Anil has been a bitcoiner since 2015 ever since the first ever Bitcoin ATM was installed in his neighborhood. He has traveled down the rabbit hole steadily ever since until he was eventually able to start working independently full time educating about Bitcoin. He’s been producing some very high quality threads, courses and workshops .As you all know, I’m all about Bitcoin education, so definitely had to have Anil on for a chat.

For episode 100 I went back into the early interview episodes and grabbed some clips of me sharing about the early days of my journey when I lacked any conviction at all about what was going on here up to recent episodes where I am bullish as fuck and utterly convicted that we’re all living through the dawn of the bitcoin renaissance right now. In between are clips that represent the ideas that I have gleaned from the great Bitcoiners I’ve had the opportunity to interview and discuss Bitcoin with over the past couple years and have become foundational to my understanding of Bitcoin.

Croesus BTC is a nym, of course, pretty fresh on the scene. He’s burst on the scene with some killer threads and viral tweets.

Reed is an interesting guy and in this episode we get into his experience with meditation and Zen Bhuddism, discuss Bitcoin’s effect on society, Reed’s bitcoin journey through the shitcoin and stocks casino and safely out the other side. There’s a lot more, it was a pretty dense conversation, let’s just dive in.

Obi Nwosu is co-founder and CEO of Coinfloor - a UK based Bitcoin exchange. Coinfloor was founded in early 2013, so Obi has been on the scene for a long time. In this episode we talk about Obi’s background, the founding and growth of Coinfloor, get some Bitcoin history stories and dive into a bit of tech at the end - Obi has an engineering background. Obi is one of the good ones, it was a real treat to get to spend some time with him - I think you’ll agree.

Pretty much all of you will know Guy, he’s the creator and host of Bitcoin Audible, one of the most valuable educational resources in Bitcoin. He’s also a buddy of mine and it’s always fun to chill and chat with him for a couple hours. We go all over the place in this one - we talk open source software, privacy, our post-truth society, go pretty deep on Taproot and why it’s such an important soft-fork upgrade, the emerging bitcoin-only industry and at the end we get bullish on price and the official beginning of the next bull run.

Today we sit down with Vake. He's been around for a long time. In this one we go back in history and talk about bitcoin in the 2013-2016 era, a lot of fun to dive back and will be some new stuff to a lot of you who, like me came in 2017 or later. We then talk about bitcoin in the here and now and move on to some speculation about the coming decade. This is good stuff - I know all you bitcoiners will enjoy!
