Italian Olive Oil on a Bitcoin Standard
What happens when you run out of fiat to buy Bitcoin? You start selling your value directly for sats. In this episode, Brandon Karpeles sits down with Alessandro, the founder of Sat’s Oil, to discuss his journey from the high-end Italian hospitality industry to becoming a Bitcoin-only merchant.
Alessandro shares a live tasting of his family's extra virgin olive oil and explains why quality products and hard money go hand-in-hand. He breaks down:
- His background in Michelin-star restaurants and why he left the industry
- The "Meritocracy" problem in traditional European jobs
- How he ran out of savings to buy Bitcoin—and decided to earn it instead
- The Live Taste Test: Why real olive oil should be spicy and cloudy
- Why Bitcoiners are the most discerning customers in the world
- The "Digital Cash" realization: Final settlement vs. credit promises
- How he successfully orange-pilled his shipping courier to accept Bitcoin
- The strategy of asking every merchant if they take Bitcoin (planting the seed)
- The difference between Italian coffee culture and American marketing
- Why the "Circular Economy" is the only way to escape the fiat trap
This episode is a delicious dive into the practical application of Bitcoin commerce, the pursuit of quality, and why the best products are increasingly being gated behind sound money.
