Bitcoiners - Live From Bitcoin Beach

Did Bukele Prove Bitcoin Adoption & Financial Sovereignty Will Never Be Voluntary? | Trace Mayer


Listen Later

Trace Mayer, Bitcoin OG and advocate for monetary sovereignty, joins us for a compelling deep dive into the real-world implications of El Salvador’s groundbreaking adoption of Bitcoin. This wasn’t a surface-level chat, we covered everything from Bitcoin in El Salvador to the broader global reset many are calling the Fourth Turning.

We explored how President Bukele is reshaping El Salvador by combining bold leadership with sound money principles and how Bitcoin fits into that transformation. Trace shares why financial freedom is rooted in individuals taking control of their money, and how El Salvador is providing a real-world test case for that philosophy.

We also talk about the risk of centralized financial tools like ETFs, the importance of self-custody through initiatives like Proof of Keys, and how Bitcoin’s growing financial infrastructure, especially in derivatives and custody, is shaping the future.
