Dave Bradley joins the show to tell us all about Bitcoin in Calgary, Alberta, including the Bitcoin Rodeo conference coming up in July, plus much more!
Key Takeaways:
🔹Bitcoin Brains was one of the first physical Bitcoin stores in Canada, and Dave Bradley played a significant role in building the Bitcoin community in Calgary.
🔹The political climate in Canada, particularly the divide between Western Canada and the federal government, has led to frustration and a sense of being ignored by the government.
🔹The diversity and cultural differences within Canada, particularly between provinces, contribute to the challenges of governance and decision-making at the federal level. There has been a significant transfer of wealth from Western Canada to Eastern Canada over the last 30 years, with Alberta being the most affected province.
🔹The rise of woke culture in Canada has led to a shift in political dynamics and a growing dissatisfaction with the current government.
🔹Bitcoin has the potential to play a significant role in Alberta's future, with the possibility of putting Bitcoin on the province's balance sheet and leveraging its energy industry for Bitcoin mining.
🔹Bitcoin aligns incentives and allows individuals to act in their own self-interest while benefiting the greater good.
🔹The Bitcoin Rodeo conference is in Calgary on July 2-3, just before Stampede - use code FREEDOM for a discount!

Dr. Ahmad Ammous joins us to talk about fiat medicine and how Bitcoin can fix it!
Key Takeaways:
🔹The healthcare system is broken and focused on profit rather than patient care.
🔹The opioid epidemic is a result of pharmaceutical companies pushing dangerous drugs for profit.
🔹The medical system is controlled by centralized agencies that promote pharmaceutical medicine and suppress alternative treatments.
🔹The history of medicine in the US is connected to the creation of the Federal Reserve.
🔹The placebo effect is a powerful factor in medicine.
🔹Sunscreen may not be as beneficial as believed and could have negative effects.
🔹A free market approach to healthcare could lead to more diverse and effective treatments. Fiat medicine prioritizes profit over patient health and suppresses alternative treatments.
🔹The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the flaws of the medical system, including the manipulation of statistics and the focus on pharmaceutical solutions.
🔹Understanding one's own body and taking control of personal health is crucial for overall well-being.
🔹Bitcoin has the potential to improve the medical system by enabling direct doctor-patient relationships and reducing the influence of third-party intermediaries.

Key Takeaways:
- Data transactions, such as JPEGs and token transfers, contribute to fee spikes in Bitcoin.
- High fees are necessary to price out spam and non-essential transactions.
