If you could take a time machine back to day one of going vegan or discovering Bitcoin, what would you tell yourself?

In this episode, hosts Ethan and T reflect on the early days of their journeys, looking back at the steep learning curves, the initial misconceptions, and the advice that would have saved them months of confusion. From realizing that plant-based food doesn't require a taste sacrifice to moving past day-to-day crypto price predictions, they explore why both movements represent massive shifts in consciousness that make systemic violence and inefficiency unaffordable.

In this episode:

• What we wish we had known when we first stepped into the vegan and Bitcoin worlds

• T’s breakthrough with realistic meat alternatives and why taste satisfaction was the real hurdle

• Ethan’s college survival diet of peanut butter and banana sandwiches and how it led to his "Easy Vegan Eating" resource

• Cultivated (lab-grown) meat as an economic solution for mass adoption

• Moving past the "play money" trap: understanding the Bitcoin white paper, geopolitical power, and sound money fundamentals

• "Make war unaffordable, make meat unaffordable": how fiat currency subsidizes warfare, factory farming, and exploitation at scale

• Why guessing short-term cryptocurrency prices is a waste of energy compared to programmatic fundamentals like the 21 million hard cap and the 4-year halving cycle

• What happens when Bitcoin becomes the denominator instead of fiat currency

Mentioned in this episode:

• Easy Vegan Eating (presentation/guide)

• PETA’s "Accidentally Vegan Foods" list

• The Bitcoin White Paper

Bitcoin is vegan. Vote with your dollar.

Bitcoiners and vegans don't usually end up at the same dinner table. We did and this podcast is what came out of it.

In our launch episode, hosts Ethan and T introduce themselves and explain why Bitcoin and veganism are two sides of the same idea: using your money to opt out of systems of exploitation.

In this episode:

• How each of us found Bitcoin and veganism, from a YouTube rabbit hole to a Veggie Grill chicken sandwich
• Why we think both movements are inevitable
• What "voting with your dollar" means in the grocery store and in your wallet
• How we met at a vegan and Bitcoiner dinner at Cafe Gratitude
• The blind spots in each movement: why vegans rarely talk about the monetary system, and why "Bitcoin is carnivore" is so common
• What to expect from the show, including guests from both lanes and respectful pushback
• Our book and the Indiegogo pre-order campaign

Mentioned in this episode:

• Thank God for Bitcoin (documentary)
• Fiat Food (book)
• Gary Yourofsky, "The Most Important Speech You'll Ever Hear"
