familia?

También comparamos dos mundos muy diferentes:

🇻🇪 Venezuela y Latinoamérica, donde Bitcoin puede representar una forma de proteger los ahorros frente a monedas debilitadas.

🇨🇭 Suiza, donde Bitcoin convive con uno de los sistemas financieros más desarrollados del mundo y donde la adopción tiene motivaciones muy diferentes.

Y, por supuesto, hablamos de El Salvador.

Desde la perspectiva de una venezolana que vive en Europa, ¿qué significa ver a un país latinoamericano apostar por Bitcoin?

¿Por qué Latinoamérica puede tener una relación tan distinta con Bitcoin que Europa?

¿Estamos viendo dos caminos diferentes hacia la misma tecnología?

🧠 EN ESTE EPISODIO HABLAMOS DE:

• El camino de Carolina desde Venezuela hasta Bitcoin

• Cómo llegó a Bitcoin durante la pandemia

• Por qué compró Bitcoin por primera vez en 2019

• De la especulación a entender los principios de Bitcoin

• Inflación, devaluación y soberanía financiera

• La relación entre Bitcoin y Latinoamérica

• Venezuela y la pérdida del poder adquisitivo

• El caso real de una propiedad vendida por Bitcoin

• Autocustodia y libertad financiera

• Bitcoin en Venezuela vs. Bitcoin en Suiza

• La adopción de Bitcoin en Europa

• Bitcoin Prague y la comunidad europea

• El papel de las mujeres en Bitcoin

• Educación y creación de contenido

• El Salvador visto desde la perspectiva de una venezolana

• Bitcoin como herramienta de ahorro

• La diferencia entre adoptar Bitcoin por necesidad y adoptarlo por convicción

• La importancia de la descentralización

• Cómo explicar Bitcoin a personas que todavía no lo entienden

• Comunidad, redes sociales y Bitcoin

• Y mucho más.

🇻🇪 LATAM → 🇨🇭 EUROPA → 🇸🇻 EL SALVADOR

Una conversación sobre cómo la relación que tenemos con el dinero cambia completamente dependiendo de dónde nacemos.

En Venezuela, la experiencia monetaria puede hacer que Bitcoin se perciba como una herramienta para proteger los ahorros.

En Suiza, el contexto es completamente diferente: Bitcoin convive con un sistema financiero desarrollado y una cultura bancaria profundamente arraigada.

Carolina ha vivido ambos mundos.

Y eso hace que su perspectiva sea especialmente interesante.

🎵 BITCOIN Y MÚSICA

Antes de cerrar, también hablamos de una parte diferente de Carolina: la música.

Desde pequeña le ha gustado cantar y ha explorado cómo utilizar la música como una forma de comunicar ideas relacionadas con Bitcoin y acercar estos conceptos a nuevas audiencias.

👤 SOBRE CAROLINA

Carolina “La Petite Hada” es una creadora de contenido y defensora de Bitcoin nacida en Venezuela y residente en Suiza.

Su contenido gira alrededor de Bitcoin, autocustodia, soberanía financiera, adopción y educación.

Ha participado activamente en la comunidad Bitcoin europea y ha asistido a eventos como Bitcoin Prague y Bitcoin Vegas.

🎯 EPISODE THESIS

What does privacy have to do with economics?

And what happens when you combine Austrian economics, cypherpunk technology, and Bitcoin?

In this episode of BitCorner Podcast, Max Hillebrand — Austrian economist, cypherpunk, privacy engineer, and author of The Praxeology of Privacy — joins us for a deep conversation about human action, privacy, money, and freedom.

We explore why privacy isn't simply about “having something to hide,” but a fundamental part of being able to act freely.

Max explains how surveillance can distort economic behavior, why Bitcoin’s digital scarcity matters, the risks surrounding manipulation and censorship, and the difficult engineering trade-offs involved in developing an open monetary network.

We also discuss:

• Austrian economics and the lessons of El Salvador’s Bitcoin experiment

• Why privacy follows naturally from praxeology and human action

• How surveillance can distort prices, incentives, and economic decisions

• Bitcoin as digital base money

• The difference between Bitcoin and money substitutes built on top of it

• Whether Bitcoin can be manipulated despite its decentralized architecture

• Censorship, spam, block space, and Bitcoin development

• The trade-offs involved in changing Bitcoin’s rules

• The future of Satoshi’s coins

• Bitcoin scaling and the challenges ahead

• Cypherpunk technology and the broader freedom stack

• Why economics and privacy technology need to be understood together

• The philosophical foundations behind The Praxeology of Privacy

This is not simply a conversation about Bitcoin privacy.

It is a conversation about human freedom — and whether individuals can continue to control their money, information, and choices in a world where observation and financial control are becoming increasingly powerful.

Bitcoin solved something extraordinary: digital scarcity without a trusted third party.

But what does that mean for privacy, sovereignty, and human action?

🎯 EPISODE THESIS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Not your keys, not your coins" only protects you if the keys were actually random in the first place.

This week, Coinkite disclosed that certain Coldcard devices generated recovery phrases with weakened randomness — and updating the firmware doesn't fix a seed that's already out there. Coinkite's founder NVK called it "heartbroken" territory in a public apology, and committed to full transparency on how it happened.

In this episode, I break down exactly what went wrong in the code, why it slipped past review for years, and — most importantly — the exact steps to check if you're affected and migrate your funds safely.

This is the episode you send to anyone you know holding a Coldcard, especially if they're not glued to crypto Twitter. Every hour matters.

🎯 EPISODE THESIS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

What happens when you spend 800 days crossing 42 countries using only Bitcoin?

You stop being a fanatic. You become a realist. Then a pilgrim.

That's the journey of Paco de la India — Indian traveler, Bitcoin nomad, and author of the upcoming book Proof of Work. In this episode of BitCorner Podcast, Paco shares what no conference talk or Twitter thread can: what Bitcoin actually looks like on the ground, from the Congo-South Sudan border to a Bitcoin circular economy in a South African township.

From human rights activists in Ghana using Bitcoin to rescue refugees from pirates, to P2P traders in Kenya, to cypherpunks in Prague — Paco has seen every use case. And his verdict? Bitcoin is a tool. A human tool. And the humans using it are kind.

This is the episode you send to someone who thinks Bitcoin is only for the wealthy West.

🎯 EPISODE THESIS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Before, if you wanted to extract productive work from another human being, you had to physically dominate them. Today, they just print the money. Same crime. Different tool.

That's the thesis of Neil Flesher — philosopher, U.S. Army veteran, and author of Monetary Slavery. In this episode of BitCorner Podcast, Neil makes the most powerful case for Bitcoin you've probably never heard: not the economic case, not the price case — the moral case.

Fiat money isn't broken. It's evil. And Bitcoin isn't just a better investment — it's the first tool in history that lets you opt out of a system designed to extract everything you've ever earned.

This is the episode you send to the person who still doesn't get Bitcoin.

🎯 EPISODE THESIS

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

She's 20 years old, studying computer science in Australia, comes from a Bitcoin family — and just released her 100th episode.

In this episode of BitCorner Podcast, we sit down with Nikki, Gen Z Bitcoin & AI educator and host of her own podcast, to talk about what it's actually like to grow up right now: rent going up three times in a year, AI eating the job market, a broken monetary system no one taught you about in school — and then discovering Bitcoin.

We go deep on why Gen Z might be the most important generation for Bitcoin adoption, how AI is reshaping content creation and careers, low time preference as a life philosophy, and the one hypothetical that will keep you thinking for days: if Satoshi walked up to you in a coffee shop and handed you their private keys — what would you do?

🎯 DE QUÉ VA ESTE EPISODIO

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

¿Y si hubiera una conferencia Bitcoin en España donde en lugar de charlas de precio y especulación, se hablara de soberanía real, permacultura, privacidad, estructuras paralelas, homeschooling y economía circular?

Existe. Se llama Barcelona Cypher Conference, y regresa en 2025 con su segunda edición.

En este episodio de BitCorner Podcast me siento con los tres organizadores: Albert, Rafa y Marlene. Hablamos de por qué esta conferencia es diferente, qué esperar del evento del 29 y 30 de mayo en el Campus La Salle de Barcelona, y por qué el mundo cypherpunk va mucho más allá de Bitcoin.
