Bitcoin as Money: Living on the Bitcoin Standard | Keith Meola | Episode 4

Something about ₿itcoin

What does it truly mean to live on a Bitcoin standard? Keith Meola joins us to share his remarkable journey of embracing Bitcoin not just as an investment, but as his exclusive currency for daily life. Keith has experienced firsthand the growing Bitcoin circular economies in places like BTC Isla (off the coast of Cancun) and El Zonte in El Salvador. His experiences reveal both the challenges and triumphs of using Bitcoin as an everyday medium of exchange. Beyond simply spending his own sats, Keith actively works to expand adoption by creating educational materials for merchants and consistently asking everywhere he goes: "Do you accept Bitcoin?" This simple question plants seeds that may bloom into future adoption.
