Many homesteaders are overwhelmed by the challenge of how to make secure, anonymous, permissionless, uncomplicated and affordable financial transactions in the ever growing parallel economy.

My goal in this podcast is to:

Highlight a real world example of how Bitcoin and the Lightning Network is beautifully solving the myriad problems of our current fiat money system.

Stefan Sobkowiak operates a 12 acre farm of which 6-acres are in a permaculture orchard at Miracle Farms in Quebec. Sobkowiak originally bought the farm as a conventional 12 acre 4,000 tree monoculture apple orchard and immediately transitioned it to organic, but he quickly realized that an organic monoculture merely substitutes inputs from the conventional model. The alternative he created is a diverse polyculture that produces a wide variety of different fruits, berries and perennial herbs for u-pick membership customers. Sobkowiak is also an avid teacher, having taught at the university level and now popularly, through his Permaculture Orchard video, his online virtual orchard tour and his online pruning course.
