Live from Bitcoin Beach in El Zonte, El Salvador, In this episode, I sit down with Chris and Frieda from the Bitcoin Sports Network, who are blending their love for Bitcoin and sports into something truly unique. They share their journey from discovering Bitcoin to building a company that hosts sports events—starting with golf tournaments—and how they're using these events to bring people together, educate them about Bitcoin, and grow the Bitcoin community.

We discuss their journey into Bitcoin, why they left California for a Bitcoin-friendly life in Nashville, and how their passion for sports led to the creation of a network that combines Bitcoin education, community building, and global sporting events. Chris and Frieda share stories about working with Bitcoin-focused businesses, hosting inclusive tournaments, and bringing people together through their love of Bitcoin and sports.

Chris and Frieda also share how they’ve been "orange-pilling" locals and businesses here in El Salvador, and the exciting ways Bitcoin is being integrated into sports. Whether you're into golf, Bitcoin, or just want to hear about how a couple followed their passion to create something awesome, this episode is packed with great stories and inspiration.

Tune in to hear how they’re combining proof of work on and off the course!
