🎙 BTC Sessions & All In Bitcoin BANNED Again? | Ben Perrin & CK
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Ben Perrin (BTC Sessions) to go deep, not just on Bitcoin, but on censorship, shadowbans, self-custody, and the personal journey behind the tutorials that helped orange-pill tens of thousands.
We talk about getting suspended by legacy platforms (multiple times), while helping others build exit ramps from the fiat matrix.
Ben also opens up about:
His move from performer to Bitcoin educator
The surprising impact of one video on tens of thousands of nodes
Losing friends
Why catchy titles matter (even when we hate it)
Flight anxiety, breakdancing, acapella, perfectionism, and more.

Step inside the mind of @woonomic in one of his most personal interviews ever. In Part 1 of this two-part series, Willy Woo answers 21 bold questions on Bitcoin, belief, money, metrics, panic, identity, and risk.

It’s raw, surprising, and packed with insight for both beginners and Bitcoin veterans.
📌 Topics include: • Bitcoin’s evolution & what we still get wrong • Self-custody vs public visibility • Quiet wins, market panic, and emotional buffers • Walking away, belief death, and finding clarity • The one metric he never publishes

In Part 2, Dr. Jack Kruse goes even deeper. From ideological face-offs with Michael Saylor to explosive allegations in Suriname… From helping draft El Salvador’s public health freedom bill to calling out the risk of Bitcoiners “getting sick off their own bags” — Dr. Jack pulls no punches.
He says most Bitcoiners still don’t get it — about self-custody, about health, and about time. This episode is unfiltered, personal, and packed with stories you haven’t heard before.
➤ Why Jack thinks centralized Bitcoin custody is a ticking time bomb
➤ The Suriname story that blew up on national TV
➤ Why he told President Bukele, “This is my gift to El Salvador.”
➤ What scares him, and what keeps him grounded Brutal honesty, first-principle thinking, and a mission to wake up the world.

What turns a poor kid from Queens into one of the most disruptive minds in Bitcoin and medicine? CK sits down with Dr. Jack Kruse, a world-renowned neurosurgeon and fierce advocate for decentralized medicine, as he opens up about the personal battles, family trauma, and betrayals that forged his fight for truth.
“My mother would’ve been a shitcoiner.”
“Two billion deaths — that’s the punch in the mouth coming.”
“My father taught me who not to be.”
“Doctors lied to my grandfather. I became a neurosurgeon to stop that.”
“I was drafted to play pro baseball. I chose to fight Big Pharma instead.”
🎧 This isn’t just a Bitcoin episode. It’s a firestarter. If you’re tired of lies, and hungry for truth, hit play. You’ll never see medicine, money, or your own story the same way again.
