What happens when you connect Bitcoin, health, wellness, and personal sovereignty?

In this episode of We Are Satoshi, I sit down with Petra Anderson, founder of Zaprana, to explore why the systems that shape our money, health, food, and lives may have more in common than we realize.

Petra comes from a background studying conflict and the systems behind civil wars and revolutions. Her journey eventually led her toward Bitcoin and the idea that some of the world's biggest problems can't be solved by simply trying to fix the existing system from within.

We discuss decentralized health, Bitcoin as money, privacy, food sovereignty, time preference, and what it means to build businesses outside of traditional incentives.

Zaprana is a marketplace where people can discover and pay for wellness services using Bitcoin — connecting Bitcoiners directly with people providing value without unnecessary intermediaries.

If you believe in Bitcoin, what are you going to build?
