Jules was inspired by homeschooling ideas to initiate a home camp. The main theme? Teaching her 12-year-old daughter and her friends about Bitcoin.

Before jumping into Bitcoin, Jules took the kids on a journey through the evolution of money. From bartering to using shells and coins, all the way to our modern banking system.

The kids played the 'HODL UP' game (from freemarketkids.com), and Jules emphasized the importance of understanding the bigger picture - the "why" behind Bitcoin.

Jules and Tali touch upon an important point - the noticeable absence of women in the Bitcoin space.

Tali and Jules' conversation sheds light on the importance of teaching younger generations about Bitcoin and the broader financial landscape. If 12-year-olds can get it, surely the rest of us can too! Don't you think it's time we start asking the right questions?

In this episode, Tali interviews Jules about her Bitcoin journey. Jules began learning about Bitcoin during the pandemic, as she became concerned with the printing of money and the stock market's behavior. She had heard about Bitcoin in 2017 but truly delved into its intricacies during the pandemic, recognizing it as a solid store of value. Jules emphasizes the advantages Bitcoin offers, such as freedom of transaction, censorship resistance, and self-sovereignty. She also touches on the misinterpretations around Bitcoin, like its association with criminal activities. Tali and Jules discuss how the current education and employment system perpetuates certain norms and discourages children from questioning authority. Jules shares that her dive into the Bitcoin realm led her to see broader societal systems with a more critical eye, urging her to question everything. Tali agrees, acknowledging the eye-opening impact of understanding Bitcoin.

In part three of my discussion with Manvir, she related Bitcoin to the idea of “heaven on earth”. While she found the Bitcoin world initially daunting, she emphasized the importance of community learning, recommending “The Hidden Secrets of Money” on YouTube to grasp the history of money. Manvir stressed that even without a formal education in finance, individuals can and should equip themselves with financial knowledge. A significant takeaway? Investing in Bitcoin doesn't require purchasing an entire unit; even a small amount can be a start. Manvir anticipates learning more through the Bitcoin mining board game, "HODL UP". As the episode wraps up, Manvir encourages listeners to trust their intuition.
