Today, on March 30, 2025, I am extremely happy to be celebrating the 1 year anniversary of the Outlaw Crypto Podcast to the very day. One year ago today, I published the first episode of the show, which was an interview with my good friend and fellow Colombian Bitcoiner, Juan Galt.
Since then, I have published 25 episodes in total. Each season of the show consists of 12 episodes, all of them interviews with people who I think represent the true spirit and culture of cryptography, digital rights and privacy, unstoppable peer to peer digital cash, untaxable, uncensorable truly free markets and the cypherpunk philosophy.
Last week, I published the final episode of Season 2, which was an interview with Douglas Tuman, of Monero Talk, and who has single-handedly spearheaded the efforts to create a good deal of the infrastructure becoming prominent in Monero's decentralized P2P economy, like XMR Chat, XMR Bazaar, and Monero Nodo.
This week, I launched Season 3 and published the first interview with my friend Starkerz , who is a digital rights activist who is very active in the Hive community. Hive is a decentralized social media platform and blockchain with a p2p circular economy and payments system built-in. Hive wwas born when the community forked Hive from Steemit after Justin Sun of Tron fame tried to buy the Steam social media platform. It remains one of the most glorious victories by a cryptocurrency community over corporate bad actors trying to exploit our culture, movement, and tech.
The month of March 2025 has another milestone of which I am proud to celebrate. Not only is it my podcast's one year anniversary, but this month also achieved the highest amount of listens, of any month since I launched the show. So I am happy to see that the show is gaining popularity and my audience is growing. Thanks to everyone who has listened, and thanks to everyone who has donated to support the show.
I also launched a Youtube channel this month, after almost a years of resisting it, if you want to watch it on censortube, just look for the Outlaw Crypto Podcast. I feel confident that the Youtube channel can help grow the show, and it doesn't matter if they try and censor, because I am also on my own self hosted Castopod instance, Rumble, Odysee, Fountain, Wavlake, etc. Youtube stands to lose more than me if they kill my channel and alienate my audience.
I have also spent the last year working on coding classes (not vibe coding), and I am happy to launch my own site, and stop using the Ghost CMS (although, Ghost is pretty damn cool). My new site should launch sooner rather than later, and every bit of it will have been made by me from scratch. It's going to be extremely simple and minimalist, so don't expect anything grandiose, haha!
The last thing I want to add, is that I am about to launch a livestream, which will also be self-hosted, and I plan on using Owncast, and Restreamer, and hopefully integrating my self-hosted stream with XMR Chat. I am still working on and working out the details, and some techie issues I am having but I am excited that I am almost ready to launch.
Thanks for listening to the show over the last year! Stay tuned for episodes from Season 3, next up is Harry Halpin from Nym VPN which just launched the first ever mainstream anonymous mixnet and VPN. It will be dope, and it should be out next week.
Cheers!
