Show Notes
I talk with Bitkiwi Paul, co-organiser of the Bitkiwi Meetup Events.
We are coming up to the end of the year and it is a good time to think about what has come to pass and spend time with family and friends.
Bitcoin is just a bit of code, some words, a computer network, but for many people it can be a catalyst for profound personal change. Looking at health, introspection, self-development, and a reassessment of ones role in the community and in life.
You can call it meaning making or finding purpose, but there is something about the idea of Bitcoin that is powerful, and I do hope you enjoy this exploration with Paul.
