Bitcoin's hash rate continues to hit all-time highs, and Ordinals are bringing in a new wave of adoption. Today's guest is a committed Bitcoiner pseudonymously known as "Curt Shilling" on Twitter.

NTFs on the Bitcoin blockchain is on the rise. Millions of dollars worth of crypto pour into Turkey for aid relief after devastating earthquakes. The FTX collapse continues to unfold, as we await Sam Bankman Fried's trial, scheduled for October 2023. All the while, the number of bitcoin blocks left until the next halving continues to decrease approximately every 10 minutes.

On today's episode, we speak to American Math Teacher Jason Maier. Jason has come to the realization there is a gap in Bitcoin education from the perspective of a liberal, a progressive, or a leftist-minded person. Jason is currently working on a book entitled "A Progressive's Case For Bitcoin," with a foreword written by Peter McCormack. Jason is extremely eloquent and offers a different perspective from the usual Bitcoin anarchist.

Tick-tock, next block. Bitcoin continues on as it was intended, while many cryptocurrency companies and centralized alternatives fail. Many eyes are watching the fallout of FTX Exchange, and it's founder Sam Bankman-Fried (or "Scam Bankrupt Fraud" as many in the community are referring to him as).

We are pleased to introduce Ontario's own Tomer Strolight (writer for Bitcoin Magazine and seen on "What Bitcoin Did" podcast) to our listeners. Tomer is a well-respected Bitcoin educator whose work extends from contemporary Bitcoin thought, to imaginative future predictions on how Bitcoin can reshape the world.

Much of the Bitcoin & crypto discussion occurs over Twitter. So it is of no surprise that all eyes are on Elon Musk's recent takeover. He is laying off employees, getting rid of ads, and considering  monthly subscriptions. Many people welcome the idea, others are furious at the thought of having to pay for what has always been a free service. 

Today we host Adam O'Brien of Canada's own (The) Bitcoin Well. The Bitcoin Well is the world's first publicly traded Bitcoin ATM company. They have recently launched a convenient online exchange to compliment their original Bitcoin ATM business. What separates The Bitcoin Well from many other exchanges, is that they maintain the Bitcoin ideal of self-custody, and take great pride in showing their customers how to properly take custody of their own coins.
