Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn this unforgettable episode of Beyond the Code , Yitzy Hammer sits down with Bitcoin OG and serial entrepreneur Charlie Shrem for a raw, unfiltered journey through the birth of Bitcoin, the collapse of early crypto infrastructure, and the deeply personal trials that shaped one of the industry's most iconic—and controversial—figures. Charlie opens up about how a small Israeli charity called Tikvot led him to Bitcoin, the early anarchic energy of the online forums where Satoshi once roamed, and how he helped pioneer one of the world’s first Bitcoin exchanges, BitInstant , with nothing but bar mitzvah money and a handshake agreement. They talk Mt. Gox, the founding of the Bitcoin Foundation, and how a single Skype message from Roger Ver changed the course of Charlie’s life. But this episode doesn’t shy away from the dark turns: Charlie reflects on the moment federal agents arrested him at JFK, his experience in solitary confinement, the fallout with his family and community, and the harrowing prison conditions that tested his spirit. We also explore the redemption arc: house arrest in Pennsylvania, quiet reintegration into the crypto world, life on a boat, podcasting, venture investing—and a spiritual journey that defies binaries. Topics Covered: How PayPal freezing donations led to discovering Bitcoin; The mechanics of BitInstant and why it succeeded; Mt. Gox, Silk Road, and the cracks in early crypto; Charlie’s arrest, conviction, and incarceration experience; Leaving Orthodoxy, family estrangement, and Jewish identity; Starting over, rebuilding wealth, and finding purpose; This is more than a conversation about Bitcoin—it's a story about resilience, belief, exile, and finding your people on the internet. 🔗 Connect with Charlie: Website: charlieshrem.com Podcast: Untold Stories Twitter/X: @CharlieShrem…
