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.

In this episode of the Bitcoin Journeys Podcast, I am joined by Knut Svanholm, a former sea captain turned Bitcoin author and philosopher. Knut's books, including "Bitcoin: Sovereignty Through Mathematics" and "Bitcoin: Everything Divided by 21 Million," explore the profound implications of Bitcoin on freedom, economics, and society. With a background in sailing the world's oceans and a rebellious spirit against fiat systems, Knut brings unique insights into how Bitcoin redefines money and human collaboration.
