Episode notes
We first met Sven at the inaugural Bush Bash at Murrurundi, and have been following his work since then. I’m sure you’ll have seen some of it on Twitter or heard about it on other pods, but if not, go check out his feed @StarfuryFlames.
Here’s a high-level rundown of the topics covered, in a refreshingly open, honest and personal conversation:

- Falling deep and quickly into Bitcoin in 2017, coming with a libertarian mindset and a software engineering skillset, he went “all in” early.
- Why he felt the need to contribute
- Anacho-capitalism, fire dancing and freedom maximalism
- Bitcoin being the tool for job
- BitTorrent as the proof of concept
- Different paths to the same destination
- Running an organic muesli business
- Motion graphics, After Effects and self-taught in Illustrator
- Bringing together your personal skill set, and getting paid to do the thing you love
- Appreciating working within constraints
- Shadowbans
- Fuel prices are going to wake people up
- Psychedelic festivals, personal experiences and therapeutic use of drugs
- How do creative people work for Bitcoin
- The importance of positivity
- The moral quandary of NFTs
- Spending your sats with other bitcoiners. Should you stop being “tight”.
- “I am actually a graphics programmer”. Love it!
