Privacy in Bitcoin isn't optional anymore, it's essential for staying free.We are barreling toward a full-blown digital panopticon. Governments are printing fiat into oblivion, surveillance is everywhere, and with regulations tightening, blockchain analytics getting smarter, and things like the Travel Rule forcing data sharing, your on-chain activity is more traceable than ever. Non-KYC Bitcoin changes everything here. Exchanges tie you to the fiat system with heavy KYC, custody risks, and direct lines for governments to reach in. But mining your own sats? That's generating Bitcoin natively, at cost, with fixed energy so volatility doesn't wreck you—and routing it straight from pools to your wallet with minimal footprint. No SSN, no deep personal data, just enough for basic contact. Kent explains how he thinks about mining and why it isn't about competing with other miners. Mining the top of the Bitcoin stack, the decentralized money printer, competing with exchanges for how real people enter Bitcoin without handing over control. We talk the end of the easy "buy phase," why earning Bitcoin will matter more, the biological drive to actually save for your family and future generations, and why privacy beats power right now as the clash with states ramps up.Plus, some raw stories—like the sophisticated scam that cost him big, his love for wilderness, and solid advice for young builders jumping in.If the tightening grip on privacy has you feeling uneasy, or you're looking for ways to build real sovereignty, this conversation is for you.

Money is broken — and most people can feel it, even if they can’t explain it.

Prices keep rising. Savings buy less. Work feels harder just to stay in the same place. Yet we’re told the system is “fine.”

In this episode, we break down what money actually is, why every fiat currency eventually fails, and why Bitcoin exists in the first place — without hype, charts, or price predictions.

This is a plain-English introduction to Bitcoin forpeople who are skeptical, curious, or feel like something about the financial system doesn’t add up.

We cover:

Bitcoin isn’t about trading or speculation. It’s about preservingtime, energy, and purchasing power in a world where money no longer works the way it should.

If you’ve ever asked:

“What is Bitcoin, really?” —or— “Why does money feel broken?” This episode is for you.

The next two layers of the internet—Bitcoin as native money + Nostr as decentralized social identity—are already being built... and most people have no idea what's happening.

In this conversation from the Bansko Nomad Fest in Bulgaria, I sit down with Aleksandar Svetski—Bitcoin OG, author of The Bushido of Bitcoin, and founder of Satlantis (the Bitcoin-native super app for travel, events, and sovereign discovery).

Aleks lays out a clear path for anyone passionate about the mission but not sure where to start. If you're a Bitcoiner, nomad, or builder watching from the sidelines—this is your wake-up call.

At BTC Balkans 2025 in Sofia, Bulgaria, I spoke with 4 Bitcoin builders on what actually drives adoption.In this episode, we explore a foundational Bitcoin question:Can Bitcoin really be a store of value if it isn’t used as a medium of exchange?Across these short conversations, you'll hear insights from working on Bitcoin payments, to living on a Bitcoin standard and navigating the broken world of fiat finance. We dig into why grassroots adoption matters, how language shapes understanding, and why freedom in Bitcoin comes from use, not abstraction.Topics include: • Medium of exchange vs store of value • Bitcoin vs fiat payment systems • Adoption, optimism, and real-world use • Why freedom isn’t stored — it flows Timestamps:Intro to the Conference [00:00]Musqet CEO David Parkinson [0:29]Taylan on Turkey Adoption and Gen Z [9:06]Tony on Slovenia Bitcoin AdoptionBen de Waal on Living on a Bitcoin Standard [20:03]CONNECTBTC Balkans English Stage: BTC Balkans 2025 - EnglishMusqet on X: https://x.com/Musqet_BitcoinTony on X: https://x.com/ToniCeponBen de Waal on X: https://x.com/Ben_deWaalTaylan on X: https://x.com/taylanbtcKyle on X: https://x.com/thekylehuberKyle's Website: https://kylehuber.comKyle on Nostr: [email protected] the POD!10% back in sats at Born to Be Bree Online Store: https://oshi.link/C2mHb0Buy the Daylight Co DC-1: https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/WEAR...

After we learn about bitcoin- we listen to enough podcasts and read enough books- the question becomes, "How can I do more to allocate my time and energy into this new system?" In this talk I share a few lessons and themes I've found in my own quest to answer this question.

The second half of the talk focuses on Bulgaria, where I am making a documentary about one of the strongest grassroots Bitcoin communities in the world. Their approach to education, circular economies, DIY building, and real-world problem solving is a model for what Bitcoin adoption can look like everywhere.

A special shout out to Mr. and Mrs. Reverend HODL for running a great show.

Recommend to watch this episode, it is highly visual.

Other topics:

• How the fiat system suppresses creativity, and Bitcoin reawakens it

• Why people naturally shift from hodling → to building

• Permissionless work as the foundation for Bitcoin builders

• Why Bulgaria is leading Eastern European Bitcoin adoption

• Real examples of DIY builders: Lightning ATMs, kids’ books, meetups, and off-grid solar mining

If you’ve been feeling the pull to contribute but haven’t taken the first step, this talk is the roadmap that worked for me.

Bitcoin needs its builders. And creativity is the bridge that gets you there.

In this episode, Bitcoin mining veteran Bob Burnett breaks down one of the most important — and least understood — forces shaping our future: the collision of AI, energy, and Bitcoin.We explore how the rapid rise of artificial intelligence is reshaping global labor, impacting energy markets, and accelerating a new era of digital power — and why Bitcoin mining sits at the center of it all.Bob also reveals why most “miners” today aren’t actually miners, the hidden centralization risks inside mining pools, why block space will become one of the world’s rarest commodities, and how nation-states and major banks will inevitably fight to control it.⏱️ Topics We Cover • Why AI will trigger the biggest energy shift in human history • How Bitcoin mining becomes a strategic national asset • The myth of decentralization inside today’s mining pools • Why block space will be more valuable than Bitcoin itself • How individuals can actually build on Bitcoin (not just HODL) • The coming job displacement wave — and how to survive it • Why Bitcoin must be money for the next 1,000 years • The civic duty of Bitcoin: nodes, mining, spending, buildingTimestamps:Intro [00:00]How is Bitcoin Mining changing?

In this episode, I sit down with Tony from The Bitcoin Way to explore what it actually means to live on a Bitcoin standard — not as a theory, but in real life.

Tony shares the story of waking up in Lebanon to find that the banks had been shut down and citizens’ savings were effectively confiscated overnight. It didn’t make global headlines, and most of the world still doesn’t know it happene — but it’s a warning. If it can happen there, it can happen anywhere.

We discuss: • Why hyperinflation is already here, and most people don’t realize it • Why self-custody is not optional if you want to truly own Bitcoin • The difference between saving in Bitcoin vs. investing in assets that decay • How to evaluate hardware wallets & secure your Bitcoin properly • What it means to actually live on a Bitcoin standard today • Why Bitcoin is not just an investment — it’s a way of life • How to build sovereignty, privacy, and geographic optionality for your future

This conversation goes beyond price targets and hype. It’s about preserving your time, your freedom, and your ability to live a meaningful life.

If you're on the path toward sovereignty — this episode is for you.
