| 6/23/26 | ![]() Bitcoin, Permaculture, and Real Wealth | In this episode of the newly rebranded Becoming Sovereign podcast, host Brandon Karpeles sits down with Steve Martin, the founder of Bitcoin Beans. Steve tracks his radical lifestyle transformation from working as a corporate accountant in London to living on a functioning permaculture farm in Colombia, exploring what it truly means to apply the principles of proof of work to the food we put into our bodies.They dive into a fascinating first-principles discussion on how the departure from the gold standard directly triggered the "enshitification" of global agriculture, forcing industrial complexes to use toxic preservatives and empty calories to hide monetary inflation. Steve also shares the unique history, science, and medical benefits of pure, untampered cacao, explaining why the open-source Nostr marketplace is building a parallel economy grounded in human connection and true quality.In this episode, we cover:• The Becoming Sovereign Mission: Why taking absolute accountability over your personal health, household inputs, and local supply lines is the foundational step toward human autonomy.• The Accountant to Farmer Pipeline: Steve shares how an abrupt termination from a high-status corporate job in London opened a doorway to discovering local agriculture and permaculture in Colombia.• The Science of Real Cacao: A look into the differences between processed cocoa powder and raw cacao blocks, focusing on theobromine, healthy fats, and why pure cacao acts as a smooth, long-lasting fuel source.• The Fiat Food Trap: How central banking and state-subsidized crops (like corn and seed oils) structurally corrupted the human diet, creating highly addictive, nutritionally empty foods that mask true inflation.• Capturing and Storing Energy: How the 12 core tenets of permaculture design flawlessly mirror the economic structure of a long-term Bitcoin standard.• The Nostr Marketplace Revolution: How decentralized protocols are reconnecting consumers directly with elite artisans—from custom leather straps and raw ghee to hand-pressed olive oils.Connect with Steve Martin & Bitcoin Beans:• Website: bitcoinbeans.co (Note: .co for Colombia)• Nostr: bitcoinbeans@primal.netConnect with Brandon & Sovreign:Website: sovreign.ioLinkedIn: Brandon KarpelesNostr: @plebiAnonX: @sovreignBTC | — | ||||||
| 6/15/26 | ![]() Daniel Prince on Once Bitten, Worldschooling, and the Battle for Bitcoin Core | In this episode of the Becoming Sovereign podcast, host Brandon Karpeles reconnects with Daniel Prince, host of the Once Bitten podcast and author of Choose Life. They take a deep dive into what it truly means to break away from state-mandated narratives—from abandoning an 18-year career in traditional financial services to separating your children's education from the state through worldschooling.They also pull back the curtain on the corporate side of the ecosystem, launching into a highly critical, first-principles critique of the current digital asset treasury craze. Finally, they address the highly contentious debates surrounding Bitcoin Core version 30 and explain why running a personal node remains the ultimate check on centralization.In this episode, we cover:• Leaving the TradFi Lodger Life: Daniel shares how Tim Ferriss’s The 4-Hour Workweek shook him out of an 18-year corporate career to travel the world with his wife and four kids.• The Worldschooling Journey: The raw reality of facing family backlash when choosing to unschool your children, and how finding an alternative "tribe" mirrors the early days of Bitcoin.• The Illusion of 'Trapped Capital': A brutal teardown of reverse-merger penny stocks and sketchy corporate yield products, exposing the financial engineering trying to complicate a simple "buy and hold" strategy.• The Core Dev vs. User Soft Fork War: A deep look into the centralization risks within current Bitcoin development circles, Hodlnaut’s Capture essays, and why the ambivalent majority must cast their vote by running an independent node.• The Franchise Matrix: Why corporate franchise models are inherently extractive, and how Steak 'n Shake completely blew the doors off the industry by accepting Lightning payments.• Building Local Circular Nodes: Brandon shares his experience building out a localized economy through the Chicago Bitcoin Collective, from buying farm beef to getting haircuts paid entirely in sats.Connect with Daniel Prince:• Podcast: Once Bitten• X/Twitter: @princi21m• Nostr: princey@primal.netConnect with Brandon & Sovreign:Website: sovreign.ioLinkedIn: Brandon KarpelesNostr: @plebiAnonX: @sovreignBTC | — | ||||||
