It's the conversation founders don't get to have anywhere else. Think 60 Minutes, but for entrepreneurs. We sit down with the most interesting people in business and go past the highlight reel, past the pitch, past the polished version they give every other podcast. We go into the mud with them. The 2 a.m. doubts. The bet that almost ended everything. The moment they wanted to quit and didn't. You'll hear from household names like Gary V, Codie Sanchez, Rob Dyrdek, and Tom Bilyeu, and just as often from founders you've never heard of who are building something the world needs to know about. Either way, the goal is the same: a real conversation that makes you laugh, makes you think, and sometimes catches you off guard with how much it makes you feel. This is where the story behind the success finally gets told. This is \"Founder's Story.\"","last_synced_at":"2026-09-26T04:23:14.302086+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/founder-s-story-648906"},"episode":{"title":"Bitcoin Pioneer: I Was Paid 100 Bitcoin An Hour When It Was $10 | Ep. 443 with Charlie Shrem and Courtney Shrem \"Prince of Bitcoin\"","slug":"bitcoin-pioneer-i-was-paid-100-bitcoin-an-hour-when-it-was-10-ep-443-with-charlie-shrem-and-courtney-shrem-prince-of-bitcoin","published_at":"2026-09-14T14:39:07+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/founder-s-story-648906/bitcoin-pioneer-i-was-paid-100-bitcoin-an-hour-when-it-was-10-ep-443-with-charlie-shrem-and-courtney-shrem-prince-of-bitcoin","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/founder-s-story-648906","url":"https://bleav.com/shows/founders-story/","audio_url":"https://clrtpod.com/m/pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/1184/afp-969439-injected.calisto.simplecastaudio.com/a7765f3f-02e4-4ded-bca1-01a20b7f82a5/episodes/b832460a-b9f8-48b3-8861-2b303621f650/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=a7765f3f-02e4-4ded-bca1-01a20b7f82a5&awEpisodeId=b832460a-b9f8-48b3-8861-2b303621f650&feed=NVPdHs07","summary":"Daniel Robbins and Kate Hancock sit down with Charlie Shrem and Courtney Shrem for a raw conversation about Bitcoin’s earliest days, love, chaos, prison, resilience, and reinvention. Charlie reflects on becoming one of Bitcoin’s first major pioneers, helping build the early Bitcoin economy, becoming a founding figure in the Bitcoin Foundation, and then watching everything collapse when he was arrested at JFK. Courtney shares what it was like to meet Charlie during that wild chapter, make the first Bitcoin transaction accepted in a New York City nightclub, stand by him through prison, and rebuild a life together. The episode also explores early Bitcoin culture, Satoshi, Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum, quantum threats, marriage, trust, loyalty, and what it really means to choose the life you have over the life you lost.","meta_description":"Daniel Robbins and Kate Hancock sit down with Charlie Shrem and Courtney Shrem for a raw conversation about Bitcoin’s earliest days, love, chaos, prison,…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3263,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/founder-s-story-648906/episodes/bitcoin-pioneer-i-was-paid-100-bitcoin-an-hour-when-it-was-10-ep-443-with-charlie-shrem-and-courtney-shrem-prince-of-bitcoin/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/founder-s-story-648906/bitcoin-pioneer-i-was-paid-100-bitcoin-an-hour-when-it-was-10-ep-443-with-charlie-shrem-and-courtney-shrem-prince-of-bitcoin.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
