About this episode

Adam O'Brien discusses his journey with Bitcoin and the importance of financial independence for future generations.

In this episode of the Bitcoin Journeys podcast, I sit down with Adam O'Brien, founder of Bitcoin Well, to discuss his transition from early adopter to battling the banking system. Adam reveals shocking personal stories of financial censorship, including having his mortgage called and accounts frozen for simply using Bitcoin. We explore the critical shift toward true financial independence through self-custody and why Bitcoiners must "slay their heroes" rather than idolize influencers. Finally, Adam explains why Bitcoin isn't for you, but for your great-grandchildren
