Welcome to The Bitcoin For Families Show, where every guest is your new Bitcoin BFF! Join us as we explore how Bitcoin is transforming family lives, from education and health to daily dynamics—one family at a time.

In this episode, host Scott Sibley chats with Umi Miyahara (@MiyaharaUmi), a mother of two young kids (ages 3 and 7) and five cats, living in Brooklyn, NYC. Umi shares her journey raising a bilingual Bitcoin family, blending Japanese and English heritage while navigating big-city parenting challenges and joys. From her endurance athlete background and meeting her husband during a grueling ocean relay swim to instilling independence in her kids through summer trips to Japan, Umi offers relatable insights on bilingual parenting and family rituals. As Expansion and Strategic Partnerships lead at Breez, she discusses how Bitcoin family dynamics intersect with her work in Lightning payments, emphasizing value transfer for future generations without overhyping bitcoin.

Highlights include fun icebreakers like Umi's unicycle skills from Japanese school traditions, the pros and cons of NYC family life versus suburban isolation, and tips for maintaining bilingualism amid English dominance. Whether you're into bitcoin family stories or raising bilingual kids in New York, this conversation reveals how Bitcoin empowers flexible, present parenting.
