Aloha! In this impromptu, heartfelt session, I discuss how our fiat-based monetary system fuels war, surveillance, and societal decay. I break down the difference between money and sound money, the implications of leaving the gold standard, and why Bitcoin’s open, transparent, and finite protocol offers a path toward peace, personal sovereignty, and ethical living.

I also dig into how centralized control over money, media, food, and energy breeds fear, censorship, and dependency—and why decentralization across money (Bitcoin) and communication (Nostr) matters.

I share my passion project, Bitcoin for PEACE, inviting your real-world stories of how Bitcoin has positively impacted your life.
