In part 1, Vlad Costea host of the BTCTKVR podcast, joins us, and describes how he first learned about Bitcoin, and how it took several attempts to fully understand its significance. He also discusses his enthusiasm for Taproot and why he is just so bullish on Bitcoin for the future.

Vlad also discusses mining, Marathon's recent AML/KYC only block, China's recent crackdown, and mining at home as a way to keep Bitcoin decentralized. He also discusses the tendency for many Bitcoiners to use custodial services, and the impact this might have on user sovereignty.
