Bitcoin isn't just money—it’s a truth serum for your entire life. In this episode of the High Hash Rate Podcast, we sit down with Bearded Hodl to talk about escaping the fiat lie, self-sovereignty, decentralization, and why Bitcoin changes how you see everything. From his early days in Warhammer and Twitch streaming to becoming a full-blown Bitcoin maximalist, Bearded Hodl shares his journey into the orange pill rabbit hole, why fiat ruins everything, and how Bitcoiners need to stop the infighting and start building.
We also dive into Noster, Lightning, mining fees, ordinals, and why truth is the ultimate weapon. If you're tired of the fiat system and looking for a new way to see the world, this episode is for you.
