Bitcoin & the Awakening from the Meaning Crisis w/ Michael Ruiz

What if hitting rock bottom was the best thing that ever happened to you? Michael Ruiz shares his transformative journey through faith, divorce, psychedelics, and Bitcoin. We explore extreme ownership, ego death, ayahuasca experiences, spiritual awakening, the individual vs the state, orange-pilling loved ones, and how Bitcoin can help us navigate the meaning crisis.

Michael Ruiz is an entrepreneur and founder of “The Sovereign Mindset” who is navigating the transition from Fiat to Sound Money.
