In this episode of Bitcoin Journeys Podcast, I sit down with Julian Figueroa, co-founder of GetBasedTV and creator of "The Exit Manual." Julian shares his remarkable journey from accidentally buying his first Bitcoin in 2013 to becoming one of Bitcoin's most creative storytellers. We explore how his film background, combined with his family's experience during the 2008 financial crisis, shaped his understanding of Bitcoin as a tool for financial sovereignty.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction01:00 - Julian's Background02:09 - The Most Expensive Weed Ever: Buying Bitcoin in 201307:42 - How the 2008 Crisis Shaped Julian's Interest in Money13:30 - From Trading to Understanding Bitcoin's True Purpose24:45 - Creating GetBasedTV and the Peru Documentary29:00 - Bitcoin Circular Economies in 16 Peruvian Towns36:15 - Why Bitcoin Media Needs Better Storytelling43:30 - Bitcoin Adoption Challenges and Solutions51:06 - Advice for Bitcoin Newcomers: Stay Open-Minded55:16 - Where to Find Julian and The Exit ManualConnect with Julian: Twitter: @kinetic_financeGetBasedTV: https://getbased.tvJulian's YouTube: @exitmanual Follow Me: X: @stephan_zimmInstagram: @bitcoinadvisoryThis content is for educational and/or entertainment purposes only.The views expressed by Stephan Zimmermann and his guests are their own and do not constitute financial advice.Nothing in the title, thumbnail, description, or video/audio is to be interpreted as investment, tax, or legal advice.I am not a financial advisor and do not provide financial services as defined by MiCA or other financial regulations.
