Everyone has a story.
A few weeks ago I put out a call for people around the world willing to share their #Bitcoin stories. I was surprised by the amount of responses! Starting today I will be sharing at least one of them each month on my show.
In this month's Bitcoin story, meet Marc Mantini (@ScartownSparks on X) who recently moved with his wife to #Bitcoin Island in the #Philippines to live on the Bitcoin Standard. He first learned about BTC in 2016 and is passionate about the mission to protect personal and economic freedom. Marc is a former government worker from Toronto, Canada who was terminated over mandates -- but he successfully fought back against the system. He is a freedom fighter who is now working on a grassroots level to help the people on Boracay Island adopt Bitcoin. Say hello to him if you can!
