You stop being a fanatic. You become a realist. Then a pilgrim. That's the journey of Paco de la India — Indian traveler, Bitcoin nomad, and author of the upcoming book Proof of Work. In this episode of BitCorner Podcast, Paco shares what no conference talk or Twitter thread can: what Bitcoin actually looks like on the ground, from the Congo-South Sudan border to a Bitcoin circular economy in a South African township. From human rights activists in Ghana using Bitcoin to rescue refugees from pirates, to P2P traders in Kenya, to cypherpunks in Prague — Paco has seen every use case. And his verdict? Bitcoin is a tool. A human tool. And the humans using it are kind. This is the episode you send to someone who thinks Bitcoin is only for the wealthy West. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0:00 Bitcoin & activism: rescuing refugees with sats 1:15 Run With Bitcoin: 42 Countries 4:39 Lessons from the Bitcoin Journey 9:20 Global Bitcoin Use Cases 16:38 Challenges in Restricted Countries 23:15 Bitcoin in North America and Europe 27:16 Surprising Experiences on the Road 34:00 Paco de la India: The Journey's Origin 44:37 Update on Paco's Book: Proof of Work 51:51 Thoughts on El Salvador and Bukele 55:00 The Future of Satoshi's Bitcoin ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Connect with Paco: https://x.com/RunwithBitcoin ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🟧 SUPPORT THE SHOW ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🟦 Blo…","meta_description":"🎧 WATCH ON FOUNTAIN.FM & EARN SATS! ⚡ This episode PREMIERES FIRST on Fountain — earn sats while you listen. 🧠 Support independent podcasts.
