Show Notes

Agustin Kassis is a Bitcoin developer, entrepreneur, and founder of La Crypta in Buenos Aires, Argentina. As a self-taught programmer since age 11 and serial entrepreneur with seven startups, Agustin discovered Bitcoin in its first years. This conversation explores Argentina's unique position as a potential Bitcoin adoption leader, shaped by decades of currency destruction, hyperinflation, and distrust of government institutions. We dive deep into the grassroots Bitcoin movement in Argentina, the role of La Crypta as an education and community hub, and how Argentinians' natural rebellion against monetary systems creates fertile ground for Bitcoin adoption. Agustin discusses the...

I’m heartbroken too and have survivor guilt. I’ve been in this space for just under two years and by a stroke of luck, I chose a different hardware brand. It could have been me and as thankful as I am that it wasn’t, I almost wish it was. FUCK THEIVES!!! I’m still bullish as hell and am going to beef up my security. The pain in you and Marty’s demeanor was felt so powerfully, not just through the sense of hearing, but the 6th sense of empathy. Don’t beat yourselves up… y’all are amazing and inspirational. Love you and everything you’ve done for this revolution. We’re still gonna win 👊🧡

I have to admit that I often forget to zap because I listen to podcast during my hour and a half long commute and then I forget by the time I get to a stopping point. Although much of this is over my head I’m trying to learn as much as I can and this one definitely inspired me to really take action on starting up a meet up in my area. Thanks!

Excellent rip, not enough OT though. This was very helpful and just at the right time since I’ve been debating between which product to get. And I didn’t know about the router. Donation made and on the list to eceive the first one. This was a great kick in the butt to get my home system started. And I can’t wait for the cameras to come out. Thanks y’all!

“I’m a fan of all shitcoins in hindsight because at least they’re building them on other chains” was a great quote. I am a new listener and not sure how I have missed this podcast after being in bitcoin for a year and a half now. Thanks for the great interviews and all the hard work!

Yesterday I had a hack attempt Where someone called saying they were with one of my bitcoin wallets and that there was some suspicious activity they needed to clarify. Over the weekend That same Wallet sent a notification asking if I was trying to change my phone number or something and I said no. So, it seemed kind of legit… they were very educated and they talked for a while and told me where the login attempt was, in another country, and that they were using a different email address which was actually a former employer address of mine. They gave me a ticket number and asked me to type it in with the Wallet domain name afterwards and it took me to a site that looked like that wallet’s site. It asked me about 3 yes / no questions about the login attempt and then it asked me for a 12 words seed phrase to detach my wallet just in case something happens… I kind of already figured something was up but that was when I ended the call and then they called back telling me that if I don’t unhook that wallet they would not be liable for any loss. So I hung up again and of course sent an email to the helpdesk for that Wallet and verified that it was in fact a hack attempt. They are getting better and better, so be wary! Thanks for everything you do to educate everyone! 🙏🙏🙏

Great rip! I listened to this little late since I was traveling and I’m trying to catch up. Not just on podcasts, but all the technology you’re talking about here and on RHR, etc. I am only about 15 months into this whole Bitcoin/freedom tech rabbit hole and it is a bit overwhelming for an GenXr who’s busy learning how to get out of the fiat world while working a full time fiat job. In regard to the friction you feel when checking out and not wanting to have a conversation with the barista, I got you… I’m trying to orange pill everyone I can so I actually ask every single cashier if they take bitcoin just to plant the seed and every now and then a conversation is spawned.

Great interview! I heard another one with Keonne the other day and I’m glad that you asked a bunch of different questions that helps understand some of the nuances. In my mind, this case against him ridiculous and unjust. I’m gonna sign the petition and forward it to other others. Your book came in the mail the other day but I had to finish Alex Gladstein‘s “Check your financial privilege” first. (That was an amazing book!) I’m a couple chapters into yours and I’m enjoying it while learning even more about bitcoin. My father was Polish and left in 1940 on foot so it’s interesting to hear your family’s story That took place decades later. Thanks for everything you’re doing! I’m so hopeful for the future 😌

Ich höre natürlich ganz geheim jede Folge, um den Frauenanteil konstant hochzuhalten 😉 Aber eigentlich höre ich den Podcast nur wegen der zarten Stimmen von @npub17fqtu2mgf… und @npub1cveqgafqv… Ein paar Haushaltstipps dürft ihr trotzdem gern noch einbauen, dann kann ich mir alles mitschreiben und sogar noch was lernen.

Finally wrapped up this killer episode! Max, as always, what an interview—such a pleasure listening to you both! It truly felt like I was sitting right there with you. I was laughing so much, especially towards the end—that last part was gold. Totally agree on making onboarding as easy as possible, then upscaling without dumbing it down too much. We all have to put in the work! Best statements @npub1j8y6tcdfw… “And the best way to become a developer? Just don’t. 😅” "Values your privacy more than your health"—now that’s a hell of a statement. I’m officially sliding into your DMs to hang out when you’re in Vegas. 😂

Somehow I think this recording got mixed up with the interview a few days ago with Roberto Rios… It just started playing as the next podcast and I didn’t look at it for a couple minutes once I realized I had already heard it before. Maybe it’s just my phone though?

    This came at the perfect time since I’ll be in Buenous Aires next week for a few days! I look forward to visiting there for my first time and to see how the blue (land orange) markets work.

    I’ve sat in that living room so many times. Listening to the two of you honestly felt like being right back . I’m still amazed by what Argentina has been through. I remember how shocked I was the first time I heard about the black markets… truly couldn’t believe it until I experienced it myself. Loved that you got a tour through the old German house. And the story of LaCrypta is as unique as its founder: it will always feel like home to me. Argentina and Germany share a very special bond. @npub1qv02xpsc3… the flags are still hanging in the house 🇦🇷🇩🇪 Must watch.
