"What Are You Building For?" | Journey Over Legacy w/ Adam O'Brien

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 17:04:51 GMT

Can Bitcoin change more than your finances?

In this episode of Life with Bitcoin, btcviv / Ivy Lumi sits down with Adam O’Brien — entrepreneur, early Bitcoiner, and founder of Bitcoin Well — to explore a deeply personal journey of transformation through Bitcoin and faith.

What begins as a conversation about money unfolds into something much deeper: responsibility, humility, spirituality, and the search for truth.

Together, they explore:

⚡ how Bitcoin reshapes personal responsibility

⚡ the unexpected connection between Bitcoin and faith

⚡ ego, humility, and spiritual growth

⚡ sovereignty vs. surrender

⚡ relationships, love, and living with intention

Adam shares how his Bitcoin journey led him toward biblical understanding, and how faith became an anchor in navigating both life and the principles Bitcoin reveals.

This is not a conversation about ideology — but about lived experience, personal change, and what happens when you start asking deeper questions.

Bitcoin Doesn't Fix THIS with Mel, Bitcoin Creator & Producer

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 18:30:04 GMT

Bitcoin changes money - but it doesn’t automatically change people.

In this episode of Life with Bitcoin, btcviv sits down with Mel, a long-time Bitcoiner and active voice on Nostr, for a grounded conversation about culture, responsibility, and how time in Bitcoin shapes the way we relate to others.

Together they explore:

⚡ what Bitcoin culture reveals about human nature

⚡ respect, accountability, and earning your place

⚡ how people change (or don’t) over time

⚡ men, women, and human dynamics in Bitcoin

⚡ Nostr, authenticity, and showing up without algorithms

This conversation is less about opinions and more about lived experience - a reflection on what Bitcoin can influence, and what it can’t fix for us.

You Are Responsible For Your Own Healing w/ Roberto Rios, aka Peruvian Bull

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 19:47:23 GMT

What happens when you stop hiding and choose to show up fully — in Bitcoin, in work, and in life? In this episode of Life with Bitcoin, btcviv sits down with her guest, Roberto Rios, aka Peruvian Bull, to explore the deeply personal decision to step out from behind a pseudonym and into public life.

Together, they unpack the emotional, professional, and philosophical implications of identity, authenticity, and growth in a world shaped by #finance , #technology , and constant noise. This conversation moves beyond charts and headlines into the human side of #Bitcoin — where credibility is built through integrity, relationships matter as much as ideas, and personal resilience becomes the real long-term strategy.

From #macroeconomics and #history to mental health, #healing , and #purpose , this episode is a reminder that “fixing the money” is only one part of the work. If you’ve ever wrestled with fear of judgment, struggled to balance logic and intuition, or questioned what authenticity really costs — and gives back — this episode is for you.

In this episode, we explore:

Going public after years behind a pseudonym
Identity, authenticity, and credibility in the Bitcoin space
Why anonymity can both protect and limit growth
The role of upbringing, curiosity, and self-education
Balancing macro analysis with storytelling and meaning
Signal vs. noise in a chaotic information landscape
Bitcoin’s promise — and its limits — as a societal solution
Personal resilience, mental health, and responsibility
Facing inner darkness as part of self-discovery and healing
Why the process of growth matters as much as the outcome

Integrating Bitcoin as Our Best Mirror w/ Uncle Rockstar Dev, in Hong Kong

Tue, 16 Dec 2025 20:35:25 GMT

In this in-person episode filmed in Hong Kong, August 2025, btcviv sat down with Uncle Rockstar Dev for a deep, human conversation about Bitcoin, identity, trauma, and the untapped potential within each of us.

This episode goes beyond technology or price talk. It looks at the inner journey that often begins when someone discovers Bitcoin. As Rockstar shares, “Bitcoin is not the answer, it’s the key”—a key that can unlock parts of ourselves we’ve ignored, suppressed, or underestimated.

One line stayed with me long after we wrapped:

“Bitcoin is not the answer, it’s the key.”

Not a promise that Bitcoin will fix your life… but an invitation.

A doorway into understanding yourself more deeply, questioning who you are, and exploring who you could be.

Through that lens, we dive into:

🔍How Bitcoin becomes a catalyst for examining old wounds and limiting stories

⚖️The relationship between technology, identity, and personal growth

*⃣How past trauma shapes the way we approach risk, autonomy, and possibility

🚇Why Bitcoin can serve as a gateway to new opportunities and new versions of the self

🫂How engaging with Bitcoin can surface deeper questions about who we are becoming

This episode looks at the human side of Bitcoin — the internal transformation that begins when you stop asking what Bitcoin can solve and start asking what it can reveal.
