I’ve admire and respect Peter McCormack’s hustle - he ramped up What Bitcoin Did quickly to become one of, if not the I think, most downloaded Bitcoin podcast. He’s been generous when I’ve asked him for some advice on growing the podcast, how to approach finding sponsors, etc. It’s been interesting to watch him evolve into a full on Bitcoiner over the past couple years. And now he’s diving headfirst into filmmaking as part of his new project, Defiance. It was fun to catch up with Pete, hope you all enjoy the conversation.Citizen Bitcoin on TwitterCitizen Bitcoin PodcastCitizen Bitcoin Layer One merch collectionBitcoiner's BestMusic: Moon in the Sky by HobotekLinks from the episode:What Bitcoin DidDefiance PodcatPeter on Twitter

John Vallis is one of my very favorite Bitcoin podcasters. I just love his style and his broad knowledge base. I had a great time chatting with John on his podcast, Bitcoin Rapid Fire, last year.

Andy Edstrom is a wealth manager who has fallen down the bitcoin rabbit hole. He started writing content to justify a small stake in bitcoin for his clients and that turned into the new book “Why Buy Bitcoin” - a great book to recommend to family and friends thinking about an investment in bitcoin.

In this episode we get into that history and perspective, we discuss where the finance industry currently is in terms of moving toward embracing bitcoin as an asset. We talk about monetary maximalism and how bitcoin might change our economy. As any good wealth manager should, Andy has a thorough examination of bitcoin’s risk as an investment in the closing chapters of his book and we discuss them.Citizen Bitcoin on TwitterCitizen Bitcoin PodcastCitizen Bitcoin Lightning ShopCitizen Bitcoin Layer One merch collectionMusic: Moon in the Sky by HobotekLinks from the episode:Andy on TwitterAndy'
