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.  Brendo and I sat down with him to hear his story and seek his advice.  It left us with plenty to consider.  We discuss: What it’s like being in Bitcoin full-time for 9 years Starting a Bitcoin business 4 months after discovering Bitcoin Jumping in on the 2013 price spike, and being underwater for 2 years Coming from a computer system engineering and economics background His rapid fall down the rabbit hole Never really having a “real job” Seeing a Bitcoin therapist Being part of a social revolution Managing risk in a Bitcoin business Being de-banked more than 20 times Building a service you’re happy to recommend to family and friends Encouraging customers to self-custody Shitcoin casinos Can you build a Bitcoin only business and why Industry bodies The ethics of advertising How you reach decisions Can a business outperform Bitcoin Local not global Pod Shout-outs www.twitter.com/HardBlockBTC www.twitter.com/AusBitcoinPod www.twitter.com/BitcoinAdelaide www.twitter.com/AusBTCIndBody www.twitter.com/aantonop www.twitter.com/bitcoinbushbash Contact Us www.2bitidiots.com www.twitter.com/StackingHats www.twitter.com/BitcoinBrendo
