In this episode, I sit down with Jesse Myers, a fascinating mind with a rich background in trad fi and Bitcoin.

We start by diving into his early memories of money and the formative influences that shaped his understanding of value.

Jesse unpacks how Bitcoin could radically impact future generations and reshape global wealth distribution, drawing powerful analogies from history. We also discuss the surprising ways the so-called “Yuppie Elite” are beginning to warm up to Bitcoin and what that means for broader adoption.

Jesse has a compelling take on the future of FIAT, and that it might take longer than 'maxis' think for FIAT to collapse.

Later in the episode, we talk about his role in Smarter Web Company. We also touch on how Bitcoin treasury companies are navigating volatility, and why their strategies matter more than ever.

I loved our chat and could have carried on talking to Jesse for at least another hour - I hope you enjoye it as much as I did.

In this episode, I speak with Claire Prince of Women of Bitcoin about how Bitcoin has transformed her family’s life. We dive into her journey—from saving and investing, to homeschooling, navigating regulations in France, and raising kids with a deep understanding of financial sovereignty.

Claire shares how Bitcoin has reshaped their approach to education, travel, health, and self-sovereignty. We also explore its power to empower women, spark critical thinking, and inspire a more intentional lifestyle. Claire’s story is a powerful example of how Bitcoin is much more than money—it’s a way of life.

In this episode, I sit down with Nav to dive deep into his journey with Bitcoin—how it began, how it evolved, and how it continues to shape his worldview. We start by talking about his upbringing and early influences around money, work ethic, and responsibility, which laid the groundwork for his later interest in economics.

Nav shares how his study of economic principles led him to discover Bitcoin and how it completely shifted his perspective on value and finance. What makes Nav’s story unique is how he connects Bitcoin not just to economics, but also to spirituality—particularly the teachings of Sikhism. We explore powerful parallels between decentralisation, sovereignty, and the historical role of gold in Sikh history, and how those ideas naturally align with Bitcoin.

Jez (aka Hashley Giles) shares his journey from early financial memories to becoming a passionate advocate for Bitcoin. The conversation begins with his background and first encounters with money, laying the foundation for his entrepreneurial path and transition into sales. As the episode unfolds, he delves into his discovery of Bitcoin, exploring its intrinsic value, transformative potential in global finance, and its importance for the next generation.

Jez discusses the critical role that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play in driving Bitcoin adoption, particularly through merchant onboarding. The conversation then shifts to forward-looking topics such as Bitcoin treasury strategies, proof of reserves, and the growing need for trust in the ecosystem. Throughout, he reflects on how his beliefs about Bitcoin have evolved and hints at exciting things going on at Bitcoin Collective.

No guest this time - just a relatively short solo pod where I talk about the emotions and psychology of investing, along with tips and techniques you might consider to help recognise when you might be at risk of making poor investment decisions.

Obviously like all by podcasts this is not financial advice, but hopefully you might find some of the ideas interesting to help you ride the highs and lows of investing...especially in Treasury Companies if that's your thing!!

In a bit of a rush today to get this out so I'm cutting down the blurb (which nobody probably reads anyway!) Really enjoyed this chat with Henry - yet again feels like I'm chatting with an old friend when in reality we've never met before, only shared emails and X posts!

Can't wait for Henry to OPEN the Bitcoin Conference in Bury St Edmunds on 20 September then a week later I'm going to his Feast - I get to meet him face to face twice in 8 days!

Hope you enjoy the podcast / video.

I just got back from BTC Prague - what a trip! My first ever conference and it's fair to say it was genuinely life changing.

On the flight home I captured my thoughts - reflecting on my experiences there and challenging some of my thoughts about Bitcoin and the Bitcoin 'space'.

If that doesn't sound your thing then normal service will be resumed next week, but otherwise I hope you enjoy it.

In this episode, I sit down with Robin Thatcher to explore his unique journey into the world of finance, accountancy, and...dare I say it... cryptocurrency.

We start by looking back at Robin’s early memories and attitudes toward money, and how key influences and role models helped shape his financial mindset.

Robin shares how he made the transition 'crypto' accountancy - with a particular focus on Bitcoin - and offers insights into how the landscape of accountancy is shifting to accommodate this new asset class. He also shares his views on current and future HMRC treatment.

The conversation turns toward the potential role of Bitcoin in addressing economic crises, concerns about the future of state pensions, and the risks posed by government intervention. We explore the barriers to wider Bitcoin adoption, the uncertain future of SIPPs and taxation, and finish by evaluating Bitcoin treasuries and discussing the future of the UK Bitcoin community.
