Episode Title: Beef, Bitcoin, and the Battle for Food Sovereignty – Live with MrWagmi and The Beef Initiative

Description:

In this powerful X Space hosted by @MrWagmiLive, Texas Slim, June, and key members of The Beef Initiative dive deep into the fight to reclaim America’s beef industry—powered by Bitcoin and grassroots action.

Texas Slim shares his journey from the dirt roads of West Texas to building a decentralized beef supply chain. June reflects on their 64-day road trip across America, revealing that “30 minutes off any highway is cattle country,” but you’ll need a peer-to-peer relationship to get there.

Key highlights include:

  • How Cole Bolton became the first rancher to earn a full Bitcoin selling beef—then reinvested it to expand his herd, outside the grip of banks and federal subsidies.
  • The rise of BeefMaps.com, an open-source map connecting consumers directly with ranchers worldwide—soon expanding into Norway and Canada.
  • The looming threat of carbon credits, CBDCs, and digital surveillance targeting farmers—and how Bitcoin, layer-two solutions, and privacy-focused tech can shield ranchers.
  • The Strategic Beef Reserve Vision—building community-based beef reserves to defend against the collapse of the multinational supply chain.
  • An open call to developers, builders, and innovators: Help build decentralized finance tools, herd tokenization, and privacy layers to safeguard independent agriculture.SaveBeef.org is the hub for partnerships.

Quote from RS June:

"67 years until the last family farm is gone. We don’t have time to wait—we build now."

Guests:

  • Texas Slim (Founder, The Beef Initiative)
  • June (Creative Strategist, The Beef Initiative)
  • Jeff Forrester (Mayor of Wylie, TX – Partnerships Lead)
  • Steve Williams (Better Fed Foods – Regenerative Inputs Specialist)
