🎯 Episode Thesis:

You don’t need permission to change the world.

Aaron Murphy, known as Murph’s Life, is building Bitcoin Mountain in El Salvador β€” a real Bitcoin citadel.

In this episode of BitCorner, we explore how Bitcoin is transforming villages through self-sovereignty, circular economies, and humanitarian impact.

Bitcoin adoption is happening on the ground β€” this is what it looks like.

πŸŽ™οΈ About the Episode:

We sit down with Aaron Murphy during the Barcelona Bitcoin Conference to talk about the vision and reality behind Bitcoin Mountain, his viral journey to El Salvador after a chance encounter with Bukele, and why he’s betting on local communities and Bitcoin β€” not aid or empty promises β€” to create real transformation.

We talk about:

πŸ”Έ Why Murph moved to El Salvador and bought land

πŸ”Έ Building a circular Bitcoin economy in Los Naranjos

πŸ”Έ Helping families escape poverty with Bitcoin-based income

πŸ”Έ Creating homes, farming, and node infrastructure

πŸ”Έ Challenges of construction, security, and adoption

πŸ”Έ Why NGOs often fail, and why Bitcoin works

πŸ”Έ What’s next for Bitcoin Mountain and how to help

This episode is all about action.

No hype. No speculation. Just real-world Bitcoin impact.
