Jimmy Song is a Bitcoin expert, developer, and educator. He's authored and co-authored several books including "Programming Bitcoin" and "Bitcoin and the American Dream" and "Thank God for Bitcoin."

El Salvador in 2021 became the first country in the world to make Bitcoin legal tender. Jimmy Song helped shape the curriculum of El Salvador's CUBO+ program, and he has visited the country several times since January 2022.

In this interview at the inaugural Bitcoin Histórico last November, Jimmy and I discussed:

• El Salvador's transformation under President Bukele
• Noblesse Oblige, his main-stage talk: after "Number Go Up," what do Bitcoiners owe the society around them?
• why beauty changes people, and why fiat is "a godless money"
• being called on stage as the bridge between Russell Brand and Max Keiser, and why so many Bitcoiners are turning to Christ
• the "monetary Stockholm syndrome" of fiat, and why Bitcoin is your servant, not your master
• what the U.S. and other countries can learn from El Salvador: common sense, courage, and more

Bitcoin Histórico is a unique conference at the National Palace organized by El Salvador's Bitcoin Office, showcasing the many ways it's leading in Bitcoin adoption: strategic reserve, educational initiatives, circular economies, government policies, capital markets, and more.

Jimmy will return for Round 2 this November 11-12 during Freedom Month in El Salvador.
