Costa Rica is also where he’s planning Bull Bitcoin’s first expansion outside of Canada, and he shares with us the redesign of his product which that has necessitated, and how it will serve as the basis for further expansion throughout LatAm and beyond!.

These days he finds himself in Costa Rica, where he participates in the budding bitcoin economy known as ‘Bitcoin Jungle’ (@BitcoinJungleCR).

Francis started his career in bitcoin as the Communications Director at the ‘Bitcoin Embassy’ in Montreal, an organization dedicated to bitcoin education and outreach.

In this episode, John is joined by Francis Pouliot (@francispouliot_), the founder and CEO of Bull Bitcoin (@BullBitcoin_), a popular non-custodial bitcoin exchange in Canada.

His final thought?. ‘Do good shit. Watch what happens. It’s great.’.

Finally, we discuss Paxful’s recent delisting of ETH, as well as the work Ray & @YusufBWB have been doing with @builtwithbtc, and the tremendous meaning which those experiences have brought to his life.

We also discuss the role which identity has to play in commerce, & speculate on how emerging technologies for administering and expressing identity, absent a centralised controlling authority (ahem, KYC), will greatly accelerate trade and wealth creation.

Ray is also tremendously bullish on the technological proficiency, business acumen, and work ethic of the youth of the 'Global South' and strongly believes that with the right tools they'll soon become one of the wealthiest demographics on earth.

Ray is particularly passionate about what he calls the ‘Global South.' In these regions, many people are subject to egregious forms of financial repression, and Paxful, through bitcoin, is providing them the means to level the playing field.

In this episode, John is joined by Ray Youssef (@RayPaxful), the founder and CEO of the peer-to-peer bitcoin exchange Paxful, for a wide-ranging discussion about what’s been motivating him lately, and why he’s so excited about the upcoming year.

Finally, Patrick believes that #bitcoin will allow the pure essence of sport to emerge more than ever before. How will satsflow, or what he calls 'proof of fan' - a direct financial relationship b/w players & fans - influence the game? He & @PerthHeat are determined to find out.

Extrapolated to the American professional sports market, Patrick says, that’s equivalent to ~$300 million, just waiting to be accessed (and this is just the beginning).

The ability to send sats to players directly in real-time (‘sats4stats’) begins to change this, while also greatly enriching the experience for everyone involved. Having been implemented just this past November, players have already realised a ~2% increase in total compensation.

Patrick sees sports as ‘low time-preference behaviour in action’, which both inspires and entertains. But, he says, ‘sports have been co-opted by the fiat mindset’, as the spectator experience is polluted with relentless ads, and the benefits of sports thereby diminished.
