Exploring Brad’s Bitcoin Backstory

Exploring Brad’s Bitcoin Backstory

Author: Brad Mills September 22, 2021 Duration: 2:25:59
This is the second episode with Go Full Crypto podcast hosts Keegan Francis and Mrugakshee Palwe. I managed to do an in-person interview with them in my homeland of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The major focus of this podcast was on financial literacy and the structure of the financial system. Keegan and Mruga ask me lots of questions on my backstory. I got to tell stories from my past that give my audience an insight into why I have so much conviction for Bitcoin after bootstrapping my own financial wellbeing in my 20's. This was a really fun episode to film and you get to learn about the Bitcoin journey all three of us have been on.

Hosted by Brad Mills, Magic Internet Money is a conversation about Bitcoin from the ground up. Brad isn't a programmer or a Wall Street analyst; he's an early adopter who examines this technology through the lens of an everyday user. This perspective shapes the entire podcast, focusing on practical understanding over technical jargon. You'll hear discussions that frame Bitcoin as more than an investment-exploring its role as programmable money for the internet, a peer-to-peer cash system, and what many call digital gold. The show digs into why this open-source invention is viewed as a foundational shift, touching on its potential as an uncensorable tool for free speech and a new store of value. Episodes connect the dots between technology, personal sovereignty, and financial self-improvement, making complex ideas accessible. It’s for anyone curious about how Bitcoin intersects with business, technology, and daily life, presented without pretense. Tune in for straightforward talk about what this digital asset class means for the future, all from someone who believes it's the best form of money we've ever seen.
