Episodes

  1. EP100 Not Out

    Thanks Idiots It's been...emotional. Onwards. #Bitcoin

  2. EP99: For The Kids - Bitcoin Art Competition Winners

    This is the big one! Today, we put some Bitcoin (1,432,047 Satoshis to be precise) in the hands of kids. It’s theirs, they own it, and we don’t have any say in how they save it or spend it. I’ll not spoil the results here, but I do have some thankyous to give. The Artists and their Parents Bowdog...

  3. EP98: Weekend at Bernie's

    We’ve always wanted to do an “Orange Pill Live” episode, to test our abilities in answering the questions of a precoiner and to see if (during the course of a podcast) we could convince someone to buy themselves their first Bitcoin. That was the intention of this episode, but in the time it’s…

  4. EP97: Dunworth Squared

    *** Get your first 3 months free with The Bitcoin Adviser when you use referral code "SECURE" at www.thebitcoinadviser.com/contact If you’ve not heard Peter Dunworth’s valuation model for Bitcoin (frankly, what are you doing with your life), go back and listen to episodes 70 and 77, but although...

  5. EP96: The Purest Truth We’ve Come Across with Jesse

    Jesse (@Jessenostr) is a cafe owner (Rise Mofo in Toukley) and former pastor based on the Central Coast in NSW, Australia. This one was an absolute pleasure to do. I hope you get as much from it as we did. We hope we offend you all at least once. Deal with it, it’s fine. We discuss: Emerging from...

  6. EP95: ABIB, Banking, Scams and Conspiracy with Jeremy Majid

    Jeremy Majid is the CEO of the Australian Bitcoin Industry Body www.bitcoinindustrybody.org.au whose mission statement is: “To serve as a voice for the Australian Bitcoin Industry. We welcome open and constructive dialogue with Government and Media and are available to assist with any and all...

  7. EP94: Reverse Kanga’s and Upper Deckers with Daz Bea

    If you don’t know what they are, whatever you do, don’t look it up or listen to this podcast. There is no one that can segue from high voltage power transmission to upper decker’s and back quite like Daz Bea. Yes, what’s happening in our world right now is damn serious, but we all need to find…

    more
  8. EP93: Life’s a Breez with Ivan Makedonski

    www.breez.technology has been around for a while, and to be honest I didn’t know much about it, so when Ivan reached out to have a chat it seemed like as good a time as any to start learning. Located in Sofia, Bulgaria, Ivan (@Nackoo2000) is the Chief of Staff (Chief of Stuff) and first...

  9. EP92: Bitcoin Karma with Scott, Mallory and Charlotte Sibley

    Some would call it Karma. The more you try to do good, the more good seeks you out. We started the Kids Art Competition with a modest 200,000 Satoshi’s to give away and our fingers crossed, but at time of writing, that prize is now 1,222,047 sats. Cool, right (thanks to all the supporters). We…

  10. EP91: Can 88 Bitcoin Maxis Buy a Golf Course with MirbooHodl

    We start with a quick shill for the Australian Bitcoin Industry Body’s petition for the RBA to hold 2% of assets in Bitcoin. More details at: https://www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/petition/EN5167 CLOSING DATE FOR SIGNATURES IS 12 JULY 2023. For more details, listen to this discussion with Dale and...

  11. EP90: The Million Dollar Giveaway - Hats and Brendo

    We've had a lot of smart guests recently, which is great, but sometimes your brain needs a break and just needs to listen to Brendo (yeah ok...me too). In this pod we address all the low-brow issues of the day like: Brendo not washing for 5 years and wasting so many sats on fixing a shitcoin...

  12. EP89: Who Has the Best Hair with @btcessex

    Anyone we’ve met in person will verify that my hair isn’t one of my strengths. Brendo would claim it’s one of his, but that’s a matter of opinion. So, you’d be forgiven for wondering what the hell we’re doing talking to a hairdresser on the podcast. Frankly, if you’d asked us a month ago if that...

  13. EP88: Kids Art Competition (SPECIAL)

    Do you have a creative kid? Are you always talking about Bitcoin? Could they create a piece of art that is their interpretation of what it is you go on about all the time? To celebrate reaching 100 shows on the 2-Bit Idiots podcast, we’ve decided to run a Kids Art Competition and give away 50,000...

  14. EP87: Orange-Pilling Countries with Samson Mow

    While most of us spend years trying to convince our cousin/sibling/mum that we’re not crazy and that “it might make sense just to get some in case it catches on”, there are others among us that are operating at an altogether higher level. Samson Mow is one of those people. As the CEO of JAN3…

  15. EP86: Another Bloody Dunworth with @MichaelDunwort1

    It's like buses. You don't see one for ages and then 2 come along at once! But seriously, Christmas dinner at the Dunworth’s must be an interesting experience. Michael is the time travelling bitcoiner, that has locked Bitcoin in 2140 to ensure miners still have an incentive to mine even once the...

  16. EP85: The Wellington Elbow with @Bitkiwi1 and @satstothemoon

    Lurk on Twitter – Tick Attend a BushBash – Tick Wearing the Bitcoin Alive T-Shirt – Tick What next - Maybe it’s time for you to cross the ditch? We sit down Paul and Dan (2/3 of the Bit Kiwi movement) to find out exactly how things are in New Zealand (Paraparaumu) at grass roots level, the…

    more
  17. EP84: Building Resilience into your Business with @Paulbuybtc

    Paul is a husband, dad, business owner and now bitcoiner, based in Victoria, Australia. We first met at a BitcoinBushBash (are you noticing a theme) in 2022, again at Bitcoin Alive in 2023 and now he joins us on the pod to tell his story. This one will resonate with business owner/operators who...

  18. EP83: How to Make Bitcoin a Lifestyle with @mary_imasuen

    We’re testing ourselves. We’ve been around this sausage-fest so long that we’re not sure if we can still talk to girls. But we outright refuse to do it for diVersiTY’s sake. Meritocracy in all things. And quite frankly, this young woman is way ahead of most of you guys. Once Brendo got passed his...

  19. EP82: Satoshi ‘73 with @roger__9000

    Bitcoin sends you off in directions you never dreamed you would go. In the next couple of weeks, I’ll be helping Roger at a woman’s wellness Bitcoin chocolate making session. A bunch of words I never thought I’d use in the same sentence! But here we are. Roger is first and foremost a lovely guy,...

  20. EP81: Seize the Day with @beefbackbetter (Chapter 4)

    We’re telling a story. We didn’t set out to tell a story – in fact we rarely set out with any coherent plan – but we’re telling a story, nonetheless. This is Owen’s story. He’s an Aussie with a background in organic farming certification. We first met at a Bitcoin Bush Bash in 2020, visited his...

  21. EP80: Bitcoin Alive After Party

    Are you home? Did you survive? A huge shout out to @lungdoge, @dylanhashmurray and Jess (the @BitcoinAlive team) for putting together a fantastic first Bitcoin Only conference for Australia. We’re yet to speak to someone who didn’t enjoy the day, and the opportunity it gave so many solid…

    more
  22. EP79: Smart as Saylor – Hats and Brendo

    It’s been all interviews the last little while, so we thought it was about time we burned our listener stats and did another Hats and Brendo. It’s largely inane waffle, but there’s some good stuff in there too, including: Why Brendo takes his shorts off in my house. Bitcoin Alive When: 15th April...

  23. EP78: Behind Enemy Lines with @Dale21M

    (Pushing this one out quickly for those making the trek to Beechworth. Have a great weekend) Those of you that pay attention (or those that attended the last bush bash at Murrurundi) will recognise Dale from there, but for those that don’t, we wanted to have him on the pod to give us an insight...

  24. EP77: Crazy Numbers with @PeterBTCAdviser

    PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Please listen til the end as Pete will blow your tiny mind. We spoke with Pete just a few short weeks ago (EP70) about what high-net-worth clients think of Bitcoin. You liked him. Actually, you liked him a lot. A lot of you tuned in... thank you. We got nowhere near…

    more
  25. EP76: Bitcoin Mining with Renewables in NZ with @simonocollins

    There’s nothing a bitcoiner enjoys more than bursting a mainstream narrative. If we really are “bOiLinG tHE oCEans”, why is it that Simon and his colleagues at www.Stackr.co.nz are Bitcoin mining with renewable energy and providing stability to the electricity grid in New Zealand’s South Island.…

    more
  26. EP75: Empty Passenger Seat with @JoeMartinMusic

    Bitcoiners branching out into other industries is great, but what I really want to see is people in other industries adopting Bitcoin. I’m particularly keen for musicians, athletes and sports teams to figure this out (shout out to Perth Heat for leading by example). That's why I was very excited…

  27. EP74: Bitcoin Alive FOMO Update with @lungdoge and @dylanhashmurray

    When: 15th April 2023 Where: The Roundhouse, Sydney Tickets: www.bitcoinalive.io Discount: 10% off with codes HATS or BRENDO at checkout With less than 6 weeks to go, we catch up with the boys from Bitcoin Alive (Chris and Dylan) to find out how the planning for Australia’s first big-scale…

  28. EP73: Bear Market Crickets with @dazbea1 and Special Guest

    3 is the magic number. 4, and we talk all over each other (I’m probably the worst at it). But hey, we wanted to have a special guest and we got a special guest. We just didn’t count on the crickets! This episode contains the following ramble: Non-existent pods Sydney sleeping arrangements Diet…

    more
  29. EP72: Talking the Corn with @GazLarking

    I finally stepped out of Brendo’s shadow and did one of these interview thingies by myself. Turns out the tech side is way easier than he makes it sound! The problem though, is that Gary (Gaz) and I can talk the corn! I think it was 3 hours 53 minutes to be precise, but don’t worry we only…

    more
  30. EP71: Can I Speak to Your Manager - Hats and Brendo

    It’s easy to talk a big game. Backing it up is harder. However, what we’ve found over the last 7 years, is that the closer you align yourself with Bitcoin, the better things turn out. Look at all aspects of your life; health; work; relationships; family; education et al and apply the Bitcoin...

  31. EP70: What the High-Net-Worth think of Bitcoin with @PeterBTCAdviser

    Peter Dunworth, runs a multi-family office and leads The Bitcoin Adviser, offering tailored Bitcoin investment services to high-net-worth clients. Specialising in Collaborative Custody, Estate Planning, and Bitcoin Education, he's a trusted guide in the complex world of Bitcoin. Engage with Peter...

  32. EP69: Paging @Terla

    We tried to give away 111,000 sats but Terla hasn’t got in touch! Terla...are you out there? Call me. DM me. Swipe right. Anyway...Happy New Year bitcoiner. It’s good to be back. Just Brendo and I today talking shit and helping you pass the time until hyperbitcoinisation, or at least until next...

  33. EP68: Christmas Doxx Jar Giveaway

    The Bitcoin conversation in this one is minimal at best, but there are free sats to be won, so you might have to listen to find out if you’re the winner! Thanks to everyone that’s contributed to the podcast this year. Guests, listeners, boosters, sat streamers, trolls, people that gave us gifts,...

  34. EP67: Bitcoin Alive – Saturday, April 15th, 2023 – Sydney, Australia

    The list of large-scale Bitcoin only events is growing all over the world, but we didn’t have one in Australia. Until now. Quick Links Twitter @BitcoinAlive @dylanhashmurray @lungdoge Website www.bitcoinalive.io Frustrated by the time and expense required to attend the conferences overseas…

    more
  35. EP66: The Bitcoiner Next Door with @plebHODLBadger

    We live in the sticks. We’re happy living in the sticks. You couldn’t pay us enough (even sats!) to live in the city. The problem with living in the sticks, however, is that you may be the only bitcoiner. That was true until Brendo came along. 2 of us fighting the good fight. But...it turns out…

    more
  36. EP65: Murra Roundup

    This is our light-hearted take on the Bitcoin Bush Bash in Murrurundi, NSW. It was just as expected. A few words that spring to mind: Welcoming. Old friends. New friends. Honest (sometimes brutally). Intellectually Stimulating. Steak. Beers. Art. Proof of Work. Growing. Committed. Humble.…

    more
  37. EP64: Hats and his Weird Questions - Hats and Brendo

    It’s nearly Bush Bash time again, so here’s one for the road. On the agenda today: Welfare checks from your postman Weird questions Sugar is the biggest shitcoin Lightning node problems The friend that will tell you when you look like shit Why citadels won’t work Our favourite bush basher Are you...

  38. EP63: Fly Ninja - Hats and Brendo

    Possibly our best work. Definitely Brendo’s. Other than Fly Ninja we cross off the latest big topics: The Albury Shushing Conference The FTX shitshow Solvency, Liquidity and Contagion Fiat term deposits are the same as staked shitcoins Bank runs Learning hard lessons Holding your own Bitcoin…

    more
  39. EP62: While We Wait with @danWilcz

    Bitcoin is a game of patience. Daniel has been here a while and has shown more patience than most. Founder of HardBlock.com.au – Australia's oldest Bitcoin only exchange – he's stayed true to his principles since finding Bitcoin in 2013. There have been hurdles and challenges along the way.…

    more
  40. EP61: Back Again with @beefbackbetter

    It’s great having new guests on to tell us how they found their way to Bitcoin or explaining what they are doing in the Bitcoin ecosystem, but it’s also interesting to follow a story and see the progress over time. Owen is an example of the latter. We first met at the OG Bitcoin Bush Bash in...

  41. EP60: Guess Who's Back - Hats and Brendo

    Life’s been busy, but thanks for sticking around and waiting for us to put out another pod. Thanks also to Brisket and Daz for stepping up with some quality content while we were away. Reasons (excuses) and topics today include: Did we miss each other? Getting out of your bubble The Twitter detox...

  42. EP59: What to do if You Can’t Afford Bitcoin – Hats and Brendo

    We’ve all got that friend that “can’t afford Bitcoin” or says, “it’s too risky”, right? Well, this episode is for them. Please forward it on to them and we’ll talk them through risk free and no cost ways to earn Bitcoin (sats). Links to all the ways discussed in this episode can be found at:...

  43. EP58: The Pan-demic, Beef, and Health Insurance

    Hats is away and Brendo don't do show notes. Suffice to say, and as you'll hear, this was an easy ep to record... Pod Shout-outs https://twitter.com/modernTman https://twitter.com/dazbea1 https://twitter.com/BTCBrisket https://twitter.com/FossGregfoss www.2bitidiots.com

  44. EP57: 2 Itty Bitty Idiots

    Even if we get Morpheus himself, these 2 will always be our favourite guests. Today, we welcome Itty and Bitty (our daughters) onto the pod to tell us what they know about Bitcoin, how annoying Bitcoin dads are and to give a kid's perspective on all these things we keep going on about. I think…

    more
  45. EP56: Bitcoin 4 India with @AbhilashNair11

    We were wrong. We keep doing pods with plebs from all over the world looking for how things are different where they are. And the answer is always...they’re not. Brendo even broke into “We Are the World” (sorry). This week it was our pleasure to chat with Abhilash Nair (Abi) from Hexa Wallet...

  46. EP55: Learn to Love the Bear - Hats and Brendo

    We’re back where we belong. My dingy garage. But, we do have a piece of art on the wall now. It’s a $50 note that we’re calling “nostalgia”. No guest this week I’m afraid, just Brendo asking stupid questions and then humouring my ranting responses. We cover: Modern art. That banana. Remembering...

  47. EP54: The Dabbling Path with @MeyrickDabs

    I know, I know...we’ve been slack. More accurately, I’ve been slack, and Brendo’s been pulling his weight (I know right!). Feeble excuse given in the pod. Sorry. But we’re back, and you’ll be pleased to hear we have a guest. Meyrick kindly invited us on to his pod (Meyrick’s Dabbling Path) a…

    more
  48. EP53: Finding your Conviction with @RHodlr

    Let’s be honest. HODLing through a bear market is difficult. But you know what’s more difficult...coming in at the all-time high, and still HODLing. Rauri (twitter.com/RHodlr) is a relatively new bitcoiner (he’s just approaching his 1st anniversary), but he has a rock-solid conviction and we…

    more
  49. EP52: The Saddest Episode Ever – Hats and Brendo

    We’ve had a review...and it’s not good. To be fair, it was good for Brendo and shit for me. You can’t please all of the people all of the time. We’ll try to please some of the people some of the time. Other than our mediocrity, we discuss: Brendo’s best ever tweet First-hand experience of…

    more
  50. EP51: Dox Fest – Hats and Brendo

    The quality of guests on the Australian Bitcoin Podcast hit a new low this week, so we thought we’d drop one at the same time, to go head-to-head with Justin. Hope this gives the bitcoiners heading home from Yeppoon some low-brow content after having your brain tested over the weekend. We…
