In today’s episode, we spoke with José Lemus, the CEO of Ibex.

José is originally from Guatemala and experienced hyperinflation as well as corruption from a very young age. He found Bitcoin because it’s the only violable option he has.

The push down the rabbit hole led to him discovering the Lightning Network and founding Ibex with his brother. These days, they’re one of the biggest PoS and infrastructure providers in Latin America.

In today’s episode, we spoke with Daniel Prince. He’s most famous for his podcast ‘Once Bitten’ and is also the author of ‘Choose Life’

Daniel used to work in the Foreign Exchange Markets in a previous life but knew very quickly he had to get out of it. So he and his wife decided to try house swapping, which ended up in them traveling around the world.

Daniel discovered Bitcoin and a new way of living life throughout this journey. He quickly realized that we don’t only need to separate money from the state but education from the state as well.

Dive down our rabbit hole story with Daniel to discover how you can contribute to the Bitcoin ecosystem, what life on the road looks like, and why schools are deliberately run like prisons.

In today’s episode, we spoke with Bailey Jakob, the creator of Mr. Satoshi, a lifestyle Bitcoin apparel brand, and various Bitcoin projects.

Bailey is our first guest from Australia, and it was an exciting one. In a previous life, Bailey was a mortgage broker but eventually found Bitcoin.

These days he’s the founder of Mr. Satoshi, a Bitcoin apparel and lifestyle brand. The idea is to sell merchandising that doesn’t scream Bitcoin but looks and feels good.

Next to Mr. Satoshi, he’s also running the BitByte News blog, where he shares short and easy-to-read Bitcoin stories. He’s also the creator of the Bitcoin Legacy Project, a website with all the important Bitcoin events.

Bailey was also busy this past year writing his book 'Orange Pill'd' in which he bundled over 250 rabbit hole stories of Bitcoiners all around the world. The idea is to show the diversity and openness of the Bitcoin community.

Pierre used to work as a consultant, spending hours in Word, Excel, or Powerpoint. Asking himself what he contributes to the world. Thanks to a friend’s recommendation, he dove down the crypto rabbit hole and found Bitcoin. The rest, he said, was history…
