Bitcoiners aren’t necessarily known to be witty or charismatic, but my next guest Gary Mahmoud is! An actor who first bought bitcoin in 2013, Gary is a libertarian-inclined Bitcoin proponent who has spent the better part of a decade figuring out the best way to self-custody bitcoin.

When not exploring the world of Bitcoin, Gary is a working actor often playing doctors and lawyers on various New York based TV procedurals or playing silly dad types on a variety of commercials. Before pursuing a career in the entertainment business, Gary spent six years working in Congress… not too different you could say.

I’ve only known Gary a short time, but he’s the kind of guy I could chat to for hours and on this episode we touched :

• Bitcoin this cycle

• Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset

• Bitcoin v.s crypto

• Political philosophies and Bitcoin

• Self-custody

• Acting

• Much more!

To all my laser-eyed friends in Bitcoin, it may be time to take off the laser eyes as we dance around $90k.

In this episode with leading on-chain analyst James Check, otherwise known as Checkmate of Checkonchain, a Bitcoin person trainer if you will, tailored for investors and finance professionals, to provide market analysis, in-depth educational content and data-driven insights to cut through the noise and respond to market moves with confidence.

I always love chatting with Checkmate about all things Bitcoin and this episode will not disappoint. From recent price and what's driving it to geopolitical shifts post the US election, we covered a range of topics that I think you'll find most pertinent and interesting. Well, that's my view!

Today's episode is about unpacking what one of the world's largest asset managers has to say about Bitcoin.

A $5 trillion juggernaut, Fidelity has been one of the early institutional movers when it comes to Bitcoin and their explanation of why "Bitcoin first" is well worth understanding.

Ultimately, Bitcoin doesn't care what Fidelity thinks, but for many people, they do care what a highly influential voice in the institutional world thinks.

Here's their thesis outlined in the podcast - https://www.fidelitydigitalassets.com/sites/default/files/documents/1012662.3.0%20Bitcoin%20First%20Revisited_Final.pdf

I'm back baby after a little hiatus! Awesome to get behind the mic and share my thoughts around BlackRock's Bitcoin thesis - https://www.blackrock.com/us/financial-professionals/insights/bitcoin-unique-diversifier.

There are some interesting inclusions and exclusions to their thesis, as well as the way BlackRock views the role of the asset. Stick around to the end to find out how the plebs differ from BlackRock.

In this episode, I chatted with the man formerly known as Bitcoin Gandalf on Twitter, or Daniel Sempere Pico as he is known these days.

Daniel is a former real estate man that transitioned into the the digital economy in 2020 and since then, has reinvented himself as a social media marketing guru with a special expertise in the Bitcoin industry.

I was fascinated by Daniel's journey and thoughts on a range of topics, from Bitcoin cycles to live as a parent to moving around and going where you are treated best. It was certainly one of my favourite conversations yet and I'm sure you'll love it too!

In this episode, I chatted with an unsung Bitcoiner from Far North Queensland, a real self-custody guru by the name of Codey Martin.

Codey is an ex-military man and Brazilian Jiu-Jitusu expert who is also the first mentor to join the Bitcoin Mentor Australia team. He’s got a cracking story as to how he got into Bitcoin and in this discussion, shares his thoughts on self-sovereignty and best practices, amongst other things.

There’s a deep connection between martial arts and Bitcoin if you look hard enough – proof-of-work embodies both, so we spoke a fair bit about that too, which I love.
