nrc29 | How to find your place in the Bitcoin industry with Flo Montoya Flo Montoya works with Love Is Bitcoin and Panties for Bitcoin, but it took her a minute to find her place(s) in the Bitcoin industry. Flo is classically trained as an artist, but when she realized it was difficult to find work in this field, she learned how to do marketing via social media and applied her artistic skills via this avenue. We discuss this, how Flo's family members were actually the ones who taught her about Bitcoin and other topics in the interview.

nrc28 | Can the Próspera + Bitcoin model save Honduras? Zussel Abigail Ramos thinks so. 02/23/2024

nrc28 | Can the Próspera + Bitcoin model save Honduras? Zussel Abigail Ramos thinks so. Zussel is a resident of Próspera — a start-up city located in Honduras — who lives on a bitcoin standard and teaches Bitcoin through Amity Age — the oldest Bitcoin education program in Central America. And based on my conversation with Zussel, her life seems pretty good! So, can this city in which taxes are low and personal freedoms are high combined with bitcoin being legal tender become a model for the rest of Honduras? This is the big question, and Zussel's answer is "yes." Check out the interview and leave a comment if you think Zussel is onto something.

nrc27 | The importance of free and open societies with Jorge Jraissati 02/15/2024

nrc27 | The importance of free and open societies with Jorge Jraissati Some of us take for granted the fact that we can speak freely, transact with who we please and pursue our dreams. Others — like Jorge Jraissati, who had to flee his home country of Venezuela for fear of persecution — understand very well that certain freedoms are not a given and that we must fight to establish and preserve them. And this is what he does as Director of Alumni for Liberty, a branch of Students for Liberty, which promotes the ideals of Classical Liberalism around the globe. Through both Alumni for Liberty and his work as a researcher, lecturer and writer, Jorge works to spread the message of free minds and free markets. His recent efforts include educating government officials, policymakers and international regulators of how important Bitcoin is to activists around the world. We discuss this and much more in the interview. Enjoy!

nrc19 | Bitcoin for African women: Edith Mpumwire and Mary Usaji are Bitcoin Dadas Bitcoin Dadas don't play. "Dada" is Swahili for "sister", and the Bitcoin Dada program — which is based in Kenya, but serves women all over Africa — not only helps to financially empower women, but to create a sisterhood among those who participate in the program. In this interview, we speak with two recent Bitcoin Dada graduates — Edith Mpumwire of Uganda and Mary Usaji of Kenya — who share why Bitcoin is particularly important for women and how it helps people in their respective countries. In the second part of the interview, we also do a role play in which I (Frank, the host of the podcast) pretend to be a Bitcoin skeptic and these two ladies convince me why I'm wrong in calling Bitcoin a scam. We had an absolute blast recording this, and we deeply hope that you enjoy listening!

Kind, patient, and compassionate, she's a prized addition to the team at Mi Primer Bitcoin — a program in El Salvador that educates public school students about Bitcoin. She's also quickly becoming a spokesperson for both Mi Primer Bitcoin and El Salvador as she's traveled as far as Hong Kong to represent both the institution she works for and her country at Bitcoin conferences. Reyna is the type of person we love to put a spotlight on here at new renaissance capital, because she both embodies and represents the idea that Bitcoin can be a tool for human flourishing.

nrc16 | The importance of service, gratitude and values with Valentin Popescu of Motiv Perú Valentin Popescu has a very big heart. You'll see what I mean as you listen to him talk about the people he serves in Perú through his NGO, Motiv Perú. Through Motiv Perú, Popescu not only raises funds in bitcoin but teaches those her serves how to use Bitcoin as a tool. However, he's the first to acknowledge that Bitcoin in and of itself doesn't fix everything. He understands that we need teachers to explain what Bitcoin is and how to use it. And even after teaching Bitcoin, he believes that we need to instill in people a sense of gratitude and a set of values that will help them thrive as they become empowered financially.

His projects, Gorilla Sats, a Bitcoin educational platform, and Bitcoin Kampala, a Bitcoin circular economy in Uganda, have begun to garner attention from the international Bitcoin community because of the effort that Brindon has put into both of them. In this interview, we talk about how "Bitcoin is much more than just 'number go up'".

Put another way, Willem's company Botanix is building a Layer 2 on Bitcoin on which bitcoin (BTC) will be used instead of ether (ETH) when transacting on the dApps, DEXes, etc. that currently exist on Ethereum. And the best part is, no changes will need to be made to the base layer of Bitcoin in order for this new functionality to exist.

nrc07 - Bitcoin: Not just boys' fun, with Lorraine Marcel of Bitcoin Dada Lorraine Marcel believes that if we're ever going to reach hyperbitcoinization, women are going to need to be a part of the Bitcoin space. Hence she started Bitcoin Dada ("Dada" means "sister" in Swahili) to educate the young women or Kenya, and now other African countries, about what Bitcoin is and how to use it. She also recently hosted the launch party for Machankura Kenya, which was a smashing success. She claims that some her courage and boldness in hosting this launch party as well as starting Bitcoin Dada came from the creator of Bitcoin his/her/theirself — Satoshi Nakamoto — as she wants to help fulfill Nakamoto's vision for a currency that everyone in the world can use to transact with each other permissionlessly.
