Farms The Fed and Fiat

Most people think the Federal Reserve is a government agency. It isn't — and the story of what it actually is may be the most important thing you learn about money. In EP009, Steve begins a multi-part series summarizing G. Edward Griffin's landmark book, The Creature from Jekyll Island — written in 1994 and more relevant today than ever. We cover Section 1: six chapters that reveal who created the Federal Reserve, why they did it in secret, and what it means for your money and your family's future. This is for Seekers — people who found Bitcoin later in life and are still piecing together the bigger picture. No hype. No jargon. Just honest conversation about honest money.

Invest in Bitcoin or Convert Your Savings

When people say they're 'investing in Bitcoin,' they're often assuming they'll one day sell it back for dollars. But what if that's the wrong frame entirely? In this solo episode, Steve breaks down why fiat currency isn't neutral, how the Cantillon Effect quietly shifts wealth toward those closest to the money printer, and why Bitcoin isn't a trade to exit — it's a standard to live by. You'll learn: • Why 'invest in Bitcoin' may be the wrong question • What the Cantillon Effect is and why it matters • What building on a Bitcoin standard actually looks like • Why starting small still matters — and how to begin

Bytes, Qubits and Bitcoin

Quantum computing headlines are back — and this time there's a new twist: a Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP 361) published in April 2026 could make some Bitcoin permanently unspendable if owners miss a migration deadline.   In this episode, Steve and Greg break down what quantum computing actually is, how far away a real threat is, what BIP 361 proposes and why it matters, and — most importantly — what you can do right now to protect your stack.   You'll learn: • Why your Bitcoin address type affects your quantum exposure • Why never reusing addresses matters more than ever • Why BIP 361 crosses a line Bitcoin has never crossed before • The stewardship question every Seeker should be able to answer

HardMoney-Easy Stacking

What makes money truly sound — and is Bitcoin the real deal? In Episode 6, Steve and Greg walk through the six characteristics that define sound money: scarcity, durability, divisibility, portability, fungibility, and resistance to counterfeiting. Then they make the case for why Bitcoin is the only non-centralised sound money in existence today. Then they turn to something practical: the Fold App. If you want to start accumulating Bitcoin through your everyday spending — groceries, coffee, gift cards — Fold is one way to do it. But is it worth it? Steve and Greg give you the honest answer, including the pros, the cons, and who it's actually a good fit for. Whether you're just starting to explore Bitcoin or you've been stacking for a while, this episode gives you both the foundation and a practical tool to move forward.
