Dave Bradley joins the show to tell us all about Bitcoin in Calgary, Alberta, including the Bitcoin Rodeo conference coming up in July, plus much more!  Key Takeaways: 🔹Bitcoin Brains was one of the first physical Bitcoin stores in Canada, and Dave Bradley played a significant role in building the Bitcoin community in Calgary. 🔹The political climate in Canada, particularly the divide between Western Canada and the federal government, has led to frustration and a sense of being ignored by the government. 🔹The diversity and cultural differences within Canada, particularly between provinces, contribute to the challenges of governance and decision-making at the federal level. There has been a significant transfer of wealth from Western Canada to Eastern Canada over the last 30 years, with Alberta being the most affected province. 🔹The rise of woke culture in Canada has led to a shift in political dynamics and a growing dissatisfaction with the current government. 🔹Bitcoin has the potential to play a significant role in Alberta's future, with the possibility of putting Bitcoin on the province's balance sheet and leveraging its energy industry for Bitcoin mining. 🔹Bitcoin aligns incentives and allows individuals to act in their own self-interest while benefiting the greater good. 🔹The Bitcoin Rodeo conference is in Calgary on July 2-3, just before Stampede - use code FREEDOM for a discount!  Connect with Dave: https://x.com/BitcoinBrains https://x.com/TheBitcoinRodeo https://www.bitcoinrodeo.com/ https://bitcoinbrains.com/ Connect with Us: https://www.freedomfootprintshow.com/ https://twitter.com/FootprintShow https://twitter.com/knutsvanholm https://twitter.com/lukedewolf Thanks to our sponsors - check out there websites for info: BitBox: https://bitbox.swiss/freedom Bitcoin Adviser: https://content.thebitcoinadviser.com/freedom Orange Pill App: https://www.orangepillapp.com/ Support the Show: If you value what we do here at the Freedom Footprint Show, consider sending us some value back.
