Join us today with Nik Bhatia, author of Layered Money and adjunct professor of finance at USC Marshall. Today we talk about Bhatia’s journey as a professor, his book, his 2021 Bitcoin experience, El Salvador, and the overall future of Bitcoin in our economy in relation to inflation. Bhatia’s story includes quitting being a bond trader to becoming a bitcoiner. He guides his students on how to participate in the fixed income industry, covering topics like CBDC’s - which Bhatia states, “only exist because of Bitcoin.” Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are the last grasp by central banks trying to compete with Bitcoin.

Join my conversation with Lixin Liu - CEO of Keystone and former Head of Hardware at Cobo. Lixin created the hardware wallet - Cobo Vault - allowing people to take possession of their Bitcoin. However, Cobo wanted to focus on the growth of their exchange system and get rid of their hardware wallet. Lixin bought out his side of the business and is now on a journey to grow his new hardware wallet - Keystone Wallet, with plans of making a BITCOIN-ONLY Wallet coming soon! Join us in talking about China’s Bitcoin regulations and why most people in China use exchanges rather than taking full possession of their coins. Lixin believes, unlike India, China will NOT ban Bitcoin. I had a great time talking to Lixin - a hardware genius - about his plans with Keystone and the growth of his hardware wallet. I hope you enjoyed the convo as much as I enjoyed recording it!

His interests in the philosophy of decentralization and individuality behind Bitcoin drove him to open Global Mesh Labs.

In this convo, we talked about the opportunity cost of spending Bitcoin, the new 2021 cycle, stacking, and future government and company policies. Hop on and join our conversation about the future of Bitcoin. I hope you enjoyed the convo as much as I enjoyed recording it!

I had a blast talking with Julian Liniger, CEO of Swiss application "Relai." As a former psychology major and MBA student, Julien worked as a banking consultant for many years. This made him realize how broken the financial system truly is, and that is why he "...came to bitcoin, a money that gives you freedom," says Julien. Being a former psychology student, he realized that for 90% of the population, Bitcoin is too hard to understand. Thats why he founded Relai, where they enable everyday people like you and me to buy Bitcoin. Ultimately, Relai hopes to be the world's most accessible Bitcoin investing app. I hope you enjoyed the convo as much as I enjoyed recording it!

I absolutely love having a miner on the pod but this isn't any miner this is @denverbitcoin who currently works for Upstream Data Inc. a company that helps energy producers turn flared gas into Bitcoin. This changes the game, Bitcoin now sets a floor price for excess energy. We think that this will reshape how human society organizes itself, in the future communities will be built around cheap energy sources no matter how remote those sources are, very exciting times ahead. Hope you enjoy the Pod as much as I enjoyed recording it.

The other day I commented on @danheld 's tweet about Venezuela and I was soon inundated by other Venezuelans commenting that the situation was different than what I was telling.

I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed recording it and talking to these awesome Bitcoiners.

CoboVault is the only hardware wallet that is completely air-gapped by design. It has no USB plug-ins, it is powered by battery and can only interact with data through an SD card. It physically cannot be connected to a computer which truly makes this one of the coldest hardware wallets around.
I talk to Lixin Liu; the creator of the device about what his design philosophy was and asked him some difficult questions from other hardware wallet manufacturers including NVK the designer of the COLDCARD wallet. Enjoy :)
