I am joined by Alex Martynov, a leadership coach based in Prague originally from Ukraine. Alex founded the first website in Ukraine dedicated to Austrian economics and libertarianism and he also has an interest in Bitcoin and Freedom technology.

We discuss the big questions of purpose, self-actualisation, and meaning making as well as explore the nature of liberty, and what is meant by the idea of the good life.

We also talk about how psychology can be applied not only to individuals but to states and societies and the complex relationship people may have with the idea of freedom.

But really for me this is a moment with a friend and incredible person and I do hope you enjoy this conversation.

I talk with Sovereign Origin about his concept FITS (Financially Independent, Time Sovereign) a new alternative to the traditional FIRE movement (Financially Independent, Retire Early).

While both approaches aim to escape the “rat race,” FITS redefines the pursuit of financial independence through the lens of Bitcoin, focusing on sovereignty over one’s time with a unique perspective towards wealth, work, and life.

We had a great talk about the FITS concept, exploring some of the technical aspects, as well as some of the challenges inherent in the traditional FIRE approach which is built on the premise of the ongoing growth of the stock market and ultimately is not truely independent because the state can always come and turn off or confiscate your retirement fund – Something they can’t do with Bitcoin.

Robert Warren is the author of The Bitcoin Miner's Almanac: Where Code Meets Business and Everything in Between, published 2024.

We discuss the book, which gives an excellent overview of what Bitcoin mining is and the operational considerations, as well as fascinating case studies of the different business models and types of mining operations.

Alongside this we discuss energy and the electrical grid more broadly as well as how to communicate Bitcoin mining and the importance of maintaining the grid and producing energy for human flourishing.
