Why do intelligent people reject Bitcoin without ever truly examining it?

In this episode of To The Moon with the Lunas, Anthony and Danielle sit down with Brett Hansen (Bcuz), author of The Belief Machine and Bitcoin, Not Crypto, to explore the psychology behind our beliefs, why we defend ideas we've never questioned, and how Bitcoin can challenge everything we thought we knew about money.

Brett shares his journey from structural engineering to discovering Bitcoin, and how his curiosity about human behavior led him to write The Belief Machine.

We dive into why our beliefs are often inherited through family, culture, education, and society and why changing your mind can feel so uncomfortable.

But this conversation goes much deeper than Bitcoin.

Brett explains why Bitcoin is a mirror, not a forge. It doesn't automatically make you disciplined, patient, or responsible. Instead, it reveals who you already are when real consequences are involved.

We also discuss whether Bitcoiners can fall into the same tribal thinking they criticize, why critical thinking matters more than ever, and how to develop conviction without needing everyone around you to agree.

Plus, Brett introduces Fugum, his brand built around protecting your energy, practicing the pause, and choosing clarity over reaction.

In this episode:

• Why intelligent people reject Bitcoin
• The psychology behind The Belief Machine
• Inherited beliefs and why we defend them
• Bitcoin as a mirror for personal responsibility
• Why Bitcoiners aren't immune to tribal thinking
• Conviction without consensus
• The difference between knowing facts and understanding something
• Why being present matters more than chasing success
• The story behind Fugum
• Brett's advice for anyone beginning their Bitcoin journey

One of our favorite takeaways from Brett:

"Don't let somebody else's convictions stand for your own."

What happens to Bitcoin when the financial system can no longer keep kicking the can down the road?

In this episode of To The Moon with the Lunas, Anthony and Danielle sit down with technologist, educator, Jesus follower, and Bitcoiner Mister Lee for a conversation about Bitcoin, money, faith, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, U.S. debt, and what may be coming next.

Mister Lee shares his journey from technology and crypto into Bitcoin and how understanding Bitcoin completely changed the way he viewed money.

We dive into why he believes this Bitcoin cycle looks different, the growing influence of ETFs and Wall Street, self-custody, spending Bitcoin, Lightning, CBDCs, and financial sovereignty.

We also explore the connection between Bitcoin and Christian faith, including biblical principles around honest money, weights and measures, truth, and monetary debasement.

Then we turn to the bigger picture: The Fourth Turning, $40 trillion in U.S. debt, Japan, yield curve control, Treasury buybacks, the Federal Reserve, gold, and why Bitcoin may be reacting to monetary debasement.

In this episode:
• Why this Bitcoin cycle may be different
• Wall Street, ETFs & Bitcoin
• Self-custody, Lightning & spending Bitcoin
• CBDCs & financial sovereignty
• Bitcoin, Christianity & honest money

What if Gen Z stopped gambling on the next big thing and started building for the next 10 years?

In this episode of To The Moon with the Lunas, Danielle and Anthony sit down with Logan, a 24-year-old PE teacher, coach, fitness enthusiast, and Bitcoiner known on X as Bitcoin Teacher.

Logan shares how being surrounded by successful people at a young age completely changed the way he thought about money, investing, health, and his future.

After initially buying Bitcoin without fully understanding it, his journey through stocks, crypto, sports betting, inflation, and financial education eventually led him toward a much deeper conviction in Bitcoin.

We talk about why so many young people are caught up in sports betting and instant gratification, what COVID and stimulus checks taught Logan about money, and why he believes financial literacy has to come before blindly telling someone to buy Bitcoin.

But this conversation goes far beyond Bitcoin.

Logan opens up about going from roughly 250 pounds to 170 pounds, learning the importance of patience and long-term thinking through fitness, becoming a PE teacher and coach, his concerns about the health of today's kids, and how his Christian faith changed the way he thinks about money and responsibility.

We also get into living at home at 24, avoiding an $800/month car payment, building an emergency fund, investing early, starting a business, and Logan's ultimate goal of building a life that gives him more time with his future family.

This is a conversation about Bitcoin, Gen Z, money, health, faith, discipline, and thinking long term.

If you're in your 20s or wish you could go back and give your 20-year-old self some financial advice this episode is for you.

What if you stopped measuring your life in dollars and started measuring it in Bitcoin?

In this episode of To The Moon with the Lunas, Danielle and Anthony sit down with software engineer and Bitcoin builder Tosin Ogunjobi, creator of Compass Bitcoin and Odyssey, to explore an entirely different way of thinking about money, spending, saving, and your future.

Tosin discovered Bitcoin while in college after initially experimenting with Forex and trading. What began as curiosity eventually became conviction and a mission to build Bitcoin tools that make financial education more practical and engaging.

Tosin gives us a live walkthrough of Compass, an app designed to help you see your net worth, spending, income, and Bitcoin purchases through a Bitcoin standard.

We get into why a $15 purchase today may represent a very different amount of Bitcoin than the same $15 purchase years ago, how thinking in sats can change your spending habits, delayed gratification, budgeting as a couple, dollar-cost averaging, and why Tosin believes Bitcoin can give younger generations hope for their financial future.

We also take a look at Odyssey, Tosin's gamified Bitcoin education app designed to make learning Bitcoin fun and approachable.

In this episode:

• Tosin's journey from Forex trading to Bitcoin
• Why Gen Z needs Bitcoin
• Building Bitcoin tools as a software engineer
• What is Compass Bitcoin?
• Pricing your spending in sats
• The real opportunity cost of everyday purchases
• Budgeting on a Bitcoin standard
• Tracking your Bitcoin cost basis
• Dollar-cost averaging
• Spending Bitcoin vs. HODLing
• Making Bitcoin education fun with Odyssey
• Tosin's advice for new Bitcoiners

What happens when you stop just talking about Bitcoin adoption and actually start building it?

Luke and Brooke are parents of seven, entrepreneurs, homeschoolers, and the creators behind BV Bitcoin in Buena Vista, Colorado. They’re taking a completely different approach to Bitcoin adoption: turning it into a real-world treasure hunt.

Instead of overwhelming newcomers with mining, nodes, monetary theory, and technical jargon, they give people Bitcoin, send them into local businesses to spend it, and use games to teach concepts like inflation, scarcity, sound money, wallets, and seed phrases along the way.

And it’s working!

In just eight months, Luke and Brooke have onboarded roughly 25 local businesses and estimate that 60–70 people have been introduced to Bitcoin through their treasure hunts. Some businesses are now seeing meaningful Bitcoin sales, and Bitcoin is beginning to circulate from one person and business to another throughout their community.

We talk about why Bitcoin needs to be USED as money, their philosophy of “HODL and Spend,” orange-pilling without overwhelming people, teaching kids about Bitcoin and money, faith, family, incentives, local businesses, and their vision of helping other communities build their own circular economies.

This episode is a reminder that Bitcoin adoption doesn't have to start with governments or giant corporations.

It can start with you, your family, your local coffee shop and one transaction at a time.

Is Bitcoin being captured — and if so, who actually controls it?

In this episode of To The Moon with the Lunas, we sit down with Matthew Kratter of Bitcoin University and BTC Gus for a deep and controversial conversation about one of the biggest debates happening inside Bitcoin.

Matthew breaks down BIP 110, the battle between Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots, OP_RETURN, node decentralization, mining pools, self-custody, and why he believes Bitcoin has reached a critical turning point.

We also get into Michael Saylor and “Big Bitcoin,” the role of Bitcoin Core maintainers, lessons from the Blocksize War, the failure of BIP 110, and the proposed Bitcoin Blake hard fork.

Matthew makes the provocative argument that Bitcoin as we know it has become captured while explaining why he believes Bitcoin itself can still live on.

We discuss:

• What BIP 110 actually was
• Bitcoin Core vs. Bitcoin Knots
• Who controls Bitcoin Core?
• Why running your own node matters
• Mining pool centralization
• Michael Saylor and institutional Bitcoin
• What happened to BIP 110
• The lessons of the Blocksize War
• Self-custody during a Bitcoin fork
• Replay attacks
• Bitcoin Blake and Blake2b
• Whether Bitcoin can still remain censorship-resistant
• What everyday Bitcoiners should do next
