Show Notes

Obi Nwosu is the CEO and co-founder of Fedi. In this episode, Obi explains how Bitcoin can uplift billions by creating new forms of community-based finance, why privacy is the dividing line between freedom and surveillance, and how tools like Fedimint and Fedi are re-engineering what custody means for the world. Obi also warns that if Bitcoin drifts toward convenience at the cost of freedom, it could become the surveillance system it was designed to escape. The only way to protect financial liberty is to build systems that are decentralized and private. THANKS...

first you educated me in the self sovereign, KYC-free BTC way, then you introduced me more broadly to freedom tech, now you are guiding & encouraging me to adapt to AI. This is not enough value to express my thanks, one day there will be more

Seedless is safer is an attack on Bitcoin. Bitkey makes totally reasonable tradeoffs for noobs with modest stacks. But this is dishonest marketing at best.

Thanks for the value. My fountain stash ran dry this month, so now, post pay cheque, I'm returning some value, wish I could send more. Please keep distilling the major btc topics, threats, human rights news etc for those of us stuck (for now) in the fiat mines.

Mid and upper models of Flair Espresso maker are plastic free in the brewing areas and around $400-500. Tradeoff is it’s manual but that is just more proof of work. Pair with a metal hot water kettle and you’re all set.

You deserve more V for your V, but I'm facing some personal liquidity challenges at the moment. Where I work, they stopped hiring SW graduates a few years ago. I don't think they planned to switch to AI, it was just a desperate measure. Now they're pivoting hard to agentic coding.

High production quality, high value, as always. This was a perfect reminder of the real value of BTC & the seductive distractions of 'first world' problems/propaganda.

Thanks for the high signal, here's a small amount of value in return. I'm a few shows out but PLEASE stay audio focussed. Visuals (e.g. notes on your nostr account) as an add-on would be a bonus but I'm finding I have to stop, dry/clean my hands multiple times per show where they've leaned more heavily into video. It's frustrating, when I've hit a rhythm in some tedious chore, and am successfully transported to realms of self-sovereign contemplation / education, to have to stop what I'm doing and drop back into reality to work out what on earth they're talking about! It makes the task seem longer and I enjoy the show a bit less. Anyway that's my view. Thanks for all the work you put in.

Loved this episode (even if the food security topic has my mind racing). Does Jon or the farm have a lnurl so we can send them an unsolicited zappy donation? If not, would you be able to take the time to set him up on primal (or another solution) so we can show our support, the best way, for this self-sovereign farmer?

    This was great. The conversation on the privlage of self custody was great.

    I LOVED this interview. It's so inspiring to hear about freedom tech projects advancing in the shadows. I had the pleasure/opportunity to test fedimint at a workshop at Bitcoin Atlantis. The Fedi team impressed me there & this interview revealed how hard they've been working. I'm feeling really bullish about community custody (& I don't service my car beyond screen wash, wiper blades & an occasional oil change!), particularly in the under-banked / unbanked communities.

    A lot of exciting topics from Obi on this one - financial privilege checked - importance of battle hardened btc software - private vs public custody - $50 entry on self custody excludes billions of people - many people are doing self custody and shouldn’t be - Fedi improvements, mini apps, and more noise in the near future
