You may have seen Albert (@bitcoin_hostel) go viral recently, with his “We are building a Bitcoin Hostel at one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe” tweet. We wanted to get him on the pod to tell you the full story. It’s exciting, and what’s more, you can be part of making it happen. In the pod we discuss:

His first touch point with Bitcoin was in school but fell down the rabbit hole in 2016/17.
He’s an architect by profession and has seen first-hand the frustrations of contracting to government organisations.
Why governments need to get out of the way, and why building the Bitcoin economy is the peaceful alternative.
The struggles of being unvaccinated and working in Germany, and the pressures of home working.
Building a Bitcoin hostel combines his (and his girlfriends) interests in travel, architecture, interior design, meeting diverse people and of course Bitcoin.
Going viral on Twitter and being shocked by the positivity and support.
Inspiration from El Salvador.
Inflation creeping into the conversation globally.
Why Portugal? (Culture/Nature, Price and Low Taxation)
Why it’s possible to find free land.
Making the connections needed to make the project a success. A Bitcoin grassroots project.
Architectural competition to design the hostel.
Stimulating an economy with pro-Bitcoin regulation, and the need for certainty in the regulatory environment.
Elon Musk building a factory in Berlin without building permits. Red tape can be cut if there is the will (see the situation with Ukrainian refugees).
Hostel stories. (Would make a great podcast!)

Thanks Albert.
