This episode welcomes Dr. Jeff Pacheco, a critical-thinking physician who found Bitcoin later in life after realizing it is a technological revolution. Since his Bitcoin discovery, Jeff has aggressively studied Bitcoin with the same fervor he remembers using in medical school. Discussing Bitcoin with Jeff during this podcast was thoroughly enjoyable. Our discussion is representative of the thousands of conversations Bitcoiners have with other freedom-loving individuals all over the world as we all prepare for the ultimate transition to the hardest money ever discovered.
