2-Bit Idiots

Thanks Idiots It's been...emotional. Onwards. #Bitcoin

This is the big one! Today, we put some Bitcoin (1,432,047 Satoshis to be precise) in the hands of kids. It’s theirs, they own it, and we don’t have any say in how they save it or spend it. I’ll not spoil the results here, but I do have some thankyous to give. The Artists and their Parents Bowdog Jr; Charlotte; Jasper; Evie; Harriet; Niels; Regan; India; Luna; Archer; Sabine; Frankie; Sena; Bellemy; Claudia; Samuel; and, Ava. The Judges Our kids Those who kindly donated. With a special mention to: Scott, Mallory and Charlotte from www.shamory.com HaggisHodl and AnAverageSalmon whose generosity kicked this off The Inspiration Pixel and Paul To see the winning entries, go to: https://bitcoin-first.com/kids-art-competition/

We’ve always wanted to do an “Orange Pill Live” episode, to test our abilities in answering the questions of a precoiner and to see if (during the course of a podcast) we could convince someone to buy themselves their first Bitcoin. That was the intention of this episode, but in the time it’s taken us to schedule the pod with Bernie, he’d already got himself off zero! However, Bernie is Brendo’s mate, so we thought we’d go ahead with the call and press record anyway, and only publish it if we thought it might help someone out there. It turns out, Bernie has gone from zero to well down the road of hero in 2 short months, but he gave us a great perspective on the issues and questions a new Bitcoiner has right now. We discuss: Bulked-up Brendo “Crypto” misconceptions What made Bernie take the first step into Bitcoin The challenge of buying a home and deposit requirements University (HECS) debt indexation Lack of government support, lies about inflation, stimulus cheques, UBI and something having changed Trying to outrun inflation Savings accounts, stocks, risk taking and having a go What Bernie did practically when he decided to buy some Bitcoin Hot and Cold wallets Understanding a non-physical asset Personal responsibility, 2FA and key storage Steel Seedplates Speaking in Bitcoin or Sats The gradually then suddenly event horizon Volatility, risk taking and bag pumping Rewards programmes Why does Bitcoin crash and is it a buying opportunity Murrurundi golf Pod Shout-outs HardBlock https://www.hardblock.com.au/join/hats The Bitcoin Adviser (Peter Dunworth) *** Get your first 3 months free with The Bitcoin Adviser when you use referral code "SECURE" at www.thebitcoinadviser.com/contact Bitcoin Bush Bash http://bitcoinbushbash.info/ Contact Us www.2bitidiots.com

We, completely unfairly invited Pete back on under false pretences and then hit him with “his nemesis waiting in the green room”. We wanted to see if we could shake his conviction or rattle his composure. Listen to find out if we could. Settle in with a coffee. This is long one. We discuss: Exponential rise of Bitcoin and fall of Fiat Positioning and wealth preservation The distinction between risk and volatility Resistance to change The opportunity of buying in a SMSF The importance of mobile Kids with Bitcoin wallets Never needing a bank account Blackrock, ETF’s and what does Larry Fink Liquidity drain Client’s will demand Bitcoin exposure from their financial adviser Banking restrictions Why does the bull run ever stop and the point of no return Taking profit, a risk on behaviour What happens when AI and the machines start draining liquidity Why ransomware only ever wants Bitcoin Uber ELI5 and ELI2 The Bitcoin Adviser Starved of original thought Unit bias Moving towards self-actualisation Lambos and Yachts Holy Moly and It’s a Knockout An App Store for Keys Pod Shout-outs https://twitter.com/MichaelDunwort1 https://twitter.com/wavlake https://twitter.com/w_s_bitcoin https://twitter.com/luke_broyles https://twitter.com/BTCSchellingPt https://twitter.com/Meta_Trav https://twitter.com/AndyBTCAdviser https://twitter.com/JakeBTCAdviser https://twitter.com/Rob1Ham *** Get your first 3 months free with The Bitcoin Adviser when you use referral code "SECURE" at www.thebitcoinadviser.com/contact Contact Us www.2bitidiots.com

Jesse (@Jessenostr) is a cafe owner (Rise Mofo in Toukley) and former pastor based on the Central Coast in NSW, Australia. This one was an absolute pleasure to do.

Jeremy Majid is the CEO of the Australian Bitcoin Industry Body www.bitcoinindustrybody.org.au whose mission statement is: “To serve as a voice for the Australian Bitcoin Industry. We welcome open and constructive dialogue with Government and Media and are available to assist with any and all Bitcoin related matters.” There will be sceptics amongst you (I’m one of them), but not about the intentions of ABIB, more the willingness of government to engage in an honest and sincere dialogue. In this one we discuss the problem and how ABIB can be part of the solution.

If you don’t know what they are, whatever you do, don’t look it up or listen to this podcast. There is no one that can segue from high voltage power transmission to upper decker’s and back quite like Daz Bea. Yes, what’s happening in our world right now is damn serious, but we all need to find the fun in it too and that’s why we keep asking Daz onto the pod. He brings a wealth of knowledge around electricity, net zero targets, issues and opportunities in Australia and beyond, is a founding member of Looking Glass Education, is a proud family man and Queenslander, sings at the weekend and writes books in his ‘spare’ time. I’m tired just reading that!

www.breez.technology has been around for a while, and to be honest I didn’t know much about it, so when Ivan reached out to have a chat it seemed like as good a time as any to start learning. Located in Sofia, Bulgaria, Ivan (@Nackoo2000) is the Chief of Staff (Chief of Stuff) and first non-developer to work for Breez. He’s my favourite type of bitcoiner...the ones that are here for the mission first, knowing the money will take care of itself. We discuss: Primal on Nostr (desktop). 100x improvement Being orange-pilled by your lady Devoting a holiday to prove her wrong We’re all on the same team. Love not money Bitcoiners with conviction are those who first tried to prove it a scam Bitcoin striking an intense emotional button The ultimate measuring stick is unit of energy The challenge of explaining Bitcoin to loved ones Not asking for permission.

Some would call it Karma. The more you try to do good, the more good seeks you out. We started the Kids Art Competition with a modest 200,000 Satoshi’s to give away and our fingers crossed, but at time of writing, that prize is now 1,222,047 sats. Cool, right (thanks to all the supporters). We also got an e-mail from Scott and Mallory Sibley, whose daughter Charlotte wanted to enter the competition, and they wanted to add a few prizes as well (if that didn’t disqualify Charlotte!) They have kindly offered to donate a copy of their books “Goodnight Bitcoin” and “If You Give a Monster a Bitcoin” to the winner of the 0–4-year-old competition, and a copy of their game “SHAmory” to the winners of the other 3 age groups. Plus, there will be a 50% discount at www.shamory.com to all those who enter the competition. We are very grateful for this kind gesture. So, get creative kids! We asked them to come on the podcast to tell their story. We discuss: Pacific Time minimalism Recognising that Bitcoin families working and learning together is important Teaching in a fun way Bringing the skills you have into Bitcoin Realising that you’re part of something special Simplifying complex concepts Satoshi and Hal Manufacturing a product with no experience SHAmmy for Africa Built with Bitcoin Raising money to build a water well Finding a Bitcoin designer Selling bracelets for Satoshis Pod Shout-outs https://twitter.com/TheBitcoinConf https://twitter.com/rjames_BTC https://twitter.com/builtwithbtc https://twitter.com/YusufBWB https://twitter.com/BitcoinerJobs https://twitter.com/pacificbitcoin https://twitter.com/BitcoinAlive https://twitter.com/geyserfund https://twitter.com/Paulbuybtc https://twitter.com/PrinceySOV https://twitter.com/CryptoCloaks https://twitter.com/BtcPins Book Recommendations Goodnight Bitcoin, https://shamory.com/product-category/books/ If You Give a Monster a Bitcoin Bitcoin Money: A Tale of Bitville Discovering Good Money, https://amzn.to/44BpOr7 Enter or Support the Kids Art Competition https://bitcoin-first.com/kids-art-competition/ At least 1,222,047 sats to be won!

We start with a quick shill for the Australian Bitcoin Industry Body’s petition for the RBA to hold 2% of assets in Bitcoin. More details at: https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN5167 CLOSING DATE FOR SIGNATURES IS 12 JULY 2023. For more details, listen to this discussion with Dale and Jeremy on The Why Bitcoin Show: https://fountain.fm/episode/cRv5zTAB4DiYoTqCdFs1 Brendo and I are golfers...not great golfers, but we try. So, when MirbooHodl / GreatGrandMan (Dom. A Nostr maxi. Npub below) reached out a couple of weeks ago about a Golf meets Bitcoin project – 88 Sats – we wanted to talk about it. I’ll be honest and say there were a couple of red flags, but after some back and forth over Nostr DM’s we realised that Dom was an open book and was happy for us to question the maxi credentials of the project. More than anything, this a pod about community building in a Bitcoin world. We discuss: Can 88 bitcoiners buy a golf course How long will it take and how to store the Bitcoin until then Why 1 Aussie “oddball” from Victoria wants to own a golf course in Canada Running golf tournaments with Satoshi prizes Creating a Bitcoin only community and a circular economy 88 Sats: Npub1ke3gzakud8hvdpmxxkhzymf87tkznnhmlj78gdqj4t9rqqmkhlws52gfzw Jor: Npub103m96sra82w4agghew9cdxtzs4s8sl7qsjsvw6h653yml0gjrkzqefd3h5 Finding Bitcoin without social media Primed for Bitcoin after going down the carnivore and regenerative agriculture rabbit holes Wearing the Bitcoin merch in your fiat world Low time preference Building a node within 3 weeks of buying his first Bitcoin Leaving the nihilism behind Allergy to bureaucracy Pod Shout-outs https://twitter.com/AusBTCIndBody https://twitter.com/farmerjen55 https://twitter.com/whybitcoinshow https://twitter.com/KNGgolf https://twitter.com/triggerpod https://twitter.com/KonstantinKisin https://twitter.com/francisjfoster https://twitter.com/saifedean https://twitter.com/saylor https://twitter.com/Blue_CollarBTC https://twitter.com/dazbea1 https://twitter.com/bitcoinbushbash https://twitter.com/BTCsessions https://twitter.com/AndyBTCAdviser https://twitter.com/GazLarking https://twitter.com/PeterBTCAdviser https://twitter.com/PerthHeat https://twitter.com/btcessex https://twitter.com/mission_bitcoin Npubs Hats: npub1evkn6h4dgkk6ey8mqy90spv2fmfnnzgj8u3h8dgqyql32gs9tywqhdruxp Brendo: npub1jsauhxc6hjyk5th86qc5z02c9f0cfc7dwszzlj7e9s8wt54w490q4kglr9 MirbooHodl: npub1jeyv5qwg4286fm68vwj93yr53xv9g799w9vcz8al8mkkz36wkt4qektpt7 Book Recommendations The Bitcoin Standard, https://amzn.to/3PA1MIG The Fiat Standard, https://amzn.to/3PH7loG Golf in the Kingdom Michael Murphy, https://amzn.to/46seqQ5 Support the Kids Art Competition https://geyser.fund/project/2bitidiots More than a million sats to be won!

We've had a lot of smart guests recently, which is great, but sometimes your brain needs a break and just needs to listen to Brendo (yeah ok...me too). In this pod we address all the low-brow issues of the day like: Brendo not washing for 5 years and wasting so many sats on fixing a shitcoin tiler’s mistake.

Anyone we’ve met in person will verify that my hair isn’t one of my strengths. Brendo would claim it’s one of his, but that’s a matter of opinion. So, you’d be forgiven for wondering what the hell we’re doing talking to a hairdresser on the podcast. Frankly, if you’d asked us a month ago if that would ever happen, I imagine a hearty laugh would have been the response. But...a month is a long time in Bitcoin! Aaron reached out to have a chat and told us that we needed to hear about the confluence of Bitcoin and Hairdressing. So, who the hell are we to dismiss something we had zero knowledge of. And, you know what, he was totally right! We discuss: Irresponsible parenting and nasty DM’s Eurovision Bitcoin meetups in Essex www.t.me/bitcoinessex Mainstream clickbait and weather warnings Extreme career change and the importance of enjoying what you do even if it means starting from the bottom Supermodels and A-listers Fiat sucking the life out of the UK hairdressing industry Shrinkflation Fear of speaking up The problem with minimum wages Unintended consequences when you remove the free market and skew incentives www.GoSalon.uk Our poor shampoo choices Rip-off culture The power of the QR code.

Do you have a creative kid? Are you always talking about Bitcoin? Could they create a piece of art that is their interpretation of what it is you go on about all the time? To celebrate reaching 100 shows on the 2-Bit Idiots podcast, we’ve decided to run a Kids Art Competition and give away 50,000 sats to the winners in each age group.

While most of us spend years trying to convince our cousin/sibling/mum that we’re not crazy and that “it might make sense just to get some in case it catches on”, there are others among us that are operating at an altogether higher level. Samson Mow is one of those people. As the CEO of JAN3, he’s working on nation-state adoption and accelerating hyperbitcoinization, but he didn’t set out to do that, it just happened one day. He kindly took some time out of his hectic schedule to hang out with a couple of Idiots. Here’s what we discussed: Will we ever operate on block time so that time difference is no longer a thing (we sound rough in the morning!) The state of DMs when you have a large following How to prioritise your workload The mission of JAN3 (top-down and bottom-up) How opportunities present themselves Varying levels of knowledge, understanding and receptivity Explaining that Bitcoin is just Money Awareness of money being devalued versus the high time preference nature of politics The next El Salvador. Mexico? Bitcoin becoming a key part of political discourse. RFK The importance of face-to-face, particularly in removing the fear of asking questions How many of us must understand Bitcoin Taking a break after hyperbitcoinization and the timescale for that The most powerful force is necessity (Argentina, Lebanon) Adopting Bitcoin before your value is destroyed The problem with centralised power The pros and cons of living on a Bitcoin standard The decline in developed countries Brendo’s unsuccessful application Infinite Fleet and gaming Fads Australia and Canada Pod Shout-outs https://twitter.com/JAN3com https://twitter.com/Pixelmatic https://twitter.com/InfiniteFleet https://twitter.com/jackmallers https://twitter.com/Bitcoinbeach https://twitter.com/nayibbukele https://twitter.com/Blockstream https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr https://twitter.com/MiprimerBTC https://twitter.com/PierrePoilievre https://twitter.com/BitcoinAlive https://twitter.com/BTCBrisket https://twitter.com/THNDRGAMES https://twitter.com/FossGregfoss https://twitter.com/AlboMP Book Recommendations Check Your Financial Privilege by @gladstein https://amzn.to/45Q2nM1 Npubs Hats: npub1evkn6h4dgkk6ey8mqy90spv2fmfnnzgj8u3h8dgqyql32gs9tywqhdruxp Brendo: npub1jsauhxc6hjyk5th86qc5z02c9f0cfc7dwszzlj7e9s8wt54w490q4kglr9 Support the Podcast https://geyser.fund/project/2bitidiotspodcast Contact Us www.2bitidiots.com

It's like buses. You don't see one for ages and then 2 come along at once! But seriously, Christmas dinner at the Dunworth’s must be an interesting experience. Michael is the time travelling bitcoiner, that has locked Bitcoin in 2140 to ensure miners still have an incentive to mine even once the final block reward is issued. That’s a great story – it's a wonderful story – but you may have heard it at Bitcoin Alive, a bush bash or on another podcast that Michael has done (we’d recommend EP96 of Meyrick’s Dabbling Path, EP5 with Discovering Bitcoin and the recent release from The Why Bitcoin Show). We’ve delayed doing this one, because frankly we didn’t know what we could add, but once we realised the answer to that was Nothing, we decided to just get together and shoot the shit because he’s a fun bloke to share a beer with. We discuss: The return of the alpha Sats or Bits Halving, Halvening or Hal Finney-ing Iron Man and Proof or Work Having someone on your journey Consistently showing up Fixed interest rates in Australia Dropping/Opting out of university Startup culture, strategies, risk and Wyre Egotistical restaurant owners When you should change your beliefs and opinions Seeing life through the Bitcoin filter Bitcoin miners are just monkeys Seeing the tech before the money Satoshi AI as the biggest inflection point of Bitcoin adoption SegWit2x and the power of the node Ordinals Backing yourself, but having support in your corner The warped VC industry Pod Shout-outs https://twitter.com/C_Shaughnessy https://twitter.com/nwoodfine https://twitter.com/richardbensberg https://twitter.com/FossGregfoss https://twitter.com/BitcoinAlive https://twitter.com/TonyRobbins https://twitter.com/_k3tan Npubs Hats: npub1evkn6h4dgkk6ey8mqy90spv2fmfnnzgj8u3h8dgqyql32gs9tywqhdruxp Brendo: npub1jsauhxc6hjyk5th86qc5z02c9f0cfc7dwszzlj7e9s8wt54w490q4kglr9 Contact Us www.2bitidiots.com

Lurk on Twitter – Tick Attend a BushBash – Tick Wearing the Bitcoin Alive T-Shirt – Tick What next - Maybe it’s time for you to cross the ditch? We sit down Paul and Dan (2/3 of the Bit Kiwi movement) to find out exactly how things are in New Zealand (Paraparaumu) at grass roots level, the projects they are involved in and hear just how loose meetups are in Auckland. We also discuss: Getting children to buy beer to gain KYC free sats ;-) Remembering Anon's names in real life Getting into Bitcoin with your childhood friends and becoming a maximalist within a few months Showing up at a CRYpTocurrEnCy shit show, showed them the need to create a Bitcoin only alternative The secrets to being a “professional” podcaster Attending their first meetup in Auckland inspiring the creation of Bit Kiwi, which started in Wellington, then Christchurch but is now going national and becoming an event Using lightning to engage new bitcoiners A meetup library and a lightning ATM Orange-pilling your family Running an S19 in your house and heating your swimming pool with immersion mining, and using 0% government loans to pay for it Being accused of being in a cult in work meetings The Wellington Elbow and the Sleeve of Shame Cost of living in NZ Contact Bitcoinmagazine@bitkiwi.co.nz if you want a copy of Bitcoin Magazine in New Zealand or Australia (issues 27 and 28).

Paul is a husband, dad, business owner and now bitcoiner, based in Victoria, Australia. We first met at a BitcoinBushBash (are you noticing a theme) in 2022, again at Bitcoin Alive in 2023 and now he joins us on the pod to tell his story. This one will resonate with business owner/operators who have had to navigate through a difficult few years, since that thing which we cannot mention and the government overreach in response to the thing that we cannot mention. You know the thing. THE THING. But more importantly, as we come out the other side, the hope we all feel thanks to the positive changes and outcomes we see in our move towards a Bitcoin Standard. We discuss: Brendo selling his chairs Why are Bitcoin conversations more comfortable Surviving the business turmoil caused by the hardest lockdown in the world Burning through the rainy-day account The “recession we had to have” The inevitability of our high inflation environment Working on a 200-year plan The manipulation of the system against everyday people Operating in both the Bitcoin and Fiat systems Personal responsibility Estate planning Government poor decision-making forcing individuals to find answers elsewhere The Bitcoin safety net Interest rate rises and black swan events Spending less than you earn and living frugally Giving yourself choices in life Families attending Bitcoin meetups, and allowing kids to learn by being in the room Art by Pixel Being the example for your children and creating learning experiences The difficulties incorporating Bitcoin payments into your business Australians not appreciating the hardships being felt in other countries Pod Shout-outs https://twitter.com/BitcoinAlive https://twitter.com/SharkGregNorman https://twitter.com/bitcoinbushbash https://twitter.com/theamberapp https://twitter.com/jack Npubs Hats: npub1evkn6h4dgkk6ey8mqy90spv2fmfnnzgj8u3h8dgqyql32gs9tywqhdruxp Brendo: npub1jsauhxc6hjyk5th86qc5z02c9f0cfc7dwszzlj7e9s8wt54w490q4kglr9 Contact Us www.2bitidiots.com

We’re testing ourselves. We’ve been around this sausage-fest so long that we’re not sure if we can still talk to girls. But we outright refuse to do it for diVersiTY’s sake. Meritocracy in all things. And quite frankly, this young woman is way ahead of most of you guys. Once Brendo got passed his awkward giggling, we discuss: The Scottish accent being better than the Aussie Whilst freelance writing during a gap-year from studying Law, a client wanted to pay with Bitcoin.

Bitcoin sends you off in directions you never dreamed you would go. In the next couple of weeks, I’ll be helping Roger at a woman’s wellness Bitcoin chocolate making session.
