What happens when you stop hiding and choose to show up fully — in Bitcoin, in work, and in life? In this episode of Life with Bitcoin, btcviv sits down with her guest, Roberto Rios, aka Peruvian Bull, to explore the deeply personal decision to step out from behind a pseudonym and into public life.

Together, they unpack the emotional, professional, and philosophical implications of identity, authenticity, and growth in a world shaped by #finance , #technology , and constant noise. This conversation moves beyond charts and headlines into the human side of #Bitcoin — where credibility is built through integrity, relationships matter as much as ideas, and personal resilience becomes the real long-term strategy.

From #macroeconomics and #history to mental health, #healing , and #purpose , this episode is a reminder that “fixing the money” is only one part of the work. If you’ve ever wrestled with fear of judgment, struggled to balance logic and intuition, or questioned what authenticity really costs — and gives back — this episode is for you.

In this episode, we explore:

• Going public after years behind a pseudonym
• Identity, authenticity, and credibility in the Bitcoin space
• Why anonymity can both protect and limit growth
• The role of upbringing, curiosity, and self-education
• Balancing macro analysis with storytelling and meaning
• Signal vs. noise in a chaotic information landscape
• Bitcoin’s promise — and its limits — as a societal solution
• Personal resilience, mental health, and responsibility
• Facing inner darkness as part of self-discovery and healing
• Why the process of growth matters as much as the outcome

In this in-person episode filmed in Hong Kong, August 2025, btcviv sat down with Uncle Rockstar Dev for a deep, human conversation about Bitcoin, identity, trauma, and the untapped potential within each of us.

This episode goes beyond technology or price talk. It looks at the inner journey that often begins when someone discovers Bitcoin. As Rockstar shares, “Bitcoin is not the answer, it’s the key”—a key that can unlock parts of ourselves we’ve ignored, suppressed, or underestimated.

One line stayed with me long after we wrapped:

“Bitcoin is not the answer, it’s the key.”

Not a promise that Bitcoin will fix your life… but an invitation.

A doorway into understanding yourself more deeply, questioning who you are, and exploring who you could be.

Through that lens, we dive into:

🔍How Bitcoin becomes a catalyst for examining old wounds and limiting stories

⚖️The relationship between technology, identity, and personal growth

*⃣How past trauma shapes the way we approach risk, autonomy, and possibility

🚇Why Bitcoin can serve as a gateway to new opportunities and new versions of the self

🫂How engaging with Bitcoin can surface deeper questions about who we are becoming

This episode looks at the human side of Bitcoin — the internal transformation that begins when you stop asking what Bitcoin can solve and start asking what it can reveal.
