Do we have proof that angels and demons exist?

Roberto Rios, a macro thinker and Bitcoiner, joins me to connect central banking, elite corruption, and what he believes is the spiritual dimension behind power itself.

We move from macroeconomics and investing into the darker implications of the Epstein files, blackmail networks, and systemic compromise. The conversation challenges the idea that corruption is random, suggesting instead that centralized institutions (financial, political, and cultural) may reflect deeper forces at work.

Questions of spiritual warfare, free will, and demonic influence surface as we examine why power structures persist and why reform often fails. Material explanations alone may not fully account for the patterns we see in global finance and governance.

Bitcoin is about more than money. It's about power, control, and the spiritual forces behind them.

Bitcoin might be less about money and more about time.

In this episode, I’m joined by Scott Dedels, Co-Founder of Block Rewards and author of The Dao of Bitcoin. Scott blends hands-on experience in Bitcoin infrastructure with a deeper exploration of how time, value, and decentralization shape the systems we live in.

We dig into how blockchain technology and Bitcoin challenge the way modern society measures and monetizes time, and what that means for the future of finance. Scott reframes debt as monetized future value and inflation as a devaluation of the past, positioning money as a temporal instrument rather than just currency.

Drawing from his own experience navigating cryptocurrency, including the Terra Luna collapse, he explains why he sees Bitcoin’s energy-based structure as fundamentally different from other digital assets.

If you’re interested in decentralization, financial sovereignty, and the bigger ideas behind Bitcoin, this conversation goes well beyond market headlines.

[01:11:28] The brain's tape delay, block universe theory, and the idea that consciousness might be God

Bitcoin isn’t just another asset; it’s a response to broken money.

In this episode, I sit down with Seb Bunney to discuss why so many people feel uneasy about money, privacy, and technology, even when everything appears to be working as intended. That discomfort doesn’t come from paranoia or ideology, it comes from living inside systems that quietly extract data, shape behavior, and centralize control while calling it convenience.

Privacy used to be assumed. Now it’s something you actively defend. The same pattern shows up with money, where long-held beliefs about inflation, authority, and stability go mostly unchallenged. Bitcoin enters the picture not as a shortcut to wealth, but as a response to broken monetary systems and incentives that no longer reward long-term thinking.

Decentralization starts to matter when trust erodes, and financial sovereignty becomes practical rather than philosophical. This conversation connects Bitcoin, privacy erosion, and technology through a systems lens, focusing on how people begin questioning the structures they’ve inherited, and what happens when they do.

If you’ve felt that something about modern systems doesn’t sit right, this episode offers language, context, and a clearer frame for why.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[04:03] The "nothing to hide" fallacy and why privacy should be the default setting

[07:59] Sophisticated scams and why high-trust societies are collapsing

[14:41] Societal trauma in the downstream of broken monetary systems

[18:07] Somatic therapy, upward spirals, and the Buddhist fable of perspective

[27:22] Shifting from ego-driven hustle to trusting synchronicities and divine guidance

[45:41] 5D guidance, sensing truth in your chest, and why intuition predates data

[01:03:01] The Bible as distributed ledger, Shroud of Turin evidence, and crucifixion medical accuracy

[01:22:46] Biblical design of rules without rulers and Israel's tragic demand for kings

[01:26:30] The Trojan horse book strategy, flawed money maps, and why people reject Bitcoin
