EP81: Seize the Day with @beefbackbetter (Chapter 4)
Manage episode 362112596 series 3001605
We’re telling a story. We didn’t set out to tell a story – in fact we rarely set out with any coherent plan – but we’re telling a story, nonetheless.
This is Owen’s story.
He’s an Aussie with a background in organic farming certification. We first met at a Bitcoin Bush Bash in 2020, visited his farm in 2021 (Episode 22), spoke to him from his El Salvador scoping trip in May 2022 (Episode 43) from next door to Mrs Bukele (Episode 61) and now here we are again. It’s a fascinating progression of a doer rather than a talker, and I’d highly recommend you go back over the previous episodes to get the full picture.
We discuss:
Starting a beef business in El Salvador and partnering with pro-Bitcoin locals
Types of farming and the challenge of the wet and dry seasons
The current quality of beef and the inclusion of chemical additives (fiat incentives)
Only accepting Bitcoin in the business
Blink wallet
Hedging volatility
Residency and visa options
Brain drain starting to reverse
Opportunity everywhere with huge tax incentives
Seeking entrepreneurial influence
Bukele’s majority means that all bills pass
Muh roads in Guatemala. Government versus Private
News from El Salvador
Nostrica
General Bitcoin adoption and friction in all financial transactions
Paying almost all bills in Bitcoin
Where to Buy Beef in El Salvador
Ways to Earn Bitcoin
