In Argentina, currency collapse forced people to understand money. In New Zealand, we’re too comfortable to ask where inflation comes from. In this episode, Francisco Colombo from Bitcoin Journey joins me to unpack how Bitcoin is being used in Queenstown’s Bitcoin Basin: not as a speculative bet, but as a real, working alternative to cash. We cover self-custody, why Bitcoin passes (or fails) the classic tests of money, how New Zealand’s tax treatment shapes everyday use, and why this is ultimately about self-sovereignty, not “number go up.”
If you’re Bitcoin-curious but haven’t done the research yet, come along this week in Auckland to get some free education.
