In this extremely bullish conversation Ced sits down with Luke Mikic to talk about the unwinding of the petrodollar system, exponential technology in the digital age, network effects, technological S curves, the big fish who will trigger escape velocity, moon math based on bitcoin’s total addressable market, the coming Bitcoin supercyle and why the volatility will increase from here.

Luke Mikic is just another Bitcoin pleb, whose mind has been captured by the Bitcoin rabbit hole ever since discovering Bitcoin in 2017. He believes we’re living through the most consequential years in human history, as we’re watching the separation of money and state and the transition into the digital age.

His mission is to drag as many no-coiners down this rabbit hole with him, by providing financial education to the masses. He considers himself lucky enough to be working 24/7 in the space under many different hats, as an educator and content creator in the Bitcoin space.

He works as a full-time writer and researcher for Mark Moss, he works part time as a contributor to the CoinBeast social media accounts, he also writes articles part-time for Amber, as well as co-hosts the Bitcoin Made Simple Podcast. After leaving Australia for good in 2022, he works online, and has the privilege to travel the world, meeting Bitcoiners and exploring citadels.

For this insightful and highly informative episode Cedric sits down again with Bitcoin author and thinker Brandon Quittem for a wide ranging conversation about Bitcoin as a pioneer species, ecology, how utilizing more energy and not less will save the planet and why he's so optimistic about the future even as we go through another fourth turning.

Brandon is an entrepreneur, writer, speaker, and passionate Bitcoiner. He's currently building SwanBitcoin.com which is the best place to buy Bitcoin in the US.

His articles have been read by more than 2 million people online. Most well known for exploring the parallels between Bitcoin and mycelium.

His superpower is taking complex information and turning it into simple, actionable, intelligence.

When he's not helping bitcoin companies, he spends most of his “work time” reading, writing, and speaking.

Check out our first conversation together here:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/brandon-quittem-the-bitcoin-mycologist-on-the/id1534519469?i=1000499188949

Bitcoin is a fungus. If you cleave a piece off, you're just making more. It cannot be stopped, no matter how hard governments, detractors, or other obstacles may stand in its way. Brandon and Ced ponder a potential Second Civil War, psychedelics, Millennial thinking vs Zoomer thinking, and where we stand in The Fourth Turning. In all of this turmoil, how does Bitcoin reduce suffering?

In this episode Cedric sits down with Daniel Bayerdorffer, the founder of CypherSafe.

CypherSafe is a Numberall Stamp & Tool Company DBA owned and operated by Daniel Bayerdorffer, a third-generation maker and inventor. Bayerdorffer has continued the tradition started in 1930 by his grandfather, the founder of Numberall, by venturing into new territory with two Numberall DBAs: Reuleaux Models, which has revived the practice of building kinematic models for academics, hobbyists, and collectors, and CypherSafe. Founded in 2018, CypherSafe’s goal is to provide important security tools for Bitcoin.

We discuss his background as a third generation machinist, BIP39, his rabbit hole story, utilizing creativity and making things as a way to build a sense of pride, securing your bitcoin and when his dog Archie ate his Trezor he was inspired to build tools to help bitcoiners avoid single points of failure.
