I talk with Roland Bewick, a kiwi Bitcoiner and Lightning Developer working on Alby and Lightsats. We talk about Roland’s background and how he become involved in Bitcoin, how value4value and new kinds of revenue models for creators could work in the future, as well as the other possibilities that Bitcoin enables as the money of the internet.

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.

I talk with Rob Clarkson about scaling Bitcoin’s Layer 2 Lightning protocol, and how changes happen to Bitcoin more generally. Rob provides a technical introduction to some of the proposals such as ELTOO, APO, CTV, and we talk a bit about what covenants and vaults mean in Bitcoin.  Now I am still trying to work a lot of this out for myself and Rob does well to break it down and explain it. Even though these are quite advanced topics I think it is important to have the discussion and work together to understand what proposed changes to Bitcoin might mean and what the dangers and opportunities are.

I talk with Oscar Merry, co-founder of Fountain, one of the most popular Podcasting 2.0 apps. We talk about the future of open podcasting and breaking out from the walled gardens of big tech, how the Bitcoin Lightning Network can enable streaming value directly to content creators, and we also discuss some of the upcoming features that the Fountain team are working on.

Today I talk with Darcy Ungaro. Darcy is a financial advisor, a Bitcoiner, and he also hosts the NZ Everyday Investor Podcast. This episode is very much a crossover where we talk about our views on Bitcoin and what the future may look like. Wealth and investment planning strategies traditionally involve things like real estate, stocks, and KiwiSaver, but for many people these pathways are no longer realistic options and more and more people are seeking alternatives, such as Bitcoin. There is a lot going on out there. It sometimes seems like we are entering a brave new world where things will never be the same again. As the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius once wrote: "Consider frequently, how swiftly all things which exist, are swept away, and carried off." Perhaps it is the change presented by an unchangeable money called Bitcoin that will help us move in a better direction?  If you want to get in touch, follow me on twitter at https://twitter.com/TTOVpodcast or send an email to hello@thetransformationofvalue.com and I will get back to you.  Support the show: Bitcoin donation address: bc1qlujm05d908ghr6gh07rs3c88qlyj2alajw80gx Lightning donation address: codyellingham@getalby.com Links: NZ Everyday Investor Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/0MA6EGur387YT1ENKIffMx Ungaro and Co, Darcy's Financial Advice Firm - https://ungaro.co.nz The Bullish Case for Bitcoin - https://vijayboyapati.medium.com/the-bullish-case-for-bitcoin-6ecc8bdecc1 The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous - https://saifedean.com/tbs Value4Value Concept - https://value4value.info Podcasting 2.0 Apps - https://podcastindex.org/apps

Today I talk with Ben Jarvie. Ben is a Bitcoiner working for Amber App, a Bitcoin-only exchange, and he is also a writer. In this episode we talk about a piece that Ben wrote for Bitcoin magazine titled "New Zealand's Past, Pūtea, and Future: CBDC vs Bitcoin". In this article Ben illustrates a fascinating perspective on the contentious relationship between state & centralised money, and the Māori people of New Zealand. The very existence of a singular undemocratic Reserve Bank of New Zealand goes against the principles laid out in the Treaty of Waitangi for self-determination, though this is conveniently ignored to instead focus on a seemingly unending culture war that sees the Reserve Bank co-opting Māori imagery and symbols of guardianship whilst simultaneously engineering a recession. More broadly the article outlines how New Zealand has always been at the mercy of overseas banks and the monetary policy of the crown and we are still paying for this today. Ben and I explore various avenues of discussion here, and we arrive at a place that sees Bitcoin present an opportunity for the empowerment and self-sovereignty of not only Māori communities but all of New Zealand.

Today I talk with Andy, Dash, and Mike from Tokyo Citadel. The group’s goal is is to move bitcoin adoption, use and knowledge forward in Tokyo. They run a Bitcoin podcast and organise regular meetups and events. In this episode we discuss Bitcoin in Japan and its perceptions by the public, as well as the bitcoin development and innovation that is taking place and what the current economic & political landscape is. We also talk about spending and using Bitcoin in Japan. I previously lived in Tokyo for 5 years and it was very interesting to learn about where the Bitcoin community is at today.

I talk with Roberto Osegueda, a Salvadorian living here in New Zealand. We talk about Roberto's experience growing up in El Salvador among the backdrop of the civil war and gang violence, and how the country has managed to massively change its image over the last few years for the better. El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as legal tender in September 2021 and Roberto shares a very interesting take on the successes and the challenges of Bitcoin as a currency, and how it can perhaps serve as a positive model for other countries in Latin America and the world.

A down-to-earth and impromptu catchup with HG, a local Bitcoiner from Christchurch who flew up to be at the Bitkiwi meetup in Wellington recently. We discuss Bitcoin in NZ, local initiatives, and who we think is the one kiwi we would like to see get orange pilled! Links: HG on twitter: https://twitter.com/hgw393939

I talk with Konrad, a New Zealand Economist. We cover a lot of topics, looking at Austrian economics and how it can be considered in a New Zealand context, the challenges and inherent biases with trying to measure an economy with things like GDP and CPI, and the difference between the science and practice of economics.

I talk with Hanoz Bilia, the founder of The Altruist, a new Bitcoin education and community space based in the Auckland CBD. The Altruist is NZ's first dedicated Bitcoin space and is a great project helping connect Bitcoiners and people interested about Bitcoin in real life! We discuss Hanoz's motivation to start the space, the importance of providing resources for people to learn and independently verify what Bitcoin is, and the future of Bitcoin in New Zealand. The Altruist is open Wednesday, Thursday, Friday 10am - 5pm & Saturday 10am - 3pm, drop in at 74 Albert St, Auckland Central, or reach out to Hanoz directly at info@thealtruistschool.com Links: The Altruist on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thealtruistschool/ The Transformation of Value Podcast on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TTOVpodcast
