In this episode, I sit down with Robin Thatcher to explore his unique journey into the world of finance, accountancy, and...dare I say it... cryptocurrency.
We start by looking back at Robin’s early memories and attitudes toward money, and how key influences and role models helped shape his financial mindset.
Robin shares how he made the transition 'crypto' accountancy - with a particular focus on Bitcoin - and offers insights into how the landscape of accountancy is shifting to accommodate this new asset class. He also shares his views on current and future HMRC treatment.
The conversation turns toward the potential role of Bitcoin in addressing economic crises, concerns about the future of state pensions, and the risks posed by government intervention. We explore the barriers to wider Bitcoin adoption, the uncertain future of SIPPs and taxation, and finish by evaluating Bitcoin treasuries and discussing the future of the UK Bitcoin community.

In this episode, I sit down with James for an honest and insightful conversation that spans career shifts, money mindset, and Bitcoin. We kick things off with his journey from working in IT to becoming a mental health counsellor.
We dive into his childhood experiences around money, how they shaped his spending habits, and how the current cost of living crisis is impacting people’s mental and financial well-being. James opens up about his early experiences with Bitcoin.
James also shares why he chose to invest in the Smarter Web Company, what that journey has been like, and how Bitcoin treasuries are emerging as a serious investment strategy. We wrap up by exploring how building a community around Bitcoin investment can offer more than just financial returns, and how our relationship with money can profoundly shape our careers, mental health, and life decisions.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with GG, a fellow podcast host and a deep thinker in the Bitcoin space.
GG shared some powerful personal stories — from experiencing the Cyprus financial crisis to the spiritual transformation that came with embracing Bitcoin. We explored the psychological shifts that come with self-custody, the risks and rewards of Bitcoin loans, and why he believes Bitcoin isn’t just a financial tool, but a path to greater freedom and personal responsibility.
We also dove into practical strategies for securing your Bitcoin, preparing loved ones to take the reins, and why introducing Bitcoin to friends and family is both a challenge and an opportunity.

In this episode, I sit down with former England cricketer Tim Bresnan for a fascinating conversation that goes far beyond the pitch. We start with Tim’s early memories of money and how his mindset around wealth began to form. He shares his transition from amateur to professional cricket and why financial education is so often overlooked in sport.
Tim explains how he discovered Bitcoin, what initially caught his attention, and how it’s shaped his approach to investing. We dive into his personal strategies including crypto and trading psychology.
We also discuss the role of financial advisors in sport, the increasing interest in Bitcoin among athletes, and the importance of educating the next generation.
This is an honest, eye-opening chat about money, mindset, and how athletes (and the rest of us!) can take more control of their financial futures.

In this episode, I meet Fred Jollien, a passionate Bitcoiner from Switzerland, to explore his personal journey into the world of Bitcoin. Fred sold me his ticket to Bitcoin Prague because he's expecting his first born child and can no longer make it - a random connection that has resulted in yet another great connection for me within the Bitcoin space.
We reflect on his early memories of money and the unique tax landscape in Switzerland that affects Bitcoin holders. Fred shares his perspective on Bitcoin adoption in wealthy nations, the gradual shift in awareness, and how he distinguishes Bitcoin from the broader crypto space.
We discuss the cult-like behavior in communities—whether it’s Bitcoiners or football fans—and how changing minds can be an uphill battle. We also explore the practical realities of living on a Bitcoin standard, including the impact of volatility.
Fred stresses the importance of self-custody, planning for the future, and even touches on the growing Bitcoin scene in Prague. Hopefully he'll be back at Prague in 2026 and I'll get to meet him face to face!

This episode shows how early we all still are - even someone as busy and well known globally in Bitcoin circles will spare an hour to talk to an unknown podcaster from the UK!
Our conversation delves into the evolving world of Bitcoin advocacy, tracing its intersection with politics, legislation, and financial freedom. Dennis gives insight into legislative efforts supporting Bitcoin, growing political engagement, and the importance of educating lawmakers.
We also explore global perspectives, including lessons from El Salvador, observations on the UK and the shifting narratives around Bitcoin and energy use, all through the lens of the Satoshi Action Fund’s mission and the great work they continue to do.

My conversation with Jeremy weaves together money, career, purpose, and Bitcoin. We start with his early influences on financial thinking and trace his path from law to coaching, exploring how those transitions shaped his approach to life and work.
Jeremy shares how he discovered Bitcoin and why it became such a pivotal part of his worldview—not just as an investment, but as a reflection of deeper principles like conviction, risk, and long-term thinking. We also dive into his coaching journey, the misconceptions around following your passion, and how he thinks about helping people find their ikigai—that sweet spot where purpose and practicality meet.
Throughout the conversation, we touch on themes like independence, curiosity, human potential, and what it means to build a life aligned with your values. Whether you're curious about Bitcoin, career shifts, or the inner workings of great coaching conversations, there’s a lot to take away from this one.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Lynne about her incredible journey from a career on Wall Street to becoming a passionate advocate for Bitcoin. We started by talking about her early memories of money and how those experiences shaped her path into finance.
Lynne opens up about the moment she started questioning the system she'd spent years working in, and how her fascination with the technology behind Bitcoin pulled her in deeper. She talks candidly about the importance of self-custody, and the personal growth that came with stepping away from Wall Street.
We also explore how Bitcoin has shifted her values, the challenges she’s faced along the way, and her vision for where things are heading—from innovations in infrastructure and micropayments to the surprising ways Bitcoin and AI might intersect.
Lynne brings a thoughtful, grounded perspective to the conversation, and it was inspiring to hear her views and vision!

I meet Adam who has lead the way in Thames Ditton onboarding shops and vendors to get onboard with accepting Bitcoin payments.
"Bitcoin Pizza Day" is Thursday 22 May, marking the anniversary of the first real-world Bitcoin transaction in 2010, when programmer Laszlo Hanyecz famously spent 10,000 BTC (yes, really!) on two pizzas, highlighting BTC's first step into everyday commerce.
If you can, get along to Thames Ditton and support this great initiative to help raise awareness of Bitcoin to the public, the media and businesses throughout the UK in a positive and progressive way.

I met Jaden 'in real life' only last week but have been chatting with him for a while in a Bitcoin Telegram group - I thought his story would be an interesting one and was keen to have him on to help give more age diversity to my guest profile!

Nat's been in and around Bitcoin for years but is still developing wider adoption of Bitcoin in creative spaces and educational institutions alike.

Dan opens up about his journey from chasing financial success to finding purpose through personal resilience and Bitcoin. He reflects on early money mindsets, the toll of high-pressure finance careers, and a breaking point that forced a life-changing transition.
His time in Lebanon offered firsthand insight into the realities of hyperinflation and the strength of community under economic stress—experiences that reshaped his views on money and led him to explore Bitcoin as a tool for empowerment.
Dan shares how he now integrates Bitcoin into his work as a financial coach, helping others build resilience, understand self-sovereignty, and plan for a rapidly changing economic future.

I have been listening to Robin's daily (yes, daily!) Bitcoin podcast for a while now - before I'd even recorded a conversation he agreed to be a guest on my podcast; Bitcoiners are a generous bunch! I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation - he was incredibly open about his early years, discovering Bitcoin only through trying to prove it was a scam and how Bitcoin has shaped his outlook on relationships and life in general. It was awesome having Robin as a guest, I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.

This is a detour from the usual conversations I have with fellow Bitcoiners.
I appeared as a guest on 'Accountancy on Prescription' earlier this month - it's the podcast for RBP, an accountancy practice specialising in GPs. Increasinly GPs are asking about Bitcoin and 'Crypto', so I offered to help.
I give a basic overview of money, Bitcoin, Crypto, how to buy and more. For someone very new to Bitcoin with limited knowledge I think you'll find it informative. For a seasoned Bitcoiner this might be one to skip - or maybe consider sending to a friend or family member you think might find it useful?

Dan shares his early memories of money and his experience of relocating to the USA. He discusses diversifying between Bitcoin and traditional assets, the concept of Coast FI, and navigating homeownership in high-cost areas. Beyond investing, Dan explores finding purpose beyond work, Bitcoin’s role in wealth preservation, and its potential for generational wealth. The conversation touches on political perceptions, self-sovereignty, and Bitcoin’s accessibility. Finally, Dan reflects on the happiness paradox, financial education, and how his beliefs about wealth have evolved over time.
