EP62: While We Wait with @danWilcz

2-Bit Idiots

Bitcoin is a game of patience. Daniel has been here a while and has shown more patience than most.

Founder of HardBlock.com.au – Australia's oldest Bitcoin only exchange – he's stayed true to his principles since finding Bitcoin in 2013. There have been hurdles and challenges along the way. Brendo and I sat down with him to hear his story and seek his advice. It left us with plenty to consider. We discuss:

• What it’s like being in Bitcoin full-time for 9 years
• Starting a Bitcoin business 4 months after discovering Bitcoin
• Jumping in on the 2013 price spike, and being underwater for 2 years
• Coming from a computer system engineering and economics background
• His rapid fall down the rabbit hole
• Never really having a “real job”
• Seeing a Bitcoin therapist
• Being part of a social revolution
• Managing risk in a Bitcoin business
• Being de-banked more than 20 times
• Building a service you’re happy to recommend to family and friends
• Encouraging customers to self-custody
• Shitcoin casinos
• Can you build a Bitcoin only business and why
• Industry bodies
• The ethics of advertising
• How you reach decisions
• Can a business outperform Bitcoin
• Local not global
