In this episode, I sit down with Nav to dive deep into his journey with Bitcoin—how it began, how it evolved, and how it continues to shape his worldview. We start by talking about his upbringing and early influences around money, work ethic, and responsibility, which laid the groundwork for his later interest in economics.

Nav shares how his study of economic principles led him to discover Bitcoin and how it completely shifted his perspective on value and finance. What makes Nav’s story unique is how he connects Bitcoin not just to economics, but also to spirituality—particularly the teachings of Sikhism. We explore powerful parallels between decentralisation, sovereignty, and the historical role of gold in Sikh history, and how those ideas naturally align with Bitcoin.

Jez (aka Hashley Giles) shares his journey from early financial memories to becoming a passionate advocate for Bitcoin. The conversation begins with his background and first encounters with money, laying the foundation for his entrepreneurial path and transition into sales. As the episode unfolds, he delves into his discovery of Bitcoin, exploring its intrinsic value, transformative potential in global finance, and its importance for the next generation.

Jez discusses the critical role that small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play in driving Bitcoin adoption, particularly through merchant onboarding. The conversation then shifts to forward-looking topics such as Bitcoin treasury strategies, proof of reserves, and the growing need for trust in the ecosystem. Throughout, he reflects on how his beliefs about Bitcoin have evolved and hints at exciting things going on at Bitcoin Collective.

No guest this time - just a relatively short solo pod where I talk about the emotions and psychology of investing, along with tips and techniques you might consider to help recognise when you might be at risk of making poor investment decisions.

Obviously like all by podcasts this is not financial advice, but hopefully you might find some of the ideas interesting to help you ride the highs and lows of investing...especially in Treasury Companies if that's your thing!!
