Thank you Solomon. I am trying to explore new territory and ask bigger questions. At the same time I think it is important to keep a close eye on what is happening with Bitcoin and steelman and strawman the various arguments.

Have always enjoyed your podcasts though lately they have fallen off my radar screen a bit. Good to see you posting here and be reminded of your content. 
Keep posting new content on here and it will be more visible.

The Transformation of Value is my personal exploration of Freedom, Money, and Creativity which I hope to share with you.

I was living back in my home country of New Zealand. We had been subject to the multi-year torment of lockdowns, border closures, and the insatiable dance for power that happened around the world during those Covid years.

For the first time in my life I was confronted with the full salvo of State power, of mass psychosis, of pandemonium.

Until that point, the artist in me had existed as a naive and curious journeyman.I had wandered and seen certain things but my basis for relations to the world had never been properly tested.

It was a sense of powerlessness, I felt stuck.

But somehow along the way I discovered Bitcoin and from there began to realise that I had a political voice. I could run a node and use open-source technology in a way that returned at least a little bit of sovereignty back to me.

This show documents my journey following these threads, including long-format podcast interviews, 

Fundamentally I approach these questions as an artist.

It has been said that my show has a lot of 

. Some episodes are easy to fall asleep to, others are riveting and kindly request your undivided attention.

I am always looking for different lenses to approach the same questions with, for a bit of purchase with which to grab the next movement as I try to climb the sheer vertical wall.

This show may not be for everyone, but if you are here and listening I humbly appreciate your presence and your input. This project only exists because of listeners and the curious like you.
