Mike Alfred is a man of many accomplishments. He is a 2x software founding CEO with 2 successful exits, including most recently by NYDIG. Mike combines a razor-sharp understanding of traditional markets with a deep understanding of bitcoin. He has spent the last 4 years working in the cryptocurrency space where he came to profoundly understand bitcoin and its potential world-changing impacts.

Mike isn't just a book smart guy though he has traveled to nearly 50 counties and has a sharp wit which is very apparent in his online presence. Mike recently became very active on Twitter and has been growing in popularity very rapidly where he has made friends with some of the top people in the space, most notably Lyn Alden.

I had an incredible time interviewing Mike. We went over his bitcoin journey, his opinions of the space (including Ethereum), and some of his favorite companies. Mike is no Toxic Maxi, but he brings TONS of value and helps everyone around them grow their understanding of bitcoin.

If you believe bitcoiners are toxic you may be confusing it for integrity.

In this episode, I spoke with "Twitter's Best Kept Secret" Tomer Strolight. Tomer and I discussed his most popular piece "Bitcoiners Aren't Toxic, They Have Integrity". In the short piece, Tomer lays out the case that bitcoiners are some of the most welcoming and inclusive people on the planet. Tomer reads his short piece on the show then we dive into deep talks about toxicity, truth, and integrity.

Tomer is a legendary writer and I hope after listening to him here you will go check out his Medium where he has dozens of short pieces.

Elon Musk thinks it's ok to make changes to bitcoin regularly because he is a technologist and he misunderstands the design behind bitcoin that gives it so much value.

Join me as I speak with Author and fellow bitcoiner, Vijay Boyapati. Vijay's passion for computer science and finance led him to discover bitcoin early. He went on to write the popular article "The Bullish Case for Bitcoin", which is also the title of his upcoming book.

Many popular names in the bitcoin space, such as Michael Saylor, have described this article as the "Tour de France" of articles. This interview was that as well. We cover a multitude of topics.

I hope you all enjoy this interview as much as I did and thank you for taking the time to listen!

It's been one month since the BitClout tweets and the explosive aftermath.

Robert Breedlove is a well-known speaker, writer, and host of the “What is Money” podcast. He got into some hot water when he tweeted about BitClout and then defended his approach with a long medium article.

I invited Robert onto the show to speak about our experience in the bitcoin community dealing with being called out by fellow bitcoiners. Eventually, I could not pass up the opportunity to go very deep on all things regarding the BitClout situation. We discussed his side of the situation and how we can shift the focus back onto bitcoin.

I appreciate Robert's candidness and how willing he was to discuss the topic. I hope you find this episode as thrilling as I did during the interview.

Humans have become obsessed with safety and comfort, but life without risk is meaningless...

Aleks Svetski, the host of the Wake Up podcast, and I speak about all the possible outcomes of a bitcoin world. He believes we have all let ourselves become so obsessed with having an "easy life" that we have forgotten what life is all about. According to Aleks, if you aren't moving forward in life, you are moving backward towards death and decay.

Aleks and I also spoke about "The State" and whether or not they will grasp for power as bitcoin begins to rise. Aleks believes this "grasp for power" will only increase the rate of The State's demise.

Aleks and I also spoke about:
- Taking risks
- "The State"
- Fire Vs. Bitcoin Impacts
- Personal Responsibility
- Private City-States
- Gov Mandates

I had a great conversation with Aleks, and although he has some pessimistic views on the near term, he is ultimately very bullish on the future that bitcoin will bring about. I look forward to continuing the conversation in the future.

It's better to explain "what's wrong with the world" before explaining why someone needs bitcoin.

In this episode, I spoke with the author of "The Price of Tomorrow", Jeff Booth. We discussed how tech and Bitcoin are creating a deflationary world for us. The misunderstanding surrounding CPI & GDP,  U.S. markets,  building bridges, and what lead Jeff to write his book.

Jeff is an inspiration in the Bitcoin space. His goal has been to ensure we engage the discussion around the deflationary forces and stop trying to use old economic tools that don't work anymore (like printing money). This podcast is full of gems that could lead you on the path to understanding what the future holds.

Please be sure to share this episode and if you have a moment write a review on Apple Podcasts. Doing so helps the show and brings in new and exciting guests.

Thank you for your support and I will see you on the other side!

WIll the USA adopt a Bitcoin Standard?

Alex Gladstein and I discuss the potential for a “Monetary Declaration of Independence” in the latest episode of Smart People Shit.

Alex Gladstein is the Chief Strategy Officer for the Human Rights Foundation. An organization dedicated to pushing back against tyrants and fighting authoritarianism around the globe.

Alex dropped a recent article titled “Bitcoin and The American Idea,” where he writes that  America has strayed from some of its founding principles and how “Bitcoin can help get it back on track.”
