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 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.

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
