Bitcoin Journeys is dedicated to exploring the diverse journeys and reasons people from various backgrounds turn to Bitcoin.
Each episode of the podcast is a focused 30–60-minute conversation that centers around two main questions: What brought you to Bitcoin, and why do you invest in it?
Through this, I aim to uncover personal narratives that provide unique perspectives and bring to light how transformational of a technology Bitcoin is.
