Today I talk with the Kiwi Bitcoin Builders. This New Zealand-based group connects people working on various Bitcoin projects, from tools for merchant acceptance of Bitcoin, through to mining businesses, Bitcoin meetups, education, and even developing on the lightning network.
I talk with Bitkiwi Paul about the next Bitkiwi meetup that is happening on Saturday October 28th in Auckland. We also discuss the social layer of Bitcoin in New Zealand and how it has grown enormously over the last 12 months. This time last year I didn’t really know any Bitcoiners in person, but here we are with a thriving community of Bitcoin projects, businesses, and collaborations that I am involved in, and I know there are many others out there doing the same. A lot of Proof of Work has gone into building on Bitcoin over the last few years and that is going to be important as more and more people start finding and learning about Bitcoin.
In this episode I speak with Mikey Smith, a Kiwi Bitcoiner working in the world of mortgages and finance. Mikey gives some perspectives on the New Zealand housing situation, the slow train wreck that is the Government, and what the longer term outlook might be for the country. We also dive into personal responsibility, creating value, and fishing off of Norfolk Island.
A special mid-winter Matariki episode. I catchup up with some of the Wellington Bitcoin crew here at the studio: Bitkiwi Paul and Konrad Hurren, and Troy joins us at the end.
Max Hillebrand is a Bitcoin builder, educator, and privacy advocate. Max has contributed to open-source Bitcoin projects including BISQ, JoinMarket, and Wasabi Wallet, while also talking about individual freedom and self-sovereignty.We dive straight into the concept of The Second Realm, which is focussed on building parallel economic systems in which sovereign individuals are empowered to pursue life, liberty and happiness without the harassment of the State. Along the way we discuss anarchy, agorism, praxeology, and natural law.
