And folks, we are live. I'll bring our special guest on in just a minute. I hope you guys really enjoyed today's episode. I definitely reached out into the audience with a

direct email to the reluctant holdouts within the within the community with Bitcoin because I think today's topic is going to kind of demonstrate that this is becoming more about technology than just about Bitcoin is something you buy and hold and is Bitcoin enabling the technology that kind of matches up with the segment I did last week on Thursday about the new goals.

This goal is using technology to hide in plain sight and to build things in an uninterruptible, unsensurable way. My guest today is going to talk to us all about that. He's an awesome dude and co-founder of Geyser, which is an app that is enabling cross-border, unsensurable crowdfunding. Just real quick, before I bring him on, I want to let you guys know about our sponsor the day-to-day. Recently, I added John Bush as a sponsor and he's got a really cool offer for you guys.

Today, in the realm of homesteading, which is a big topic here at the Survival Podcast and the Bitcoin breakout, he's putting on an online seminar. That means you can attend without actually leaving your house. It's 57 bucks and it is about budget homesteading.

John and Rebecca Powers are going to be covering stuff like how to grow pounds of fresh organic food any year around where you live on a tenth of an acre, suburban homestead, or even a cramped apartment.

Buying high quality food your family loves at bargain prices, at selected stores online and offline, where to shop, what to buy, tricks to use and more, strategically stocking and prepping enough food to feed you and your family during a blackout.

You name it, eliminating debt, slashing expenses, best part of all is if you get your ticket before this Friday, you also get two awesome bonuses, a workshop with Marjorie Wildcraft on how to grow half your food in your own backyard, and a workshop from Paul Wheaton on the Skip program.

Of course, Paul is also a sponsor, so many of you guys are familiar with him. With that, I want to go ahead and bring our special guest on.

And I don't want to butcher your last name, Mick. Mick Moracci, is that how I say it? Because I hate what somebody says, my last name wrong, but Mick Moracci, co-founder of Geyser, welcome to the survival podcast and the Bitcoin breakout, bro.

Oh, and thanks so much for inviting me. It's a pleasure and honor to be on it.

I honestly found out about you guys, and I think this is really interesting and where kind of layer three tech and apps are going is it's less competition and more collaboration between different entities instead of everybody trying to like grab their own piece.

I think everybody in this world has figured out like the more we do together, the more we build everything, the better for everyone, the rising tide and all boats, because I was using the breeze app as part of the value for value network for podcasting.

And I was like, I found their little point of sale app in there. I was like, that's really cool. And then I realized that they were like taking partners and nesting other naps, apps in theirs, and I found Geyser.

And I was like, oh, this is interesting, because for a very long time, I've been saying Bitcoin will eat everything. I know what I didn't know how.

And light has evolved to where like now I see it's good, like it is the Apex T-Rex in the room.

And one of the things I said that it would eat would be crowdfunding. And when I saw you guys are like, this is amazing.

And so I want to get deep into what Geyser can do with crowdfunding, cross mortars, uncensurable, but can we start off with?

Because I find everybody in this space, some point has their Bitcoin Genesis personal block, right? You got involved with Bitcoin.

How and why did you get involved with Bitcoin in the first place, Mick?

The Genesis story question is always interesting. For me, it was, I guess, alongside what a lot of other people say.

I first heard about it in 2010, in university, when a friend of mine inviting me over to his dorm, saying, hey, Mick, we're here with a friend. Let's buy some Bitcoin.

And I said, what the hell is this thing? I'm not interested. And so I rejected that offer, regressually.
