October 08The Case for Betting on Abundance, Not Collapse | Peter St Onge
In this episode of the Hosting Bitcoin Podcast, Beau Turner sits down with Peter to explore the economic forces behind that transformation, from inflation and money printing to technological deflation, investing, Bitcoin, and the future of work.
Peter shares the path that led him from mainstream economics to Austrian economics and eventually Bitcoin, and explains why technological progress should naturally make life cheaper, how monetary policy can absorb those gains, and why inflation affects asset owners and everyday savers very differently.
The conversation also looks ahead to what happens as AI accelerates productivity and transforms entire industries. While many see disruption, Peter sees extraordinary opportunity for those willing to adapt.
Inside this conversation:
How Peter found Austrian economics and Bitcoin
Why technology should naturally make things cheaper
Why money itself isn’t wealth
How money printing redistributes access to real resources
Bitcoin’s role in an inflationary monetary system
Trading vs. long-term capital allocation
How AI could transform jobs and the economy
Why your skills have to evolve as the economy changes
Why Peter believes the opportunities ahead outweigh the reasons for fear
This is a conversation about understanding where the world is going and how to think about your money, your skills, and your future as it changes.

September 24Robert Breedlove: Bitcoin Gives You Freedom. What are you going to do with it?
Robert traces the path that led him to Bitcoin, from an early obsession with reading and first-principles thinking to discovering the problems of central banking and eventually recognizing Bitcoin as an engineering solution to a problem he had spent years trying to understand.
But this conversation goes far beyond money.
Robert explains why he believes Bitcoin can unlock more than financial freedom. It can create greater freedom over your time, where you live, what you pay attention to, and ultimately what you choose to do with that freedom.
Because eventually, as Robert puts it, the question becomes: “Yeah, but so what? What are you going to do?”
That question takes Beau and Robert into a much broader conversation about entrepreneurship, ambition, faith, responsibility, relationships, and the tradeoffs we make in pursuit of meaningful work.
They explore why entrepreneurship can be a way of living beyond yourself, why the price of anything can be measured by the amount of life you exchange for it, and why achieving greater freedom may ultimately create a greater responsibility to decide what your life is actually for.
As Robert puts it:
“History is a live event.”
Inside this conversation:
How Robert’s search to understand money ultimately led him to Bitcoin
Why Bitcoin is an engineering solution to a monetary problem
Why “What is money?” reveals more than you might expect
How Bitcoin can unlock financial, temporal, spatial, and cognitive freedom
What happens when freedom forces you to ask: What are you going to do with it?
The tradeoffs between entrepreneurship, ambition, and living a fulfilling life
How faith, responsibility, and legacy shape Robert’s worldview
This is a conversation about Bitcoin, but it’s also about what comes after grasping Bitcoin.
What do you do with the freedom it can create? What deserves your time? What are you willing to trade your life for? And when it’s all said and done, what do you want your life to have been about?

August 20Larry Lepard on the End of Fiat and the Abundance that Follows
Larry has spent decades studying monetary history and investing through multiple market cycles. His thesis is clear: growing debt, persistent money printing, and currency debasement are putting increasing pressure on the current fiat system.
But his outlook on what comes next is far more optimistic than you might expect.
Larry reflects on some of his biggest missed opportunities, including passing on companies like Amazon because he underestimated the power of network effects, and explains how those experiences completely changed the way he evaluates Bitcoin today.
He also shares why conviction is earned through understanding, how he navigates Bitcoin’s volatility without losing sight of the bigger picture, and why some of the greatest investing lessons come from being willing to admit when you were wrong.
This conversation is about far more than investment returns. It’s about Larry’s belief that sound money can create the foundation for a more honest, productive, and abundant future.
As Larry puts it:
“The point is that things will get better. They will get much, much better.”
Inside this conversation:
The simple question Larry asks himself before buying more Bitcoin during market downturns

Why missing Amazon became one of the most valuable lessons of his investing career

How to think about Bitcoin’s volatility and major drawdowns

Why Bitcoin’s network effects remind Larry more of the internet than a traditional investment

The case for Bitcoin as a global monetary network

Why digital scarcity changed the way Larry thinks about money

What decades of investing taught him about conviction, patience, and being wrong

Why growing debt and monetary debasement are putting pressure on the fiat system

What a transition back toward sound money could look like

Why Larry remains incredibly optimistic about what could come next
If you’ve heard Larry Lepard before, you know his passion and conviction.
This conversation reveals a more personal side of Larry, exploring the stories, mistakes, and pivotal moments that shaped his thinking and ultimately led him to Bitcoin.

Walker America joins Beau Turner to discuss how one of the hardest seasons of his life reshaped the way he thinks about Bitcoin, wealth, family, and what we're ultimately building.
If you've been around Bitcoin for any length of time, you're probably familiar with Walker and Carla. Their humor and creativity helped propel them into the heart of the Bitcoin community. And if Carla's recent medical emergency proved anything, it's just how deeply that community cares for them.

June 25 Why Even a 10% Bitcoin Probability Implies Massive Upside with Nik Bhatia
Nik Bhatia challenges several assumptions commonly held by Bitcoiners.
Not because he's bearish, but because he believes strong ideas deserve strong scrutiny.
In this episode of Hosting Bitcoin, Beau Turner sits down with Nik Bhatia, author of Layered Money, Bitcoin Age, and founder of The Bitcoin Layer, for a wide-ranging conversation on money, credit, Bitcoin, AI, investing, and the future of the global financial system.
At the same time, Nik makes one of the strongest long-term cases for Bitcoin you'll hear anywhere.
He explains why he believes Bitcoin becoming the world's monetary base layer is a realistic possibility, why even a modest probability of that outcome implies enormous upside, and why investors continue to underestimate the significance of absolute digital scarcity.
Among the ideas Nik explores:
• Bitcoin is not replacing the financial system
• A credit-based economy isn't going away
• AI may be more important than Bitcoin over the next decade
• The U.S. remains the global center of innovation and capital formation
• Bitcoin doesn't create productivity. It preserves wealth.
• Gold, real estate, and Bitcoin may coexist for decades
Topics Covered:
• Why people only buy Bitcoin when it's going up
• The hidden plumbing of the global financial system
• Credit, collateral, and trust
• Why Bitcoin complements rather than replaces the current system
• Can Bitcoin become the world's base-layer money?
• Bitcoin's path to a multi-million-dollar valuation
• Why AI may be a bigger opportunity than Bitcoin right now
• U.S. innovation, capital flows, and entrepreneurship
• Optimism versus fear in investing
• The future of abundance and human flourishing

June 11 Julian Assange and The $6 Billion Bounty on Truth with Eugene Jarecki
As a Bitcoiner, there's a good chance you've followed Assange's story closely. When he was finally released in June 2024 after years of confinement and legal battles, many in the Bitcoin community felt more than relief.
It was emotional. It was personal. It forced people to reflect on the cost of telling the truth, the power of information, and what happens when individuals challenge the world's most powerful institutions.
The connection between Bitcoiners and truth-seekers like Assange runs deeper than most realize. Both have spent years questioning centralized power, advocating for transparency, and defending individual sovereignty.
When traditional financial networks cut WikiLeaks off from receiving donations, Bitcoin became one of the few tools that allowed the organization to continue operating, demonstrating in real time the power of money beyond the control of gatekeepers.
In this conversation, Eugene shares the remarkable story behind the film, the six-year investigation that spanned fifteen countries, the extraordinary measures taken to protect sensitive information, and why Assange's story is ultimately about much more than one man.
Together, they explore censorship, state power, freedom of information, and the enduring connection between financial sovereignty and the pursuit of truth.
Topics Covered:
• The untold story of Julian Assange
• Why WikiLeaks turned to Bitcoin
• Bitcoin as "freedom money"
• The cost of telling the truth
• Censorship, media gatekeepers, and state power
• Edward Snowden's role in the film
• The meaning behind The Six Billion Dollar Man
• Transparency and accountability in the digital age
• The shared values of Bitcoiners and truth-seekers
• A new model for independent film distribution
• How you can support the film
