In this episode, I sit down with Angel in his hometown village in Bulgaria to explore his journey from city life in Sofia to building a life rooted in family, freedom, and Bitcoin. Angel shares how he and his father first got orange-pilled, their early mining experiments, and how he now uses solar energy to mine Bitcoin right from his backyard. We discuss why community matters, what it really means to be “early,” and how Bitcoin offers both financial sovereignty and practical freedom. This conversation is a powerful personal story and includes actionable insights into the future of money and energy.TimestampsIntro [00:00]Angel's Bitcoin Story [1:16]Questions to Answer about Bitcoin [8:16]Bear Market Challenges [17:09]Building a Bitcoin Network [20:40]The Problem with Money [24:02]Bitcoin Mining [28:44]Are You LATE to Bitcoin?

Josh Swift has a story that will blow your mind. After buying bitcoin in 2010 and forgetting about it, he found himself in a bad place. Mentally, physically, financially... he was struggling. Until he remembered that he put the bitcoin on a hard drive and left it in his mom's shed. Josh's story is a testament to bitcoin's power to literally save lives, and a teaching moment for others thinking about taking self custody. Josh is now rebuilding his life, working out of Strategy Hub, investing in bitcoin businesses and continuing his open source work as a software developer. Also in this episode is Joshua Groth. Joshua is an adventure athlete, commercial pilot, and Bitcoin educator. In 2019, driven by concerns over individual freedoms, he deepened his study of economics and history leading him back to Bitcoin. With a background in risk management and commercial aviation, Joshua founded NovaSapien and has applied his skills to developing best practices for using and securing bitcoin. Focusing on self-custody education and wallet recovery, it is Joshua’s dream to see NovaSapien help make Bitcoin accessible worldwide.Timestamps:Intro with Joshua Groth [00:00]Assessing Risk in Sport and Self Custody [4:20]Bitcoin OG RECOVERS Lost Coins [9:44]Porcfest and Finding Your People [15:08]Joshua's POV on the Story [20:02]Would you have sold?

Francesco Madonna was nearly the victim of a sophisticated Bitcoin scam. That close call changed everything.

In this powerful episode, he shares how that experience led him to build BitVault—a revolutionary Bitcoin wallet that uses time-locked multi-sig and open-source safeguards to stop both hackers and physical attackers in their tracks.

We dive into:

• The scam that nearly cost Francesco his Bitcoin (and maybe more)

• How BitVault works to protect your Bitcoin with time as a shield

• Why phishing and AI-driven hacks are the biggest threat to self-custody

• How Francesco's military background shaped his approach to Bitcoin security

• The future of custody, open-source tools, and the BitVault beta release

If you're curious about how time locking bitcoin transforms self-custody, this episode is a must-watch.
