They discuss his experience with the Freedom Convoy movement and the consequent protests in Ottawa in 2022. BJ tells the story of how he got into Bitcoin and blockchain technology slowly but surely during his time at Ryerson University. The pair discuss the nature of politics in Canada and the up-and-coming conservative politician Pierre Poilievre. Brad and BJ talk about their experience learning about how the money supplies work and who runs them behind the scenes. The two wrap up the show with a discussion about Roger Ver and his anti-Bitcoin antics, as well as how the cryptocurrency space differs significantly from the Bitcoin space.

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.
