  1. What are your priorities in allocating capital in the Bitcoin space, where do you see the best risk/reward ratio?
  2. What do you think are the best ways to introduce & integrate Bitcoin into local communities aside from the NgU aspect?
reply
  1. AO prioritizes projects and organizations that focus on rolling out circular economies. We see the most potential in frameworks that integrate bitcoin throughout operations in order to maximize efficiency. We invest in things that make Bitcoin practical, and thus see the highest reward payoff when the most amount of people are positively affected. This means that often we are evaluating "return-on-humanity", instead of "return-on-investment" alone.
  2. In my experience, the best way to introduce Bitcoin into communities is by "orange-pilling" elders, business owners and well-known/respected community members first. I rarely lean into the NgU aspect, if at all, and focus on how it benefits the community. It aligns incentives so that users prioritize long-term well being over immediate short-term satisfaction, it reduces friction, fees, and censorship, it does not require a centralized ID or government issued passport. What will orange-pill the masses is practicality and repetition. To the latter point, some of the most important things are continuing to show up, engage in good-faith conversation, and host community events.

What's the most surprising thing you've learned in the last year?
reply
I learned this a few years ago, though was contemplating it again yesterday: "from the perspective of the photon (from within Light) - no time passes".

True, as light is just information, and Bitcoin reveals information is time.
Light is time.
reply
Before there was time (pre-big bang), there was Light. Light is timeless.

Only if the photon is primitive and doesn't have a (slightly off-angle) rearview camera like all the modern photons

What's something you believe about bitcoin that no one agrees with you on?
reply
I've gotten some funny looks at conferences saying: "Bitcoin is here to teach humanity to transcend space-time".

Have you ever tried to teach Beaux how to surf?
That would be instant viral Nostr post

Good question; maybe someone like Christopher Nolan, if he isn't already.

tell us about the choice of names ("Ohm" and "Anhk") -- meaning + personal relation to them?
reply
Very simply: It was one of those things that popped into my head with very little linear or logical thought - a "download" that was given to me, if you will.
For more depth: from the preface of Bitcoin Awakening article; let's "illuminate the meaning behind Ankh & Ohm’s name and symbol. These elements are not ornamental—they are foundational, expressing the cosmological principles that guide our work.
Our mission is to bridge the eternal with the practical. As a Bitcoin-focused family office and consulting firm, we understand capital not as an end, but as a tool—one that, when properly aligned, becomes a vehicle for divine order. We see Bitcoin not simply as a technological innovation but as an emanation of the Divine Logos—a harmonic expression of truth, transparency, and incorruptible structure. Both the beginning and the end, the Alpha and Omega.
The Ankh (☥), an ancient symbol of eternal life, is a key to the integration of opposites. It unites spirit and matter, force and form, continuity and change. It reminds us that capital, like Life, must not only be generative, but regenerative; sacred. Money must serve Life, not siphon from it.
The Ohm (Ω) holds a dual meaning. In physics, it denotes a unit of electrical resistance—the formative tension that gives energy coherence. In the Vedic tradition, Om (ॐ) is the primordial vibration—the sound from which all existence unfolds. Together, these symbols affirm a timeless truth: resistance and resonance are both sacred instruments of the Creator.
Ankh & Ohm, then, represents our striving for union, for harmony —between the flow of life and intentional structure, between incalculable abundance and measured restraint, between the lightbulb’s electrical impulse and its light-emitting filament. We stand at the threshold where intention becomes action, and where capital is not extracted, but cultivated in rhythm with the cosmos.
We exist to shepherd this transformation, as guides of this threshold —helping families, founders, and institutions align with a deeper order, where capital serves not as the prize, but as a pathway to collective Presence, Purpose, Peace and Prosperity."

What's the craziest conspiracy theory you think is true, and one you think is false?
reply
The craziest? That We all conspire to be strangers, for the Joy of re-membering who we truly Are.
Jesus captured this well when saying "love the Lord God with all thy heart, thy soul and thy might; love thy neighbor as thyself".
Everything other than this is a half-truth (i.e. a lie, false).
reply
Many people view bitcoin as being at odds with terms like "renewable energy" and "regenerative infrastructure". How would you respond to these bitcoin skeptics?
reply
I would urge them to look into the work Daniel Batten has done.
reply
Hi from New Zealand and great to see you are working with lightningpay.nz
They are doing more than anyone else here in NZ to build BTC/LN MoE/circular economies.
Have you been to New Zealand or planning to?
reply
LPNZ rocks!
Will be in NZ in early 2027, there may be a summit organized then. Stay tuned.
