Phil is a Bitcoiner, a musician, and hosts the podcast A Boy Named Pseu which is about all things Bitcoin.

Phil and I had an excellent deep talk about the following:

• The Bitcoin social layer.
• Citadels.
• Love.
• religion and spirituality.
• The harsh yet beautiful reality of the free market that bitcoin is bringing about in the world.
