Orange Pill Order
He walked away from 17 years in the heart of the global financial system — foreign exchange desks, voice brokerage houses, the City of London, Singapore — to travel the world with his wife and four kids, world-school his children, write a book, and start one of the biggest Bitcoin podcasts on the planet. This week, we sit down with Daniel Prince, host of Once Bitten, and the conversation does not disappoint. Daniel takes us inside the reality of financial markets most people never see: central banks publicly devaluing currencies, governments printing money in secret, and why the people of Indonesia would rather hold US dollars than their own currency. He connects all of it directly to Bitcoin — and to why our generation might actually be the most primed to understand it. We also get into world schooling vs the traditional education system, the concept of time preference and why it matters for teenagers, the origin story of Once Bitten, and what it really means to Choose Life. If you've ever felt trapped by a system that wasn't built for you — this one's for you. ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — Welcome & intro 00:37 — Daniel's 17 years in banking: foreign exchange, voice brokerage, the City of London 02:09 — Starting out at 19 on the Dollar-Mark spot desk at Tullet & Tokyo 06:05 — The Bentley story: nearly wrecking two directors' cars on day two 15:56 — The Euro arrives, the spot desk disappears, and moving into options 17:34 — Why Daniel went to Singapore and what it taught him about money 19:38 — Indonesian locals refusing their own currency: the first glimpse of fiat failure 22:20 — What a pint of beer in 2009 tells you about inflation today 23:24 — Inside the engine room: what they don't teach you in school about how money works 24:21 — Bank of Japan intervention: watching a central bank devalue its own currency live 30:32 — Reading The Four Hour Workweek and deciding to leave it all behind 32:54 — Pulling the kids from school, world schooling, and three years of home swapping 41:05 — "When are you coming back to real life?" — the moment Choose Life was born 43:02 — How leaving finance sent Daniel down the Bitcoin rabbit hole 45:09 — Gen Z's version of the rat race: school, social media, and stolen time 49:18 — Is the education system broken?
