E43: Bitcoin vs Big Pharma: Rethinking Health, Money & Food

Engineer & author Tristan Scott joins El Podcast to explore the intersection of Bitcoin, beef, decentralization, and personal health after overcoming post-concussive syndrome.

Guest Bio:
Tristan Scott is an electrical engineer turned health advocate and author of Bitcoin and Beef: Criticisms, Similarities, and Why Decentralization Matters. After suffering from post-concussive syndrome, he embarked on a deep personal journey into holistic healing, regenerative agriculture, and decentralized finance. He is also the co-host of Decentralized Radio.

Topics Covered:

  • Personal recovery from post-concussive syndrome and failures of conventional medicine
  • The healing power of beef, ketogenic diets, and regenerative agriculture
  • Critiques of industrial food systems, big pharma, and centralized institutions
  • The philosophical and structural parallels between Bitcoin and regenerative food systems
  • The flaws in life expectancy as a measure of public health
  • How broken incentives in fiat economies impact food, health, and finance
  • The rise of censorship, corporate capture, and why decentralization matters
  • Thoughts on work ethic, societal collapse, and the post-pandemic wake-up call

Top 3 Quotes:

  • “You should not take anyone's word in stone for anything—the whole reason we got into this mess is the sheepishness of our society.”
  • “Beef isn’t the problem—it’s the system behind it. I’m not fighting vegans, I’m fighting industrial agriculture.”
  • “Nature doesn’t work on a quarterly profit model—real quality takes time, whether it’s regenerating soil or building a decentralized financial system.”
