Thanks Idiots
It's been...emotional. Onwards.
#Bitcoin
This is the big one!
Today, we put some Bitcoin (1,432,047 Satoshis to be precise) in the hands of kids. It’s theirs, they own it, and we don’t have any say in how they save it or spend it.
I’ll not spoil the results here, but I do have some thankyous to give.

We’ve always wanted to do an “Orange Pill Live” episode, to test our abilities in answering the questions of a precoiner and to see if (during the course of a podcast) we could convince someone to buy themselves their first Bitcoin.
That was the intention of this episode, but in the time it’s taken us to schedule the pod with Bernie, he’d already got himself off zero!
However, Bernie is Brendo’s mate, so we thought we’d go ahead ...

If you’ve not heard Peter Dunworth’s valuation model for Bitcoin (frankly, what are you doing with your life), go back and listen to episodes 70 and 77, but although he’s been spruiking it all over town and asking someone to challenge it, no one has...until now.
We, completely unfairly inv...
Jesse (@Jessenostr) is a cafe owner (Rise Mofo in Toukley) and former pastor based on the Central Coast in NSW, Australia. This one was an absolute pleasure to do. I hope you get as much from it as we did. We hope we offend you all at least once. Deal with it, it’s fine.
We discuss:
Emerging from the Bitcoin wilderness

Jeremy Majid is the CEO of the Australian Bitcoin Industry Body www.bitcoinindustrybody.org.au whose mission statement is:
“To serve as a voice for the Australian Bitcoin Industry. We welcome open and constructive dialogue with Government and Media and are available to assist with any and all Bitcoin related matters.”
There will be sceptics amongst you (I’m one of them), but not about the intentions of ABIB, more the willingness ...
If you don’t know what they are, whatever you do, don’t look it up or listen to this podcast.
There is no one that can segue from high voltage power transmission to upper decker’s and back quite like Daz Bea. Yes, what’s happening in our world right now is damn serious, but we all need to find the fun in it too and that’s why we keep asking Daz onto the pod.
He brings a wealth of knowledge around electricity, net zero targets, i...
www.breez.technology has been around for a while, and to be honest I didn’t know much about it, so when Ivan reached out to have a chat it seemed like as good a time as any to start learning.
Located in Sofia, Bulgaria, Ivan (@Nackoo2000) is the Chief of Staff (Chief of Stuff) and first non-developer to work for Breez. He’s my favourite type of bitcoiner...the ones that are here for the mission first, knowing the money will t...
Some would call it Karma. The more you try to do good, the more good seeks you out.
We started the Kids Art Competition with a modest 200,000 Satoshi’s to give away and our fingers crossed, but at time of writing, that prize is now 1,222,047 sats. Cool, right (thanks to all the supporters).
We also got an e-mail from Scott and Mallory Sibley, whose daughter Charlotte wanted to enter the competition, and they wanted to add a ...
We start with a quick shill for the Australian Bitcoin Industry Body’s petition for the RBA to hold 2% of assets in Bitcoin. More details at:

CLOSING DATE FOR SIGNATURES IS 12 JULY 2023.

Brendo and I are golfers...not great golfers, bu...
We've had a lot of smart guests recently, which is great, but sometimes your brain needs a break and just needs to listen to Brendo (yeah ok...me too).
In this pod we address all the low-brow issues of the day like:
Brendo not washing for 5 years and wasting so many sats on fixing a shitcoin tiler’s mistake.
How should we vett guests
Family feuds
The art competition prize up to 837,000 sats!
Anyone we’ve met in person will verify that my hair isn’t one of my strengths. Brendo would claim it’s one of his, but that’s a matter of opinion. So, you’d be forgiven for wondering what the hell we’re doing talking to a hairdresser on the podcast.
Frankly, if you’d asked us a month ago if that would ever happen, I imagine a hearty laugh would have been the response. But...a month is a long time in Bitcoin!
Aaron reached out...
Do you have a creative kid? Are you always talking about Bitcoin? Could they create a piece of art that is their interpretation of what it is you go on about all the time?
To celebrate reaching 100 shows on the 2-Bit Idiots podcast, we’ve decided to run a Kids Art Competition and give away 50,000 sats to the winners in each age group.
The Rules
While most of us spend years trying to convince our cousin/sibling/mum that we’re not crazy and that “it might make sense just to get some in case it catches on”, there are others among us that are operating at an altogether higher level. Samson Mow is one of those people.
As the CEO of JAN3, he’s working on nation-state adoption and accelerating hyperbitcoinization, but he didn’t set out to do that, it just happened one day.

It's like buses. You don't see one for ages and then 2 come along at once! But seriously, Christmas dinner at the Dunworth’s must be an interesting experience.
Michael is the time travelling bitcoiner, that has locked Bitcoin in 2140 to ensure miners still have an incentive to mine even once the final block reward is issued. That’s a great story – it's a wonderful story – but you may have heard it at Bitcoin Alive, a...
Paul is a husband, dad, business owner and now bitcoiner, based in Victoria, Australia.
We first met at a BitcoinBushBash (are you noticing a theme) in 2022, again at Bitcoin Alive in 2023 and now he joins us on the pod to tell his story.
This one will resonate with business owner/operators who have had to navigate through a difficult few years, since that thing which we cannot mention and the government overreach in respon...
We’re testing ourselves. We’ve been around this sausage-fest so long that we’re not sure if we can still talk to girls.
But we outright refuse to do it for diVersiTY’s sake. Meritocracy in all things. And quite frankly, this young woman is way ahead of most of you guys.
Once Brendo got passed his awkward giggling, we discuss:
The Scottish accent being better than the Aussie

Bitcoin sends you off in directions you never dreamed you would go. In the next couple of weeks, I’ll be helping Roger at a woman’s wellness Bitcoin chocolate making session. A bunch of words I never thought I’d use in the same sentence! But here we are.
Roger is first and foremost a lovely guy, but he also has a unique story...so let’s tell it:
We discuss:
The origins of his pseudonym

We’re telling a story. We didn’t set out to tell a story – in fact we rarely set out with any coherent plan – but we’re telling a story, nonetheless.
This is Owen’s story.
He’s an Aussie with a background in organic farming certification. We first met at a Bitcoin Bush Bash in 2020, visited his farm in 2021 (Episode 22), spoke to him from his El Salvador scoping trip in May 2022 (Episode 43) from next door to Mrs Bukele (Epi...
