Wilson, cohost of \u201cBitcoin Bottom Line,\u201d for a live broadcast from the Bitcoin22 conference.<\/p>\n<p>The two begin by discussing the conference, meeting celebrities in the Bitcoin space and the approaching one year anniversary of El Salvador announcing their plan to make Bitcoin legal tender. Hobart said, \u201cEl Salvador making the move was like the one person willing to go against the flow. Since that country doesn\u2019t have a history of innovation in that way, people didn\u2019t follow them right away.\u201d Wilson responded, \u201cThings are changing.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The two go on to discuss the role that bitcoin is playing in the current war between Russia and Ukraine, and how the currency is helping the Ukrainian government. Wilson continues by mentioning, \u201cIf the government is running out of FUD [fear uncertainty and doubt] weapons, and Bitcoin is growing at the same time, you\u2019re going to have more voices that can attack those FUD vectors faster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hobart shares about the release of an article through <em>Bitcoin Magazine<\/em> in which he interviewed one of Bitcoin Twitter\u2019s favorite female personalities, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HumbleBitcoiner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HumbleWarrior<\/a>, and she talked about how bitcoin made her value health in a new way. \u201cWith health, it\u2019s all proof of work,\u201d he continues, \u201cIf we don\u2019t have new kids to grow the economy, in terms of not only consumption but new thoughts and ideas, we don\u2019t solve the problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Listen to the full episode for more!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A broadcast recorded at Bitcoin2022, reflecting on El Salvador\u2019s bitcoin legal tender law and the intersection of health as it relates to Bitcoin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2520,"featured_media":7326,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[2016,1845,2320,1736,1216],"class_list":{"0":"post-9418","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-culture","8":"tag-bitcoin-2022","9":"tag-bitcoin-bottom-line","10":"tag-celebrity","11":"tag-health","12":"tag-podcast"},"author_data":{"id":2520,"name":"Bitcoin Magazine","nicename":"bitcoin-magazine","avatar_url":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bitcoin-magazine-logo.jpeg"},"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20220511_btcfinal_zack-voell-7-companies-you-wouldnt-expect-to-be-mining-bitcoin.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9418","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2520"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9418"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9418\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9418"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9418"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bitcoinmagazine.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9418"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
