Rewiring Commerce: Bitcoin Solutions with Jason Keil

Описание: In this episode of Hosting Bitcoin, we sit down with Jason Keil — entrepreneur, payments innovator, and advocate for a freer financial future.

From building a credit card processing business that has moved over a billion dollars to pioneering Bitcoin payments infrastructure, Jason shares how his journey transformed from a search for better investments into a mission to fix broken money itself. With deep experience in merchant services and a conviction that Bitcoin is more than digital gold, he’s helping small businesses reclaim their margins, sovereignty, and resilience.

This conversation is a deep dive into why payments are the hidden battleground for freedom, how incentives shape everything from consumerism to wealth inequality, and why building mission-driven businesses can create lasting impact far beyond profit.

We cover:
🔹 The hidden costs merchants face in a debt-fueled economy
🔹 Why medium of exchange matters more than most people realize
🔹 How Bitcoin empowers merchants to store value over time
🔹 Navigating the practical hurdles of accepting Bitcoin payments
🔹 Lessons from scaling a payments company while staying aligned to purpose
🔹 The surprising parallels between drumming, discipline, and conviction
🔹 Why giving back can be the highest form of abundance

This episode is for anyone who believes that fixing money can help fix the world — and that real change starts with ordinary people choosing better tools, better incentives, and better ways to serve.
