Rodrigo Cuesta: From multi-million acquisition to all-in on Bitcoin | BFM067 Jul 25, 2024

Show notes

Rodrigo Cuesta is a Medical Doctor and Surgeon who could not find a good job despite having a great CV. This led him to entrepreneurship and he founded his first company in Telehealth. He sold that and blew 50% of the money trying to invest in different things with leverage. The rest of the money was invested in a venture studio that also got acquired. All of that reward was converted into Bitcoin and Rodrigo never looked back. He stopped being a speculator and is now following a low-risk strategy to accumulate more Bitcoin.

Bryan Solstin: Everything will be cheaper priced in Bitcoin | BFM063 Jul 11, 2024

Show notes

Bryan Solstin is an aerospace systems engineer, Bitcoiner since 2017, and ran for US Senate on a zero-tax Bitcoin platform. Bryan brings a unique perspective to the discourse on conservation (savings) within a debt-based monetary system and conservation within a commodity-based monetary system. In his book, “Apex Environmental Solution: Bitcoin”, Brian argues that all conservation efforts within our current monetary system are futile and that we are driven into hyper-consumption, behavior that does not improve our lives.

Keith Laska: Bitcoin is a peaceful resistance | BFM061 Jul 04, 2024

Show notes

Keith Laska is a Professor of Bitcoin at Fordham University in New York. He is passionate about Bitcoin but got frustrated by the lack of high-quality, easy-to-understand education. To understand Bitcoin, he spent thousands of hours on YouTube, social media, books, and attending conferences. Keith concluded that Bitcoin is a once-in-a-generation money transformation, and most people won't understand it until it's too late. So he put a team of passionate Bitcoiners together and launched Learn Bitcoin, a Bitcoin Education Network.
