Heavily Armed Clown is a podcaster, software developer, co-creator of the popular website wtfhappenedin1971.com, fellow bitcoiner, and friend.   In late 2021 he recorded a solo episode on his podcast (Bitcoin Echo Chamber), sharing the (fairly intimate) early life experiences and challenges which he had confronted, and how those events had taught and revealed to him several things about himself, and put him on a course to building a healthier, happier, and more meaningful life.   I found it interesting, and am generally quite interested in hearing such stories, especially those in which bitcoin played a role, and hadn't caught up with HAC in too long anyways, so I invited him on for a chat about it all.   Enjoy! -- More from HAC: TWITTER: @heavilyarmedc More from me: TWITTER: http://bit.ly/2P7PUjA YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/3aBbZxg MEDIUM: http://bit.ly/2Zk0Dex SUBSTACK: Money Messiah If you're in Canada and looking to buy bitcoin at competitive rates, with an emphasis on privacy and security, check out bullbitcoin.com.
