| The Story of a Hotelier Who Discovered Bitcoin Nine Months Ago and Is Already Thinking in Sats | Nicholas Dickinson #224 | 27 mai 2026 | 01:06:59 | |
Nicholas Dickinson bought his first significant Bitcoin stack on the all-time high. Three months later he was 40% underwater. He didn't panic. He read more books and bought more. Nicholas is a hotelier with 40 years in the industry — currently running a 50-acre country house hotel in Norfolk. He's also one of the newest, and arguably fastest-moving, members of the Bitcoin Business Network. In just nine months he's thinking in Bitcoin, buying at what the power law tells him is a 50% discount, and working out how to bring Bitcoin into a 40-year hospitality business without losing his board. 🇬🇧 Find out more about the Bitcoin Business Network: https://bitcoincollective.co/bbn/ In this episode, Jordan and Nicholas get into: - How The Price of Tomorrow started it all — before Nicholas even knew he was looking for Bitcoin - Why the power law gave him more conviction than anything else he'd read - The internal challenge of getting fellow stakeholders and a spouse on board - Why he thinks most people know the system is broken — but can't believe the fix could be this simple - What accepting Bitcoin at the hotel actually looks like as a first step - Why storing business cash reserves in Bitcoin is, to Nicholas, just common sense.

| Why This Non-profit Started Accepting Bitcoin | Dr Sheela Sharma #219 | 15 avr. 2026 | 01:03:22 | |
A nonprofit in West London is accepting Bitcoin donations to fund the next generation of entrepreneurs — and it all started with one conversation at a judging panel. Sheela Sharma is CEO of Portobello Business Centre, a 30-year-old nonprofit that helps underserved entrepreneurs — 70% of them women — start and grow their own businesses. Before that, she spent 14 years in investment banking, including as an equity analyst at Merrill Lynch covering medical devices and pharma. She came in knowing nothing about finance.

B Hodl has just listed, and they’re aiming to power payments over the Lightning Network using a growing Bitcoin treasury. CEO Freddie New (ex-FCA/City lawyer; co-founder, Bitcoin Policy UK) and CBO Danny Scott (co-founder/CEO, CoinCorner) explain why they built a Bitcoin treasury and services company, how Lightning routing and liquidity will generate Bitcoin-native revenue, and why this is about moving value over the internet at a global scale.We cover the realities of going public, the flywheel between BTC accumulation ↔ Lightning capacity ↔ revenue, USDT/Taproot Assets on Lightning, and why B Hodl is committing 1% to UK grassroots adoption.
