From Gold Bug to Bitcoin Trainer | @BtcBytz

In this episode I sit down with Sal from BTC Bytz, a barbell coach, bitcoin educator and father. We recorded this conversation at the Medellin Bitcoin conference and dove into something I think a lot of people in the Bitcoin space overlook: health.

Bitcoiners are some of the smartest and most driven people I know… but not everyone is treating their health like their wealth.

Sal shares his journey from aspiring professional soccer player to barbell coach, how Bitcoin changed the trajectory of his life, and why he decided to build his business entirely on a Bitcoin standard.

We also talk about longevity, mindset, and the mental frameworks that help people stay healthy in a chaotic world.

If you're someone who wants to build in Bitcoin, improve your health, or just become a more sovereign human, I think you'll get a lot out of this conversation.
