ROGER 9000 | Ruminations on music, meaning, metaphysics and making chocolate

"I don't understand why every musician isn't writing [music] about Bitcoin or Satoshi."— Roger 9000<br />This week, Roger 9000, a musician, chocolate-maker, podcaster and a deeply original, free thinking bitcoiner wanders with me on a conversational stroll across a metaphysical landscape of aspirations, dreams, speculations, memories, vexing paradoxes around the meaning of life and the role of bitcoin. I'd love to say I dove deep into Roger's music or chocolate making but as you'll hear, it ended up being more like a late night chat around a campfire where only Roger and I were awake, too immersed in philosophical profundities to notice everyone else had gone to bed.<br />Seven time zones separated Roger and I on the day and the fact that we were being recorded would have seemed like a tertiary concern to both of us if it weren't for the glitchy internet connection and software problems that made a mangled mess of the audio and that I've attempted to recover in post. He's a good-natured and patient fellow and I hope I've done justice to this record of our time together. There are a couple slightly disjointed edits but as a whole, I think it's still a fun and heady rip.<br />I can't stress enough how important is to share this podcast within your circles of creative folks. Even just a simple repost of the episode on Twitter, NOSTR or Vero, helps a ton. And if you're listening on a podcasting 2.0 app like Fountain or Breeze, you should know that 10% of all those streams and boosts split to help @OpenSats fund bitcoin and other free and open-source projects.<br />As is now becoming my norm, we drop in mid-conversation as Roger was commenting about the name of this podcast. Enjoy!<br />Thanks to Roger 9000 for sharing his time, energy and musical and mythical meanderings.<br />Guest Links:Website: https://www.roger9000.comWebsite: Bit Choc Rocks Chocolate Making WorkshopTwitter: @roger__9000 YouTube: @Roger9000Instagram: @roger.9000Podcast: Bitcoin is Love<br />Mentioned in This Episode:The Long Road to Joy: A Guide to Walking Meditation by Thich Nhat Hanh
