A down-to-earth and impromptu catchup with HG, a local Bitcoiner from Christchurch who flew up to be at the Bitkiwi meetup in Wellington recently. We discuss Bitcoin in NZ, local initiatives, and who we think is the one kiwi we would like to see get orange pilled!
I speak with Ian from the Victorian Bitcoin Technology Club, a not-for-profit incorporated club supporting Bitcoin education and grassroots bitcoin adoption in the state of Victoria, Australia. We discuss the background to starting the club, how it acts as a backwards-compatible organisation for interfacing with the legacy world while also embracing Bitcoin principles. We also talk about the club’s mission, their plans for the future, and how they are trying to operate on a Bitcoin standard.
I talk with Paul from Bitkiwi, who are organising New Zealand’s premiere Bitcoin meetup events. We talk about focussing on Proof of Work in your personal life, unplugging from the utter distraction of legacy media, and really asking fundamental questions about the future state of government and society.
I talk with SJF, a Sound Artist based in the U.K. We explore questions about privacy and the panopticon of surveillance as we move on from the chaos of 2022, and how Bitcoin's Proof of Work ethos can help inspire and enable creative endeavours.
I talk with Dr. Simon Collins, founder of Stackr, a sustainable Bitcoin mining company based in New Zealand. We talk about NZ's unique renewable energy mix, the importance of miner collaboration, and future opportunities to integrate Bitcoin mining with industrial heat processes.
