Bitcoin Sports Network Podcast

In this episode of the Bitcoin Sports Network Podcast, Max Kaiser sits down with Jimmy Song—Bitcoin developer, educator, author, and self-proclaimed "token Asian" in the Bitcoin space. Broadcasting live from El Salvador during the Max and Stacy Golf Invitational, Jimmy delivers a masterclass on everything from helicopter rides and liberation theology to the degradation of property rights under fiat money.Fresh off a five-minute helicopter ride to Zante (which took longer to order a Coco Max than to fly there), Jimmy dives deep into why "fiat money ruins everything"—from the flying cars we were promised to the warm collectivism that keeps seducing downwardly mobile sociology majors in expensive cities.The conversation covers Jimmy's books "Bitcoin and the American Dream" and "Thank God for Bitcoin," the surprising demographics of Bitcoin ownership (black Americans own Bitcoin at higher per capita rates than white Americans), Max's Kaiser Report audience connection to black liberation theology, and why Bitcoiners just want the "least smart" products possible—mechanical cars, dumb beds, and true property rights.Jimmy also discusses the cultural shift Bitcoin creates: from suburban isolation back to neighborhood proximity, from software-as-a-service bed subscriptions to actual ownership, and from envious collectivism to the genuine warmth of respecting each other's property rights. If you're interested in the intersection of Bitcoin, race, class, philosophy, and why envy is the worst sin (thanks, Charlie Munger), this conversation delivers intellectual fireworks.About Jimmy Song- Prominent Bitcoin developer and educator- Author of "Programming Bitcoin" and "Bitcoin Tech Talk" host- Co-author of "Bitcoin and the American Dream" and "Thank God for Bitcoin"- Has taught thousands of developers worldwide about Bitcoin- Known for making Bitcoin accessible (and not being obviously autistic)- Bridges barbecue culture in Austin with Coco Max culture in El Salvador- Advocate for true property rights over software-as-a-service dystopia- Token Asian in diverse Bitcoin advocacy groupsEpisode Highlights:- The helicopter ride to Zante: Five minutes that explains everything wrong with fiat- Peter Thiel's quote: "They promised us flying cars, we got 140 characters"- Why Jimmy Song is the only non-autistic Bitcoin developer- Max and Stacy learned everything about Bitcoin from Jimmy- The Core vs. Knots debate: Jimmy seems to be the only guy not on drugs- "Bitcoin and the American Dream": Helping regulators understand Bitcoin- Charlie's Angels for Bitcoin: A diverse group writing for politicians- Black Americans own Bitcoin at higher per capita rates than white Americans- Kaiser Report demographics: Young black men and liberation theology- Max's presentation style borrows from Muhammad Ali and the Black Panthers- Why funk, jazz, and civil rights shaped Max's Bitcoin advocacy- "Thank God for Bitcoin": Christianity meets sound money- The degradation of property rights: Your bed as software-as-a-service- Internet-connected cars that can be disabled remotely- Bitcoiners want the least smart products: Mechanical cars, dumb appliances- The collectivism trap: Downwardly mobile elites seeking status- $40K sociology degrees in $120K cities breed socialist resentment- Charlie Munger on envy: The sin with no benefits- Women, security, and the seductive warmth of collectivism- El Salvador's security transformation enables genuine community warmth- True collectivism: Property rights that let everyone do their business- Bitcoin's destiny: Fixed supply, increasing demand, perfect scarcity- What we think is normal is actually fiat abnormality- Suburban isolation vs. neighborhood proximity: The human scale- Natural law as the regulator: What Western civilization is based onConnect with Jimmy Song:Connect with us:Website: https://www.bitcoinsports.network/Twitter/X: https://x.com/BSN_EventsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bsn_events/

 Live from the Max & Stacy Invitational 2026! Max Kaiser sits down with Lina Seiche—creator of The Little Hodler comic series, head of marketing at Bean of Fire coffee, and a driving force behind El Salvador's groundbreaking financial education program. Broadcasting from El Salvador, Lina shares her unexpected journey of becoming one of Bitcoin's most influential creative voices.What started as anxiety-reducing comic strips has evolved into a multi-faceted Bitcoin education empire. Lina discusses how she went from creating adorable Bitcoin plushies (in a male-dominated finance space where "from a business perspective it was probably really stupid") to developing the world's first nationwide public school Bitcoin curriculum—currently being piloted with 1,000 students and rolling out to all Salvadoran children.But Lina's work extends beyond education. She's transforming 500+ schools from "4 walls and a roof" into inspiring learning environments designed for self-directed education. She's marketing presidential coffee brand Bean of Fire with subliminal advertising prowers. And she's doing it all in a country where, as she puts it, "you can just do things."This conversation explores why a German nerd who lived in a dozen countries chose El Salvador, how Bitcoin maximalism translates into children's books, and what it means to find purpose in a place where "all the currents are aligned towards a better future." If you're interested in Bitcoin education, creative entrepreneurship, or what happens when an optimistic government meets ambitious Bitcoiners, this episode is essential listening.About Lina SeicheCreator of The Little Hodler, a globally recognized Bitcoin comic seriesHead of Marketing at Bean of Fire, El Salvador's presidential coffee brandCo-developer of "What is Money?"—the world's first nationwide public school Bitcoin curriculumDesigner and project lead for El Salvador's school transformation initiative (500+ schools)Self-described "Bitcoin maximalist" who "doesn't care about anything other than Bitcoin"Former digital nomad who lived in a dozen countries and traveled to 40+German-born "nerd" who found her purpose in El SalvadorBeliever in self-directed learning and creating inspiring educational environmentsCreator of Little Hodler plushies (proving business assumptions wrong)Episode Highlights:The accidental birth of The Little Hodler comic seriesHow social media anxiety led to creative breakthroughMaking Bitcoin maximalism accessible through storytellingWhy plushies in a male-dominated finance space actually workedThe "What is Money?" book: Bitcoin education for 7-year-oldsWorld's first nationwide public school Bitcoin curriculumTransforming 500+ Salvadoran schools into learning sanctuariesThe philosophy of self-directed education and rabbit-holingWhy El Salvador exports its premium coffee instead of selling locallyFinding purpose after living in a dozen countries"Common sense leadership" vs. governments you're embarrassed byHow childhood books shape character (Are You My Mother?)The longest German word and what it actually meansWhy things in El Salvador happen "5 times faster" than expectedProgress, optimism, and good news vs. constant government embarrassment"You can just do things" culture in El SalvadorChapters:0:01 - Welcome to Bitcoin Sports Network and introducing Lina Seiche1:41 - Accidental viral success with no business plan whatsoever2:17 - Bitcoin maximalism made subtle through character storytelling2:52 - The plushie revolution: Making toys in a male-dominated finance space3:35 - Why the "stupid" business choice worked: Families, pets, and secret plushie lovers4:09 - "What is Money?" book: Bitcoin education for glue-eating six-year-olds4:52 - Moving to El Salvador, meeting Stacy, and the project that grew from 1 to 5 books5:36 - World's first nationwide public school Bitcoin curriculum launching6:33 - Bitcoin Historico breakout and the 500 school transformation vision8:44 - Creating inspiring environments vs. Max's "gulag chic" aesthetic9:53 - Self-directed learning philosophy: Building rooms where kids teach themselves11:48 - Subliminal advertising mastery: "You're manipulating my subconscious!"12:45 - Coffee recipes, marketing team, and the Cocoax premium14:43 - Bean of Fire's US export market and the Lena Sachet concept15:38 - Future focus: First 21 classrooms scaling to 500, then thousands16:34 - German nerd background and the longest word challenge17:39 - El Salvador's leadership environment and 5x faster development18:34 - Living in a dozen countries: Where all currents align toward progress19:43 - Finding purpose, not being embarrassed by government, and final thoughtsFollow Lina on X: https://x.com/LinaSeiche Connect with us:Website: https://www.bitcoinsports.network/Twitter/X: https://x.com/BSN_EventsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bsn_events/ 

In this episode of the Bitcoin Sports Network Podcast, Max Kaiser and Stacy Herbert sit down with Gabriel Campa, Head of Digital Assets at Towerbank International, Inc. Broadcasting live from El Salvador during the Max and Stacy Golf Invitational 2026, Gabriel shares how Towerbank is pioneering the integration of Bitcoin and traditional banking services across Central and South America. With an unconventional background in architecture rather than finance, Gabriel brings a unique perspective to solving banking's oldest problems. He explains how Towerbank realized traditional banking was "exhausted"—trapped in expensive, restrictive patterns that haven't changed in decades. Their solution? Ikigii, the world's first platform that seamlessly connects digital assets and traditional banking, allowing users to convert between Bitcoin and US dollars in seconds, access Bitcoin-backed loans in minutes, and maintain full control of their assets. Gabriel discusses Tower Bank's $10+ million in Bitcoin-backed loans (with zero liquidations), why El Salvador is becoming an investable market again, and how Panama has been a Bitcoin banking leader in Central America. He also addresses the challenges of regulatory compliance, the future of retail operations in El Salvador, and why US customers don't need their services (hint: they already have dollar access). If you're interested in the intersection of traditional finance and Bitcoin, how Bitcoin-backed lending actually works, or why Central and South America are hungry for better banking options, this conversation provides invaluable insights into the future of financial services. About Gabriel Campa Head of Digital Assets at Towerbank International, Inc.Architecture background, not traditional financeLeading Bitcoin and blockchain integration since January 2022Pioneering new markets across Central and South AmericaOversees $10+ million in Bitcoin-backed loansCreator of Ikigii platform connecting Bitcoin and traditional bankingAdvocate for user-controlled financial productsFrequent traveler expanding Towerbank's global Bitcoin operationsEpisode Highlights:Why traditional banking is "exhausted" and needs disruptionTowerbank's early adoption of Bitcoin in Central AmericaBitcoin-backed loans: $250,000 in 5 minutes with no credit checksHow architectural thinking applies to building new financial systemsThe I.M.
