NEVER in a Trillion Years - Come to Jesus - A Skeptic's Journey part 1 of 7

In this episode, I share a deeply personal testimony about an unexpected spiritual turning point that reshaped how I understand faith, surrender, and God. After decades spent exploring New Age teachings, meditation, yoga, psychedelics, manifestation, and self-styled spiritual practices, I describe the experiences that led me to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I talk about the inner reckoning that followed, the humility of re-examining long-held beliefs, and the challenge of letting go of practices and symbols that no longer aligned with where I felt God was leading me. I also reflect on spiritual deception, obedience, repentance, free will, and why I now see Christianity—especially through Scripture and my ongoing exploration of Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant traditions—as the clearest framework for truth. Along the way, I connect this transformation to my broader mission of helping people move toward love, while sharing how I’m reworking my creative projects and teachings through this new lens of faith, discernment, and devotion to Jesus. ✝️ Get the 11x LOVE Masterclass for FREE https://djvalerieblove.com/11xlove ~ Join the LOVE Tribe for FREE! https://djvalerieblove.com/community ~ Thank You for Supporting the LOVE Mission! https://djvalerieblove.com/donate ~ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@djvalerieblove WEBSITE: https://djvalerieblove.com/podcast FOUNTAIN.FM: https://fountain.fm/show/761jhxFiibErm7eZZdlt APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dj-valerie-b-love-podcast/id1441540841 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/6kZfzFZ3wKmWiljDajrJZ5?si=a9433473b06f464b RSS: https://serve.podhome.fm/rss/4996bcea-e098-5a89-ac63-af7a3df7cb5d ~ FOLLOW DJ Valerie X: https://x.com/djvalerieblove NOSTR: https://primal.net/djvalerieblove FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/djValerieBLove INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/djvalerieblove/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dj-valerie-b-love/ (00:31) Opening prayer and an unexpected testimony (01:43) From spiritual seeker to accepting Jesus (05:52) New Age practices and a life of seeking (08:50) The bedroom encounter and the name of Jesus (12:01) Gregorian chants and the message it is time (14:50) Throwing out spiritual items and starting over (18:48) Why she now believes Christianity is true (23:42) Warnings about demons occult doors and deception (33:31) Obedience humility and learning to trust God (42:03) What comes next and a closing prayer Bible Gateway: https://www.biblegateway.com/ The Holy See (Vatican): https://www.vatican.va/content/vatican/en.html Orthodox Church in America: https://www.oca.org/about

Are Psychedelics Demonic? Come to Jesus - A Skeptic's Journey part 2 of 7

In this episode, I share a very personal update on my spiritual journey and why I’m reevaluating my decades-long relationship with psychedelics. While I talk openly about the profound healing I’ve experienced through ibogaine—especially around trauma, relapse, and addiction recovery—I also wrestle with a new and much deeper concern: the spiritual consequences of opening doors that I may not fully understand. I explain why I now see this as a conversation that requires humility, discernment, and far more investigation than many of us have been willing to give it. I also reflect on the tension between psychedelic transformation and spiritual vulnerability, including my questions about demonic entity attachments, altered states, and what real protection and integration should look like for people seeking healing. Rather than telling anyone what to do, I’m inviting listeners to get curious, think more soberly about these practices, and keep the conversation going with pastors, priests, practitioners, and people with firsthand experience—especially as I continue supporting clients through ibogaine preparation and integration. ✝️ Get the 11x LOVE Masterclass for FREE https://djvalerieblove.com/11xlove ~ Join the LOVE Tribe for FREE! https://djvalerieblove.com/community ~ Thank You for Supporting the LOVE Mission! https://djvalerieblove.com/donate ~ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@djvalerieblove WEBSITE: https://djvalerieblove.com/podcast FOUNTAIN.FM: https://fountain.fm/show/761jhxFiibErm7eZZdlt APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dj-valerie-b-love-podcast/id1441540841 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/6kZfzFZ3wKmWiljDajrJZ5?si=a9433473b06f464b RSS: https://serve.podhome.fm/rss/4996bcea-e098-5a89-ac63-af7a3df7cb5d ~ FOLLOW DJ Valerie X: https://x.com/djvalerieblove NOSTR: https://primal.net/djvalerieblove FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/djValerieBLove INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/djvalerieblove/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dj-valerie-b-love/ (00:30) Why I am rethinking psychedelics (03:13) A spiritual war and the appeal of altered states (05:50) From teenage LSD use to spiritual deception (09:21) Why Ibogaine still feels different for healing (11:52) Opening doors and questioning spiritual messages (17:56) Psychics, entities, and the need for protection (22:57) Risks, family impact, and a call for caution (26:44) A closing appeal for discernment and prayer Ibogaine (PubChem): https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Ibogaine Psychedelic and Dissociative Drugs (NIDA): https://nida.nih.gov/research-topics/psychedelic-dissociative-drugs MKULTRA materials (CIA FOIA Reading Room): https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP86-00114R000100080003-9.pdf The Bible: https://www.bible.com/

Goddess Worship and Trauma - Come to Jesus - A Skeptic's Journey part 3 of 7

In this deeply personal episode, I share why I’ve been rethinking my long-held identity around “goddess” energy, divine feminine empowerment, manifestation, and sexual healing. I open up about how trauma, abuse, and the search for safety led me toward practices that once felt empowering, but that I now believe pulled me further away from God. From kundalini and Taoist-style sexual energy work to the broader messages of self-worship and hypersexualized culture, I reflect on what I embraced, why it appealed to me, and why I’ve chosen to renounce it. I also talk about surrender, forgiveness, spiritual warfare, and the peace I’ve found through a more personal relationship with Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit. My hope with this conversation is not to force agreement, but to invite honest reflection—especially for anyone who has tried to reclaim pain through power, sexuality, or self-invention. If you’ve ever confused relief for healing, or control for safety, this episode is my invitation to pause, question what’s really serving your soul, and consider what it means to truly come back to center. ✝️ Get the 11x LOVE Masterclass for FREE https://djvalerieblove.com/11xlove ~ Join the LOVE Tribe for FREE! https://djvalerieblove.com/community ~ Thank You for Supporting the LOVE Mission! https://djvalerieblove.com/donate ~ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@djvalerieblove WEBSITE: https://djvalerieblove.com/podcast FOUNTAIN.FM: https://fountain.fm/show/761jhxFiibErm7eZZdlt APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dj-valerie-b-love-podcast/id1441540841 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/6kZfzFZ3wKmWiljDajrJZ5?si=a9433473b06f464b RSS: https://serve.podhome.fm/rss/4996bcea-e098-5a89-ac63-af7a3df7cb5d ~ FOLLOW DJ Valerie X: https://x.com/djvalerieblove NOSTR: https://primal.net/djvalerieblove FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/djValerieBLove INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/djvalerieblove/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dj-valerie-b-love/ (00:30) Opening and why this conversation matters (01:54) From vibe goddess identity to spiritual doubt (04:50) Rejecting sex magic, tantra, and false power (08:50) Hypersexualization, trauma, and spiritual warfare (17:01) Surrendering ego and rethinking the divine feminine (22:03) A personal relationship with God over New Age beliefs (24:49) Cultural corruption and complicity in the sex industry (30:06) Sexual boundaries, obedience, and giving Jesus control (32:40) Finding peace, love, and a closing invitation Bible.com: https://www.bible.com/ Orthodox Church in America: https://www.oca.org/ United States Conference of Catholic Bishops: https://www.usccb.org/ Jesus, Take The Wheel (Official Carrie Underwood page): https://www.carrieunderwoodofficial.com/video/jesus-take-the-wheel/

Music as Medicine or Poison - Come to Jesus - A Skeptic's Journey part 4 of 7

In this episode of my Come to Jesus series, I unpack a major shift in how I think about music: as something that can either heal the soul or pull us deeper into confusion, despair, and spiritual disorder. I share how my journey through prayer, Gregorian chants, and surrendering more fully to Jesus changed the way I listen to songs, lyrics, repetition, and the emotional states music can create. As someone who spent decades as a DJ trying to raise people’s energy through sound, I reflect honestly on the tension between music as connection, beauty, and uplift—and music as something that can also hypnotize, reinforce darkness, and shape what we allow into our minds and hearts. I also talk about discernment, spiritual warfare, and why I’ve become much more intentional about what I consume—not just in music, but across media, entertainment, and everyday thought patterns. I share personal stories about times when certain songs deepened my pain rather than helping me heal, and why I now believe we have to be vigilant about what we put on repeat internally and externally. My hope with this conversation is to encourage you to pay attention to what draws you closer to God, what pulls you off course, and how choosing love, prayer, and surrender can bring real peace. ✝️ Get the 11x LOVE Masterclass for FREE https://djvalerieblove.com/11xlove ~ Join the LOVE Tribe for FREE! https://djvalerieblove.com/community ~ Thank You for Supporting the LOVE Mission! https://djvalerieblove.com/donate ~ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@djvalerieblove WEBSITE: https://djvalerieblove.com/podcast FOUNTAIN.FM: https://fountain.fm/show/761jhxFiibErm7eZZdlt APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dj-valerie-b-love-podcast/id1441540841 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/6kZfzFZ3wKmWiljDajrJZ5?si=a9433473b06f464b RSS: https://serve.podhome.fm/rss/4996bcea-e098-5a89-ac63-af7a3df7cb5d ~ FOLLOW DJ Valerie X: https://x.com/djvalerieblove NOSTR: https://primal.net/djvalerieblove FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/djValerieBLove INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/djvalerieblove/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dj-valerie-b-love/ (00:31) Introduction to music as medicine and poison (01:51) Gregorian chants and a personal come to Jesus moment (03:44) Questioning spiritual music and industry influence (07:22) Music, repetition, and the idea of spells (09:51) Order, discernment, and guarding the mind (14:35) How dark music deepened personal suffering (19:26) Choosing music that leads toward God (22:52) Spiritual warfare and resisting cultural drift (27:41) Discernment even within Christian music (30:02) Final encouragement on surrender and healing The Bible (Bible Gateway): https://www.biblegateway.com/ RAVE JESUS: https://www.ravejesus.com/ DOJ Epstein Library / Epstein Files: https://www.justice.gov/epstein

Ex-New Age Narcissist - Come to Jesus - A Skeptic's Journey part 5 of 7

In this episode, I share a deeply personal testimony about what I now see as the spiritual deception of my New Age, New Thought, kundalini yoga years. I reflect on how ideas like “my truth,” self-deification, divination, and spiritual experimentation shaped my thinking, damaged my discernment, and ultimately affected the people I love most, especially my children. From my perspective today, this journey has required a lot of repentance, humility, and a renewed commitment to following Jesus rather than my own ego. I also talk through my experience becoming a certified Kundalini yoga teacher, the red flags I ignored, and the unsettling moments that pushed me to start questioning the practice more seriously. That search led me into researching Yogi Bhajan, White Tantric Yoga, and the broader cover up culture surrounding Kundalini, and I explain why I eventually walked away. My hope in sharing all of this is simple: not to condemn anyone, but to offer an honest account of where I was, what I overlooked, and why I now believe spiritual discernment matters so much. ✝️ Get the 11x LOVE Masterclass for FREE https://djvalerieblove.com/11xlove ~ Join the LOVE Tribe for FREE! https://djvalerieblove.com/community ~ Thank You for Supporting the LOVE Mission! https://djvalerieblove.com/donate ~ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@djvalerieblove WEBSITE: https://djvalerieblove.com/podcast FOUNTAIN.FM: https://fountain.fm/show/761jhxFiibErm7eZZdlt APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dj-valerie-b-love-podcast/id1441540841 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/6kZfzFZ3wKmWiljDajrJZ5?si=a9433473b06f464b RSS: https://serve.podhome.fm/rss/4996bcea-e098-5a89-ac63-af7a3df7cb5d ~ FOLLOW DJ Valerie X: https://x.com/djvalerieblove NOSTR: https://primal.net/djvalerieblove FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/djValerieBLove INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/djvalerieblove/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dj-valerie-b-love/ (00:30) From positivity to spiritual warfare (03:33) How New Age beliefs hurt her children (05:45) Why New Age practices felt loving but misled (09:06) Kundalini teacher training and early red flags (11:30) A frightening experience after white tantra (14:39) Researching Yogi Bhajan and abuse allegations (19:19) Why she now rejects yoga as spiritual practice (23:08) Sharing the testimony as a warning and invitation (25:20) Closing reflections on humility and returning to God The Bible: https://www.biblegateway.com/ Doreen Virtue: https://servantsofgrace.org/doreen-virtue/ Bob Marley: https://www.bobmarley.com/

The Spiritual Warfare Behind Mental Health and Addiction - Come to Jesus - A Skeptic's Journey part 6 of 7

In this testimony-series episode, I open up about how my view of mental health, addiction, and recovery has changed through hard personal experience. I share how I once dismissed depression and anxiety, relied on alcohol and other coping mechanisms to numb pain, and spent years chasing quick fixes instead of doing the deeper work. Looking back, I talk humbly about what I believe failed me, what I learned from relapse, and how my search for healing eventually brought me to humility, prayer, and a deeper dependence on God. I also reflect on recovery culture, labels, therapy versus coaching, community, and the importance of spiritual grounding in any healing journey. More than anything, this episode is a message of hope for anyone who feels trapped in addiction, despair, or darkness: you are loved, you are not alone, and asking for help is a brave beginning. I close by encouraging listeners to seek wise support, stay connected to people who pull them toward life and faith, and remember that lasting peace is something we build through daily practice, surrender, and love. ✝️ Get the 11x LOVE Masterclass for FREE https://djvalerieblove.com/11xlove ~ Join the LOVE Tribe for FREE! https://djvalerieblove.com/community ~ Thank You for Supporting the LOVE Mission! https://djvalerieblove.com/donate ~ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@djvalerieblove WEBSITE: https://djvalerieblove.com/podcast FOUNTAIN.FM: https://fountain.fm/show/761jhxFiibErm7eZZdlt APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dj-valerie-b-love-podcast/id1441540841 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/6kZfzFZ3wKmWiljDajrJZ5?si=a9433473b06f464b RSS: https://serve.podhome.fm/rss/4996bcea-e098-5a89-ac63-af7a3df7cb5d ~ FOLLOW DJ Valerie X: https://x.com/djvalerieblove NOSTR: https://primal.net/djvalerieblove FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/djValerieBLove INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/djvalerieblove/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dj-valerie-b-love/ (00:00:32) Opening prayer and a changed view of depression (00:02:32) Hiding pain, numbing with alcohol, and denial (00:06:12) Rejecting antidepressants and questioning quick fixes (00:08:33) Why the mental health system feels broken (00:14:42) Personal growth without peace and the search for God (00:18:42) Mental health as a deeper spiritual crisis (00:24:10) Prayer, patience, and turning life over to God (00:28:18) Rejecting labels in recovery and identity (00:31:47) Jesus, community, and support beyond therapy (00:46:01) Therapy, marriage counseling, and unmet needs (00:49:20) Addiction, spiritual warfare, and daily resistance (00:54:54) A closing message of hope, help, and faith 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline: https://988lifeline.org/

Which Christianity is Best? Come to Jesus - A Skeptic's Journey part 7 of 7

In this episode, I share where I am in my faith journey as I sort through the many expressions of Christianity and ask a question that’s been weighing on me: which church tradition feels most true, most faithful, and most consistent with the way of Jesus? After years of rejecting the Bible, organized religion, and church altogether, I talk about what changed for me, why I finally began reading Scripture seriously, and how visiting Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant churches has shaped my thinking. I reflect on what I’ve been drawn to in each tradition, why Orthodoxy currently feels like the strongest fit, and how ideas like continuity, discipline, worship, and obedience matter to me now in a way they never did before. I also open up about spiritual hunger, spiritual warfare, discernment, and the danger of false teachers, abuse, and power-driven leadership both inside and outside religious spaces. This conversation is ultimately about my decision to keep choosing Jesus, keep learning, and keep walking in humility rather than pretending I already have all the answers. My hope is that by sharing my testimony honestly, you feel encouraged to seek truth for yourself, stay vigilant, and deepen your own relationship with God. ✝️ Get the 11x LOVE Masterclass for FREE https://djvalerieblove.com/11xlove ~ Join the LOVE Tribe for FREE! https://djvalerieblove.com/community ~ Thank You for Supporting the LOVE Mission! https://djvalerieblove.com/donate ~ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@djvalerieblove WEBSITE: https://djvalerieblove.com/podcast FOUNTAIN.FM: https://fountain.fm/show/761jhxFiibErm7eZZdlt APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dj-valerie-b-love-podcast/id1441540841 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/6kZfzFZ3wKmWiljDajrJZ5?si=a9433473b06f464b RSS: https://serve.podhome.fm/rss/4996bcea-e098-5a89-ac63-af7a3df7cb5d ~ FOLLOW DJ Valerie X: https://x.com/djvalerieblove NOSTR: https://primal.net/djvalerieblove FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/djValerieBLove INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/djvalerieblove/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dj-valerie-b-love/ (00:00:30) Why choosing a Christian tradition feels confusing (00:02:55) Starting with Scripture, apps, and endless questions (00:04:57) Using Bitcoin as a lens for truth and corruption (00:08:33) Leaving New Age beliefs and reconsidering the Bible (00:14:34) Visiting Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant churches (00:16:42) What Orthodox teaching says about reading Scripture (00:21:53) Deliverance, demons, and spiritual warfare (00:28:00) Why Orthodoxy feels ancient, stable, and consistent (00:33:47) Memories of Christians who tried to reach her (00:40:18) Questions about Catholic authority and Protestant change (00:48:10) Spiritual hunger, yoga, and the search for sacred space (00:54:42) Choosing Jesus and leaning toward the Orthodox way (00:58:02) Final reflections on repentance, vigilance, and peace (01:01:38) Continuing her work with Jesus at the center YouVersion Bible App: https://www.youversion.com/bible-app English Standard Version (ESV): https://www.esv.org/ Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church Bible Canon: https://www.ethiopianorthodox.org/english/canonical/books.html The Orthodox Way (St. Vladimir’s Seminary Press): https://svspress.com/pages/Home.html Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America: https://www.goarch.org/about The Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom: https://www.goarch.org/-/the-divine-liturgy-of-saint-john-chrysostom The Holy See (Vatican): https://www.vatican.va/ Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System: https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-paper Orthodox Church in America: https://www.oca.org/index.php

TRAILER: My Come-to-Jesus Moment: Why Everything Changed

In this episode, I share a deeply personal update I never expected to make: I’ve accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I open up about the spiritual shift that unfolded over the past three months, what I experienced as a clear prompting from the Holy Spirit, and how that moment changed the direction of my life and this channel. I also reflect on my years immersed in New Age spirituality, the occult, yoga, manifesting, and New Thought teachings, and why I now see that journey very differently. From my perspective, this marks a move from spiritual seeking and inner unease toward faith, peace, and a more direct relationship with God. Going forward, I’ll be using this space to document that transformation, keep learning openly, and invite you to explore this new chapter with me. ✝️ Get the 11x LOVE Masterclass for FREE https://djvalerieblove.com/11xlove ~ Join the LOVE Tribe for FREE! https://djvalerieblove.com/community ~ Thank You for Supporting the LOVE Mission! https://djvalerieblove.com/donate ~ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@djvalerieblove WEBSITE: https://djvalerieblove.com/podcast FOUNTAIN.FM: https://fountain.fm/show/761jhxFiibErm7eZZdlt APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dj-valerie-b-love-podcast/id1441540841 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/6kZfzFZ3wKmWiljDajrJZ5?si=a9433473b06f464b RSS: https://serve.podhome.fm/rss/4996bcea-e098-5a89-ac63-af7a3df7cb5d ~ FOLLOW DJ Valerie X: https://x.com/djvalerieblove NOSTR: https://primal.net/djvalerieblove FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/djValerieBLove INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/djvalerieblove/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dj-valerie-b-love/ (00:30) A Miraculous Personal Announcement (00:48) Accepting Jesus Christ and Changing the Channel (01:30) Leaving Behind a Buffet of Spirituality (02:08) The Holy Spirit Tap on the Shoulder (02:49) From Spiritual Seeking to Inner Peace (03:54) A New Mission as a Humble Servant of God (04:22) DJ Valerie B Signs Off in Faith

All Wars Are Bankers' Wars and Why Bitcoin is a Peaceful Way Out

Aloha! In this impromptu, heartfelt session, I discuss how our fiat-based monetary system fuels war, surveillance, and societal decay. I break down the difference between money and sound money, the implications of leaving the gold standard, and why Bitcoin’s open, transparent, and finite protocol offers a path toward peace, personal sovereignty, and ethical living. I also dig into how centralized control over money, media, food, and energy breeds fear, censorship, and dependency—and why decentralization across money (Bitcoin) and communication (Nostr) matters. Topics Covered: The money printer as a weapon — how governments fund wars through unlimited printing Fiat is violent money — the Monopoly board analogy and how inflation robs everyday people Every war is a banker's war — the relationship between central banking and global conflict Why they fear Bitcoin — a transparent, open ledger threatens centralized control Digital IDs and CBDCs — the surveillance state agenda disguised as safety The Canadian trucker protest — real-world example of governments freezing citizens' money The Four Pillars of Power — food, energy, information, and money under attack Why I'm on Nostr — decentralized communication free from advertisers and censorship The root of the sickness — how a broken money system drives debt, mental health crises, and desperation We still need heart work — Bitcoin fixes the money, but we still need to fix ourselves ✝️ Get the 11x LOVE Masterclass for FREE https://djvalerieblove.com/11xlove ~ Join the LOVE Tribe for FREE! https://djvalerieblove.com/community ~ Thank You for Supporting the LOVE Mission! https://djvalerieblove.com/donate ~ SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@djvalerieblove WEBSITE: https://djvalerieblove.com/podcast FOUNTAIN.FM: https://fountain.fm/show/761jhxFiibErm7eZZdlt APPLE: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dj-valerie-b-love-podcast/id1441540841 SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/6kZfzFZ3wKmWiljDajrJZ5?si=a9433473b06f464b RSS: https://serve.podhome.fm/rss/4996bcea-e098-5a89-ac63-af7a3df7cb5d ~ FOLLOW DJ Valerie X: https://x.com/djvalerieblove NOSTR: https://primal.net/djvalerieblove FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/djValerieBLove INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/djvalerieblove/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dj-valerie-b-love/

Bitcoin Integrity - Guardians of the Protocol - Uncle Rockstar Dev

In this heartfelt and lively conversation, I sit down with Uncle Rockstar Dev—OG cypherpunk, BTC Pay Server co-creator, and beloved “Bitcoin uncle”—to explore Bitcoin as a vehicle for peace, community, and authentic living. We reflect on joyful in‑person moments (yes, including his surprise stint as a Las Vegas wedding officiant), why love and playfulness matter in a hyper‑technical world, and how financial freedom can radicalize peace by freeing us from control systems. We talk sovereignty across money, information, food, and energy; how to navigate information overload and AI anxiety with kindness and boundaries; and the role of service, ego as a healthy shield, and surrounding yourself with people who celebrate your growth. We also dive into current social-layer tensions in Bitcoin: what “Bitcoin is money” means in practice, why many support keeping the protocol focused on sound money over zero‑sum speculation, and how to avoid being “forked off” socially by conflict. Rockstar shares his path from building to advising, the importance of local community and daily contact, and a simple compass for chaotic times: are you having fun, and are you being kind? If not, recalibrate. This one’s a warm reminder to cultivate real relationships, protect your peace, and keep building a more loving, decentralized future. About Uncle Rockstar Dev Uncle Rockstar Dev is a cypherpunk, the massive contributor of BTCPay Server (one of the most important open-source payment tools in the Bitcoin ecosystem), and former Head of Bitcoin at Strike. Known for his pseudonymous identity and iconic face mask, Uncle Rockstar is now mostly retired, advising Bitcoin companies, officiating Bitcoin weddings (five and counting - if I ever get a boyfriend and married again he is going be our officiant!), and championing unity, kindness, and sovereignty at conferences worldwide. He grew up experiencing hyperinflation firsthand, which led him to cypherpunk philosophy and ultimately to building tools that empower people through Bitcoin.
