In this episode I speak with Vijay Selvam, author of Principles of Bitcoin, to explore the deeper ideas behind money, Bitcoin and the economic shifts shaping our future.Vijay begins by reflecting on his early memories of money and how those experiences influenced his thinking about value, savings and financial systems. From there, we examine the historical evolution of money, from commodity money and Gold to modern fiat systems and why he sees Bitcoin as the natural next step in that progression.We discuss the challenges of Bitcoin adoption, including why many people struggle to understand its value, and the kinds of economic shocks that might accelerate global awareness. Vijay also shares his perspective on how emerging technologies like AI could reshape employment and economic structures, and why hard assets such as Bitcoin and gold may become increasingly important in an uncertain future.The conversation also explores the rise of Bitcoin treasury companies, market psychology, and the potential role of regulation as Bitcoin continues to mature. Throughout, Vijay offers a thoughtful framework for understanding Bitcoin not just as a technology, but as a new monetary system.

In this episode, Molly Spiers reflects on her early memories of money and how she joined Coincorner over 11 years ago (despite having no knowledge of Bitcoin at the time). She explains how discovering Bitcoin shifted her understanding of fiat currency, value and long-term economic thinking.

We discuss the evolution of Bitcoin businesses, the challenges of marketing Bitcoin in a changing landscape, and the role mainstream media has played in shaping public perception. Molly highlights the urgent need for stronger financial education and why understanding money itself is foundational to Bitcoin adoption.

In this episode, I sit down with my mate Myles to explore his journey from early memories of money to building (and eventually exiting) a successful plumbing business.

We discussed his transition into Bitcoin, how it reshaped his investment mindset, and how his conviction grew along the way. He shared candid i

The conversation went deeper than Bitcoin price and utility. We explored the rapid evolution of AI alongside Bitcoin, and how faith, morality, and Christianity intersect with his understanding of money and sovereignty. He offered thoughtful reflections on Bitcoin as a tool for refugees, the future role of churches in a Bitcoin world, and how his beliefs about work, purpose, and life balance have evolved through this journey.

By the end, this episode became less about price and more about principles, examining how Bitcoin can influence not just wealth, but worldview, faith, and the way we live.
