In this powerful conversation, Jesse Tevelow opens up about his personal journey into Bitcoin and the transformative impact it has had on his life, mental health, and worldview. Drawing from his book Life After Bitcoin, Jesse explores how Bitcoin reshapes not only individual lives but also relationships, society, and the global economy.We dive into the role of personality types in Bitcoin adoption, the spiritual and political awakening sparked by sound money, and the way tragedy can clarify Bitcoin’s deeper purpose. As a technologist, Jesse reflects on how politics intersects with Bitcoin and how Elon Musk, even through DOGE, helped shine a light on the broken money system for millions.Rather than chasing “the next big thing,” Jesse argues that Bitcoin is THE THING, the breakthrough discovery of our time. He frames Bitcoin as a force of nature that humanity is just beginning to understand (The 5th Element) Imagine being alive when fire was first harnessed. That’s the level of transformation we’re living through today, and Jesse emphasizes the once in a species opportunity of being here for this moment.Looking forward, Jesse shares thought-provoking insights on the intersection of Bitcoin and AI, the dangers of the fiat “slavery mindset,” and why Bitcoin is fundamentally different from other cryptocurrencies. He highlights the importance of treasury companies in accelerating adoption and unpacks the symbolic “green vs. orange” dichotomy as a reflection of shifting values in society.If you’re curious about the personal, political, and spiritual dimensions of Bitcoin, and what the world might look like life after Bitcoin, you won’t want to miss this episode.🔥 Big thanks to my sponsors for supporting The Bitcoin Nova 🔥🪙 MicroSeed – Titanium seed phrase backup for life👉 microseed.io💸 Code XSTACI = 5% OFF🛡 The Bitcoin Adviser – Multisig made simple.

Gary Gensler's “missing text messages,” Choke Point 2.0, and the road to Bitcoin ETFs.. coincidence or coordination? We unpack crypto winter’s timeline, then pivot to ACTION: Bitcoin stewardship, running nodes (fast/easy paths) and by the end, the Bitcoin Army proves that even while tackling heavy truths, we know how to keep it fun, connected, and full of energy.Topics:• SEC phone texts gap & “IT error” ruling• FTX, Silvergate/SVB, USDC de-peg timeline• TradFi incentives, paper Bitcoin & ETF game theory• What “stewardship” really means (run a node!)• SME adoption: fees, MoE, and first-mover advantage• Army challenges, polls, and practical on-ramps#Bitcoin #ParanoiaInitiative #RunANode #BitcoinArmy #Stewardship #CryptoWinter #ChokePoint2 #FTXCollapse #SEC #ETFs #TradFi #SelfCustody #CircularEconomy #Decentralization #BTC #BitcoinCommunity #Sovereignty #ProofOfReserves #Adoption #FreedomTech
The conversation loosens up because sometimes the best defense against engineered fear is humor, imagination, and community.#laugh #friends #community #bitcoin Expect: • Jokes, side tangents, and offbeat paranoia theories 🐺 • How memes can carry just as much power as “serious” narratives • Community banter that keeps the Bitcoin Army human • Why laughter and levity are part of staying resilientHosted by Staci (@XSTACI1) and Killer B (@MFKillerB)👉 Subscribe for weekly Bitcoin content: The Bitcoin Nova👉 Follow me on X: @XSTAC1
⚡ Always question the timing: Why now?In this first Paranoia Initiative Space, the Bitcoin Army dives into the unsettling overlap between Core’s chain-bloat narrative, the U.S. Department of Commerce pushing economic data onto the blockchain, and Powell quietly admitting the Fed is ditching the 2% inflation target.Are these just coincidences or coordinated moves? What shiny media circus kept us distracted while this was happening? 👀The conversation uncovers: • Distrust of Bitcoin Core and the timing of v30 • How centralization pressures (exchanges, custody) echo 1933 gold confiscation risks • Mining and P2P as non-KYC ways to stay sovereign • Why Bitcoin is “fuck you money” and must resist capture • Vigilance, intuition, and the role of the Bitcoin Army community (6,600 strong)Hosted by Staci (@XSTACI1) and Killer B (@MFKillerB), this is a passionate call to action: run your node (Knots, not Core), mine, stack sovereignly, and stay alert.🧡 Stay tuned for more Paranoia Initiative episodes where nothing is taken at face value.👉 Subscribe for weekly Bitcoin content: The Bitcoin Nova👉 Follow me on X: @XSTAC1
Bitcoin is on the edge of a new milestone, the Zettahash Era 🚀. Within the next year, the network’s hashrate will reach levels so massive they redefine how we measure power and security.In this episode of The Bitcoin Nova, I sit down with Neil Jacobs, co-founder of FOMO21 and longtime Bitcoin marketer, to explore what Zettahash means, why Bitcoin is the ultimate measuring stick, and how his journey from CPA to full-time Bitcoiner became a search for purpose.We talk about Bitcoin merch, the Core vs. Knots node debate (in plain English), AI and exponential growth, and the spiritual shift that happens when Bitcoin becomes more than just money.If you’ve ever wondered how to find meaning, conviction, and community in Bitcoin, this conversation is for you.Neil kept reminding me he’s not the most technical person, but I still couldn’t help pulling him into Core vs. Knots and node talk. Together we had fun making sense of the debate in a way that was approachable, curious, and even a little funny. If you’ve ever felt “late” to Bitcoin or unsure how deep you need to go technically, this one will calm your nervous system and refocus you on first principles.CONNECT WITH NEIL / FOMO21👕 FOMO21 shop: bold Bitcoin designs, soft/high-quality tees, adult + youth/toddler/onesies💬 Follow Neil on X for conference updates and marketing clipshttps://x.com/NeilJacobshttps://x.com/FOMO21Shophttps://fomo21.com/https://fomo21.com/pages/newsletter🔥 Big thanks to my sponsors for supporting The Bitcoin Nova 🔥🪙 MicroSeed – Titanium seed phrase backup for life👉 microseed.io💸 Code XSTACI = 5% OFF🛡 The Bitcoin Adviser – Multisig made simple.

What does it mean to be a true Bitcoin citizen? 🌍 In this episode of The Bitcoin Nova, Staci is joined by Freeborn Farmer and Sats Scholar to explore the soul of Bitcoin: decentralization, nodes, stewardship, and sovereignty.From the Core vs. Knots debate, to farming and nature analogies, to building a 1,000-year network for future generations. This is one of the most important Bitcoin conversations you’ll hear. ⚡Freeborn Farmer: https://x.com/freeborn_farmer?s=21 shares how his life as a farmer shaped his perspective on sovereignty. Building resilient systems; whether food systems or monetary systems requires decentralization, sustainability, and a long-term mindset. He sees Bitcoin as a natural extension of his philosophy, one that connects individual effort with communal strength.Sats Scholar: https://x.com/satsscholar?s=21brings the technical depth. He explains why nodes matter, why stewardship is required, and how monetary systems historically last ~1,000 years. If Bitcoin is to be that kind of civilization-level foundation, we have to think as stewards and citizens, not just as holders or spectators.🔗 Featured Partners 🔐 The Bitcoin Adviser – Multisig Custody 👉 content.thebitcoinadviser.com/the-bitcoin-nova👟 SatoShoes – Wear the Signal 👉 satoshoes.co.uk?ref=xstac1 ⚡ Value for Value – Tip Staci 👉 strike.me/xstac1 Chapters00:00 – Intro & Technical Hiccup 🎙️02:32 – The Soul of Bitcoin & Early Decentralization03:35 – Freeborn’s Background: Farming, Sovereignty & Bitcoin 🌱05:59 – Building for Future Generations 👶07:29 – Introducing Sats Scholar08:32 – The Role of Decentralization & Core Controversy09:53 – Core vs. Knots: The Growing Bitcoin Forest 🌳12:24 – Bitcoin Citizenship: Nodes, Mining, Peer-to-Peer13:23 – Stewardship & Building a 1,000-Year Network16:24 – Thinking in Centuries: Foundations for Future Societies18:21 – Symbiosis with Bitcoin: Proof of Work as Nature20:07 – Farming Parallels: Sustainability vs. Short-Term Gains21:35 – Hive Mind: Bees, Superorganisms & Bitcoin 🐝22:57 – Bitcoin as Nature’s Network24:27 – Future Governance Models for Bitcoin26:02 – Bitcoin & Politics: A New Layer of Governance28:20 – Becoming a True Bitcoin Citizen29:28 – Running a Node = Soldier on the Frontlines ⚔️31:22 – Switching from Core to Knots (Not Complicated!)33:06 – Using Nodes, Sparrow Wallet & Hardware Devices35:25 – How to Connect Sparrow & Hardware Wallets38:17 – Tutorials & Resources for Setting Up39:05 – Run Your Own Node – It’s Not Complicated 💻41:25 – Any Node is Better than No Node42:35 – Why Real Bitcoiners Run Nodes43:05 – Slippery Slope of Convenience & Governance44:53 – Farming, Sovereignty & Doing It the Hard Way46:08 – Right to Repair, Tractors & Decentralization 🚜48:52 – Subscription Society & Fiat Fragility51:49 – Bitcoin as Proof of Work for Life52:33 – Closing Thoughts & Part One Wrap-UpThis is part one of a powerful discussion.
