Living 100% on Bitcoin, Nostr & Nature - Paul Keating | Ep. 140

About this episode

Paul Keating discusses living entirely on a Bitcoin standard and the development of freedom tech with Nostr.

Paul Keating is building freedom tech with Primal, a Nostr client that puts digital sovereignty back in users' hands. Based in Costa Rica, Paul lives entirely on a Bitcoin standard as part of Bitcoin Jungle, one of the most vibrant circular Bitcoin economies in the world. A surfer, new father, and tireless advocate for freedom-first technology, Paul joined me at Bitcoin 2026 in Las Vegas for a conversation that has been a long time coming. We covered what a truly sovereign life looks like day to day, how Bitcoin and Nostr function as nature's response to broken money and broken social media, the open protocol future Primal is building toward, and the upcoming Bitcoin Jungle documentary - Hummingbird. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.
