Simon Dixon is a geopolitical analyst, Bitcoin OG, and entrepreneur, formerly an investment banker. In this conversation, Simon does a deep dive into the real architecture of power shaping our world, unpacking how financial, military, and technological power structures intersect, and why incentives drive global decisions. From his early days in traditional finance to his journey into Bitcoin, Simon shares what he learned about how money is created, how influence is exercised, how power compromises, and why many leaders operate within larger systems they don’t fully control. We explore the difference between reforming the system and exiting it, the role of sovereignty, sovereign wealth and debt, how media and markets shape narratives, and why Simon sees Bitcoin and self-custody as tools for individual sovereignty. This is a wide-ranging discussion about power, truth, responsibility, and the practical paths toward greater independence in a highly controlled, corrupted world.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Senator Alex Antic is a member of the Liberal Party representing South Australia in the federal parliament since 2019. In this wide-ranging conversation, he opens up about how COVID-19 became his political awakening, admitting he was "far too cavalier" in trusting government and bureaucracy before the pandemic revealed how easily institutional power can be weaponized against citizens. Senator Antic was the only senator to vote against Australia's recent hate speech legislation, walked away from party pressure, and currently fights to repeal "no jab no pay" laws that withhold government benefits from families who don't comply with childhood immunization schedules. We examine the broader pattern: an alarming expansion of state control over just 18 months including hate speech laws, hate crime laws, firearms restrictions, digital ID frameworks, and the under 16 social media ban, all targeting free speech & other human rights. Senator Antic shares why Australia is no longer sovereign.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Dr. Mary Tally Bowden is a board-certified ENT physician and emergency medicine specialist based in Houston, Texas, who treated over 6,000 COVID-19 patients in direct care while openly challenging centralized medical authority and censorship in healthcare. In November 2021, Houston Methodist Hospital, the first hospital in the country to mandate COVID vaccines, suspended her clinical privileges for allegedly spreading misinformation. Bowden resigned and sued the FDA for their public campaign against ivermectin, winning a landmark case that forced the agency to remove misleading social media posts. She operates a medical practice independent of hospitals, insurance companies, and government contracts, allowing her to treat patients according to clinical judgment rather than institutional mandates. Dr. Bowden continues to fight her Texas Medical Board reprimand while leading efforts to expose hospitals that failed to report vaccine injuries to VAERS as legally required, potentially exposing billions in fraud. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Monika Bravo is a multidisciplinary artist, polymath, writer, evolutionary astrologer, bitcoiner, and freedom maximalist. Born in Bogotá, Colombia, she spent her mid-20s in Europe studying fashion design and photography before moving to New York in 1994. Since 2020, Monika has focused on her public art, trauma & consciousness studies, human design, Austrian economics, somatic practice, and astrology, integrating them into a unique philosophy centered on liberty, value, and self-awareness.This profound conversation explores Monika's transformation from a fragmented artist conforming to the system to a sovereign individual who found wholeness through Bitcoin. We dive into her childhood rebellion against religious conformity, her journey through public art and breaking free from galleries, the moment her artist friends called her a "traitor", and how she integrated the various areas into a unified practice.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Bob McDonell is the founder of @HouseofLifeMC in El Salvador, a shelter providing care, protection, and hope for abandoned children and teenage mothers with their babies. This profound conversation reveals the dark reality of child abuse, trafficking, and exploitation in Central America, while showcasing a transformative model of healing through love, structure, and opportunity. Bob shares his journey from a physics student in Buffalo to answering God's call to serve El Salvador's most vulnerable children during the civil war. We explore the systemic failures & corruption of international organizations, the devastating impact of flawed orphanage studies, and how Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador has created unprecedented opportunities for these girls to own their own homes and build independent futures.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Agustin Kassis is a Bitcoin developer, entrepreneur, and founder of La Crypta in Buenos Aires, Argentina. As a self-taught programmer since age 11 and serial entrepreneur with seven startups, Agustin discovered Bitcoin in its first years. This conversation explores Argentina's unique position as a potential Bitcoin adoption leader, shaped by decades of currency destruction, hyperinflation, and distrust of government institutions.We dive deep into the grassroots Bitcoin movement in Argentina, the role of La Crypta as an education and community hub, and how Argentinians' natural rebellion against monetary systems creates fertile ground for Bitcoin adoption. Agustin discusses the challenges of onboarding merchants and individuals, the competition with the crypto industry (including stablecoins), and the importance of maintaining Bitcoin's decentralized nature against capture. We also explore President Milei's impact on Argentina, the cultural shift happening in the country, and why he believes ideology and values matter more than technical knowledge & NGU when identifying true Bitcoiners.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

Jeff Booth is a General Partner at Ego Death Capital and the author of The Price of Tomorrow, known for his profound insights at the intersection of technology, economics, and human consciousness. This conversation explains how the existing monetary (fiat) system relies on debt, fear, and illusion to survive, and why it’s now unraveling under its own weight. Jeff explains why Michael Saylor’s current position is very different than his initial one, and why it isn’t sustainable. We dive deep into the different types of control vectors governing our life, from money to politics to physics, and explore how consciousness shifts and Bitcoin challenges these structures at a fundamental level. Jeff talks about decentralization, the role of fear and agency, and why the free market has never truly existed — until now. We also touch on spirituality, the deeper meaning of sovereignty, and the transformative potential of Bitcoin not as an asset, but as a protocol for freedom.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo’s.

My guest today is Dr. Alexis Cowan, PhD,, a Princeton-trained molecular biologist specializing in metabolism, mitochondrial function, and circadian biology. We talk about why modern science has drifted into scientism, how mitochondrial dysfunction sits at the root of nearly every chronic disease, and why reclaiming sovereignty over your health is both radical and necessary. We dive deep into light biology, circadian rhythms, sun exposure, quantum biology, and the incentives that shape (and distort) modern medicine. We also explore Alexis’ personal health journey, her break from academia, her work with Jack Kruse’s ideas, and how Bitcoin, self-custody, and proof-of-work thinking mirror biological truth.→ Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing big tech algorithms & gov. censorship.

My guest today is Aaron Murphy, founder of MurphsLife Foundation, a storyteller and builder working across Latin America to turn direct aid into long-term, dignity-first systems. We sit down in El Salvador’s National Palace to talk about what happens when you hit rock bottom—and choose responsibility, faith, and service instead of collapse. Murph shares his journey from addiction, debt, panic attacks, and near-death experiences to building villages, farms, and regenerative communities that have already impacted tens of thousands of people. We talk about why life doesn’t get easier—you simply choose which kind of “hard” you’re willing to live with—and why real sovereignty starts with food, land, shelter, and low time preference. We explore inflation, the fragility of the dollar system, and why Bitcoin matters not as speculation, but as intergenerational infrastructure for families who currently live in survival mode. Murph explains his vision for using Bitcoin to help entire villages escape poverty—not through handouts, but through ownership, education, and long-term incentives. Finally, we go deep into faith, suffering, fasting, and the idea that meaning comes from choosing a mission larger than yourself. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing big tech algorithms & gov. censorship.

My guest today is Zuby, a British-Nigerian rapper, author, podcaster, and public speaker, raised in Saudi Arabia and known for building an independent career outside traditional gatekeepers. We sit down in El Salvador’s National Palace to talk about why money doesn’t create courage, it only amplifies the character you already have, and why simply telling obvious truths has somehow become “brave” in modern society. Zuby reflects on speaking out during COVID-era, the incentives that keep public figures silent, and how courage is a muscle that either grows through use or atrophies through avoidance. We also explore the monetary crossroads ahead: Bitcoin as self-sovereign digital money vs. CBDCs as programmable control, the coming decentralization of states and culture, and why most people struggle to engage with money at all. Zuby argues that learning Bitcoin is one of the best time-ROIs you can make, and makes the case for a simple first step: get off zero. Finally, we go deeper into faith, the “black pill” trap, and why hope, meaning, and urgency come from remembering we don’t live forever.→ Please like, comment, share & follow - to help me beat the suppressing big tech algorithms & gov. censorship.

My guest today is Lea Petrasova, co-founder and CEO of Vexl, a peer-to-peer bitcoin app that lets people exchange bitcoin privately, without identification (KYC) or any middlemen. Lea is a prominent voice in the European cypherpunk community, dedicated to privacy, digital freedom, and restoring bitcoin’s original peer-to-peer design. We discuss why identity-linked bitcoin undermines true self-custody, how tightening cash controls and app-store censorship accelerate financial surveillance, and why Vexl chose to remain open-source and non-profit. Lea explains Vexl’s reputation-based trust model, the real risks of “dirty fiat,” and the growing global push toward CBDCs and digital IDs. We also explore how Vexl is evolving into a local marketplace for everything from food to services to hardware, showing how private, person-to-person exchange can quietly rebuild resilient, grassroots economies.→ Please like, comment, share & follow - to help me beat the suppressing big tech algorithms & gov. censorship.

My guest today is Lorraine Marcel, founder of Bitcoin Dada and its technical arm Dada Devs for women across Africa. She’s a financial activist reshaping Africa’s fintech landscape by training women across 12 countries in financial literacy, Bitcoin fundamentals, and technical development. We talk about how mobile money like M-Pesa, limited banking access, and cultural barriers around property shape the economic reality for African women, and why Bitcoin in much of Africa is used first for payments and day-to-day survival rather than long-term savings. We also explore the expanding reach of CBDC and VASP regulation, and why women-led projects such as Tando and Dada Devs are critical for building practical, grassroots Bitcoin economies that actually serve people on the ground.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

My guest today is Carol Souza, co-founder of Area Bitcoin, one of the largest Bitcoin education platforms in Latin America, reaching hundreds of thousands across Brazil and the Portuguese-speaking world. Her path began not in tech or finance, but as a dentist, where Brazil’s inflation, POS payment fees, and daily operational fragilities pushed her to study money and ultimately adopt Bitcoin as a survival tool for her clinic. We discuss Brazil’s long history of hyperinflation, savings confiscation, and the deep fiat mindset that still shapes economic life. Carol explains how PIX, open banking, and the proposed Drex CBDC form a sophisticated financial-surveillance architecture, and why she sees Bitcoin as a sovereignty instrument rather than a speculative asset.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

My guest today is Jeff G, privacy advocate and builder of censorship-resistant communication systems using Nostr and open cryptographic infrastructure. Jeff works on White Noise, a decentralized encrypted messaging project designed to remove single points of failure from private communication. We explore how the internet was built without native money and how that mistake created a surveillance economy where users became the product. We break down why “nothing to hide” is a psychological trap, how self-sovereign digital identity works through public-private key pairs, and why portable social graphs threaten centralized platform control. We also cover the global push for digital ID and CBDCs, the structural weakness of centralized messengers like Signal, and why real freedom now depends on rebuilding parallel, permissionless systems instead of trying to fix broken institutions.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

My guest today is Joe Bryan, tech entrepreneur & former Goldman Sachs derivatives trader turned Bitcoin educator and creator of the viral film What’s the Problem. After a decade building tech businesses, Joe set out to craft a story that explains why the world needs Bitcoin. His film, now translated into more than 40 languages, uses Pixar-style storytelling to reveal how the fiat system quietly steals from everyone and why separating money from the state is essential. We discuss the compounding creep of digital control, the rise of digital IDs and CBDCs, Bitcoin’s evolution into “perfect money,” and Joe’s mission to help the world see and resist the problem before it’s too late.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

My guest today is Samuel Kullmann, a Member of Parliament from Switzerland’s Canton Bern, entrepreneur, and one of Europe’s first openly pro-Bitcoin politicians. His journey began in 2015 when the Swiss National Bank dropped its euro peg, pushing him to study money, move from gold to Bitcoin, and embrace hard-money principles. We discuss how Switzerland’s decentralized system — shared executive power, binding referendums, and a constitutional “debt brake” — aligns with Bitcoin’s ethos. Samuel details his opposition to Switzerland’s new digital ID law, warning of normalization and future linkage with CBDCs. ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

In this interview with Viva Frei I talk about my path from freedom activism to Bitcoin. I was born in Israel in 1980 to a family of Holocaust survivors and builders of the early state. During COVID I watched Israel impose coercive measures like the Green Pass and saw a sign that said “Reserved for vaccinated only.” It reminded me of my grandfather’s stories from pre-war Europe and pushed me to protest. That experience made me study freedom more deeply, especially in money. I learned how fiat, inflation and fractional-reserve banking rob people, then discovered Bitcoin as sound money with fixed supply and no central control. I explain how it differs from crypto and from CBDCs, and why self-custody is the foundation of sovereignty. For me Bitcoin is not just money, it is a stand for human freedom.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.
