We believe there are millions of progressive and democrat Americans that over the years have been growing increasingly dissatisfied with the status quo, political leaders, economic policies, the way of the world, and beyond, that are looking for answers and solutions.
We're here to share with them incredible stories of Bitcoin use-cases around the world for issues like human rights, transitioning to renewable energy and addressing climate change in real ways via Bitcoin mining and Bitcoin as a potential solution to a lot of problems they couldn't quite put their finger on, including a better and more financially sustainable future for us all.
They're not going to be compelled by speeches from Donald Trump, or bitcoiners encouraging them to vote for him. They can be compelled by sharing how Bitcoin is addressing issues near and dear to them. We're here to speak to them. Unfortunately, Bitcoin may continue to be politicized and used as a political prop in this year's election.
With that said, your input is always welcome and encouraged, whether it's for potential guests, topics, or questions for us. Best way to do so is via DM, contact form via our website tpbpod.com or our telegram group https://t.me/progressivebitcoiner

“#Bitcoin is those last five puzzle pieces we’re waiting for to achieve incredible quality of life.” – @npub10cx…fcj3
My guest today is Harry Sudock. Harry is the Chief Strategy Officer at Griid, a purpose-built American-based infrastructure company operating #bitcoinmining facilities since 2019 utilizing low-cost, low-carbon energy, and a partner at Bitcoin Park, a community supported campus in Nashville focused on grassroots freedom tech adoption and a home for bitcoiners to work, learn, collaborate, and build.
In this episode we discusses Bitcoin mining’s role in expanding renewable energy, reducing emissions, and empowering communities. Harry explains Bitcoin’s proof-of-work mechanism, addresses common misconceptions, and highlights how Bitcoin mining incentivizes clean energy solutions through free market dynamics

🌟 TPB Needs Your Support 🌟
Here's a refresher on the what, why, and how of The Progressive Bitcoiner. We have big aspirations for this platform and TPB as a global bitcoin media and education project. But we need your support.
What: "The Progressive Bitcoiner" is more than just a podcast; it's a movement. We explore how Bitcoin can be a powerful tool for financial freedom and empowerment globally. We're here to educate, inspire, and debunk the myths surrounding Bitcoin, making it accessible and relatable to progressive audiences who care about wealth inequality, environmental sustainability, and more.
Why: In today’s media landscape, there's a significant gap in how Bitcoin is presented to left-leaning and progressive individuals. Mainstream media and many political voices often spread misconceptions about Bitcoin, especially concerning issues like climate change and use-cases. Our podcast fills this crucial void by delivering well-researched, fact-based insights and stories that align with progressive values and concerns.
How You Can Support Us:
@npub1kmw…xqk9: Purchase rewards, make one-time and ongoing donations via bitcoin. Every bit helps us produce more engaging episodes. Support here: https://geyser.fund/project/tpbpod

In some scenarios yes and we touch on what other structures must be in place to combat this alongside UBI, but fair point!

"Basic income is not left or right. It's forward." - Scott Santens
My guest today is Scott Santens, with special guest co-host and friend of the pod Margot Paez. Scott is a leading Universal Basic Income (UBI) advocate and has been researching the subject since 2013. He is also the President and Founder of the Income to Support All (ITSA) Foundation which supports ambitious projects that help realize a foundation of unconditional universal basic income through research, storytelling, and implementation. In this episode we discuss Universal Basic Income's potential to address poverty, inequality, and the future of work. Santens explains how UBI can empower individuals, boost entrepreneurship, and create a more voluntary labor market, while addressing misconceptions and basic facts of what UBI is. We also explore the intersection of UBI and Bitcoin, with particular focus on renewable bitcoin mining projects and community benefits.

🚨 EU TAKES MASSIVE SURVEILLANCE STEP FORWARD ON CRYPTO TRANSACTIONS UNDER THE GUISE OF STANDARD INDUSTRY PROTOCOL 🚨
“On Thursday, MEPs approved with 529 votes in favour to 29 against and 14 abstentions, the first piece of EU legislation for tracing transfers of crypto-assets like bitcoins and electronic money tokens. The text –which was provisionally agreed by Parliament and Council negotiators in June 2022- aims to ensure that crypto transfers, as is the case with any other financial operation, can always be traced and suspicious transactions blocked. The so-called “travel rule”, already used in traditional finance, will in future cover transfers of crypto assets. Information on the source of the asset and its beneficiary will have to “travel” with the transaction and be stored on both sides of the transfer.”
Particularly concerning language: “…aims to ensure that crypto transfers, as is the case with any other financial operation, can always be traced and suspicious transactions blocked.”
However, the rule also goes on to say, “The rules do not apply to person-to-person transfers conducted without a provider or among providers acting on their own behalf.”
I will continue to research and consult with @npub13aj…2yd9 and others keeping a close eye on this and write a more thorough newsletter response on this. While this seems to specifically target the industry, at least for now it seems this rule DOES NOT apply to a self-hosted to self-hosted, peer-to-peer transaction.
Take self-custody of your bitcoin folks!

Gm Friends 👋
Trey here. As we kick off a new week, I wanted to let you all know the best ways you can support my work and The Progressive Bitcoiner. I am laser focused on creating content and education focused on Bitcoin’s amazing potential as a tool for human rights, the environment, individual and community financial freedom, and of course appealing to liberals and progressives who have heard some of the most extreme FUD and misinformation regarding #Bitcoin . I feel it is a unique and much needed take and content in the space, especially as we anticipate more and more people becoming curious about Bitcoin this cycle.
To do all of these things requires tremendous time, energy, and yes funding. The good news is there are multiple ways you can financially support these efforts, and every sat given brings me once step closer to being able to devote my full time and energy to this enormous undertaking.
1) Our @npub1kmw…xqk9. It is the best way to directly support the podcast. Like gofundme, but with bitcoin! Contribute today, and check out our shoutout rewards to get a shoutout during the podcast. geyser.fund/project/thepro…
2) Our substack. Our newsletter and rss feed is through substack. You can become a paid subscriber to our newsletter, which is great because it’s done so on a monthly or yearly reoccurring basis, making it easier for me to budget expenses. While substack isn’t accepting bitcoin yet, I convert all USD contribution to Bitcoin on a monthly basis.
3) Take advantage of our sponsor promo links! Not only will you get a discount on awesome products and companies I support and use daily myself, but it creates a more stable and long-term relationship with our sponsors if folks continue to utilize these links ⬇️
@npub1tg7…cxmt: Get 5% off the bitbox02 Bitcoin only edition hardware wallet at bitbox.swiss/tpb using promo code ‘TPB’
@npub1xnf…lpr5: the best self-custodial lightning wallet around. Use their groundbreaking lightning service provide, making it easier than ever to get connected to the lightning network, as Zeus does all the channel management and heavy lifting for you. Get 5% off LSP fees by using promo code ‘TPB’ under the access code in LSP settings. Head to https://zeusln.com/ to learn more.
4) Become a sponsor! If your company is looking for sponsorship opportunities, we are looking to secure one more ad space on the pod. You can DM me here, or send a message via our website’s contact form: progressivebitcoiner.com/reach-out/
I need your support to sustain and especially grow The Progressive Bitcoiner. Should we get to sustainable monthly revenue we’ll be able to produce more episodes of the pod, write more for the newsletter and various publication, support in-person events, create more live and video content, and more. But only with your help.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me, both financially and just by listening, engaging, and providing words of encouragement. It means the world.
If you could share this note, it would mean the world. Great things to come to get the message out that #Bitcoin is for everyone and has such great potential as a tool for human rights and human flourishing 🧡

"If you're born in a cage, if you're born in prison, then freedom will look funny to you. But with a tool such as Bitcoin, this actually opens your eyes to your rights as a human, your rights as a citizen.” - Marcel
