    Bitcoin solves a critical problem that touches everyone. What happens when Canada faces that head-on?


    In this episode, I sit down with Daniel Carlin, founder of the Canadian Bitcoin Conference, just a week before it returns to Montreal. This is the third run of the event, which started in Toronto in 2023 before moving to Montreal last year.


    We get into what it takes to build a lineup of about 70 Bitcoin-focused speakers across two stages, and how the conference has become a place where you can actually connect with the people. Daniel also talks about the new business workshop designed for owners who want to learn how to bring Bitcoin into their operations.


    You’ll Learn:


    • What happens when a government blocks a keynote speaker from entering the country
    • The link between conference size and the chance to actually meet speakers face to face
    • The reason the Canadian Bitcoin Conference moved from June to October in Montreal
    • Why corporate workshops are now part of the conference program
    • How business owners can start accepting and reporting Bitcoin in Canada
    • The toll of running a multi-day conference and what it feels like behind the scenes
    • The connection between Bitcoin’s price, ticket sales, and conference turnout in Canada

    100: Saifedean Ammous ON: Why Bitcoin Is NOT A Ponzi Scheme
    Sep 30 2025
    👉 Engage top talent and empower your team with Bitcoin saving: https://blockrewards.caWhat if the single biggest mistake people make about Bitcoin is assuming it has to pay a yield to be real?Welcome to episode 100 where I sit down with the one and only Saifedean Ammous, author of The Bitcoin Standard. We strip Bitcoin back to its core: money that holds value because it can’t be easily made. We dig into why no yield doesn’t equal a Ponzi Scheme, how fiat currencies are designed to rob savers, and why houses became saving accounts instead of homes. Saifedean breaks down Bitcoin’s fixed supply, the way halving works, and why that scarcity keeps driving demand. We explore what happens when governments keep printing, why high time preference thinking blinds them to Bitcoin, and how this all adds up to a slow-motion debt jubilee as fiat fades into irrelevance.You’ll Learn:The reason calling Bitcoin a Ponzi Scheme because it has no yield misses the whole point of moneyWhat happens when fiat money is built to lose 5–10% of value every year The link between housing bubbles and broken money The damage of inflation pushing entire generations out of homeownership and into permanent rentingThe reason hardest-to-produce assets always end up as moneyWhat happens when Bitcoin’s scarcity collides with global demand The link between debt creation in fiat systems and why Bitcoin represents a slow-motion debt jubileeTimestamps: [00:00] Introduction [05:12] Why calling Bitcoin a Ponzi Scheme misses the point of money [09:02] How fiat money robs savers and forces speculation [12:11] Housing as a savings account and why Bitcoin fixes it [15:07] Bitcoin’s fixed supply and the halving schedule [19:14] Why scarcity pushes Bitcoin toward becoming global money [23:41] The tipping point where Bitcoin overtakes other monies [29:04] Governments, short-term thinking, and why they can’t grasp Bitcoin [33:52] Bitcoin as a slow-motion debt jubilee replacing fiat debt [36:44] Why expanding the money supply is a lie and divisibility matters [38:59] Imagining the 20th century if the world had stayed on a gold standardWant to start a podcast like this one?

    99: Tyranny of the Clock
    Aug 26 2025

    What if the real theft isn’t of your money, but of your time?


    This episode was sparked by George Woodcock’s 1944 essay The Tyranny of the Clock. Woodcock, an economist, argued that the invention of the mechanical clock in 1657 fundamentally changed how humans related to time, making it possible to measure, schedule, and commodify life itself.


    I trace that idea forward into the world of central banking, fiat money, and Bitcoin. From the Federal Reserve’s creation in 1913, to Nixon cutting gold from the dollar in 1971, to today’s endless money printing, the value of time has been systematically degraded. Bitcoin, with its fixed supply and transparent schedule, offers a way to break free of this trap and restore time as the most valuable asset we have.


    You’ll Learn:


    • Why Nixon’s 1971 move to cut gold from the dollar still shapes your daily costs
    • What happens when central banks expand the money supply while time itself never changes
    • The surprising link between the invention of the mechanical clock and the rise of industrial society
    • Why fiat money makes every unit of your time worth less as you move through life
    • How Bitcoin functions as a clock built on blocks, epochs, and difficulty adjustments
    • The damage of high time preference and how it fuels disposable culture, food, and buildings
    • Why storing your time in Bitcoin can flip urgency into long-term security
    • The deeper connection between history, civilization cycles, and the future Bitcoin makes possible
