Summary
In this episode, we sit down with Jake Seifert, co-founder of Air BTC, a Bitcoin-first travel platform helping hosts earn sats and travelers spend them in the real world. We talk about why “Bitcoin-native” travel matters, the power of circular economies (from El Salvador to Costa Rica), and how real-life community, policy, and better incentives can move Bitcoin from cold storage to everyday life. Jake shares how a personal pain point wanting to accept Bitcoin for his own short-term rentals became a business that offers lower fees than legacy platforms, white-glove onboarding, Lightning/on-chain payments, Bitcoin-back rewards, and even fun experiments like in-property Bitaxe solo-mining perks. This one’s about ownership, usage, and building parallel rails you can actually live on.
