You Are Responsible For Your Own Healing w/ Roberto Rios, aka Peruvian Bull
What happens when you stop hiding and choose to show up fully — in Bitcoin, in work, and in life? In this episode of Life with Bitcoin, btcviv sits down with her guest, Roberto Rios, aka Peruvian Bull, to explore the deeply personal decision to step out from behind a pseudonym and into public life. Together, they unpack the emotional, professional, and philosophical implications of identity, authenticity, and growth in a world shaped by #finance , #technology , and constant noise. This conversation moves beyond charts and headlines into the human side of #Bitcoin — where credibility is built through integrity, relationships matter as much as ideas, and personal resilience becomes the real long-term strategy. From #macroeconomics and #history to mental health, #healing , and #purpose , this episode is a reminder that “fixing the money” is only one part of the work. If you’ve ever wrestled with fear of judgment, struggled to balance logic and intuition, or questioned what authenticity really costs — and gives back — this episode is for you. In this episode, we explore: Going public after years behind a pseudonymIdentity, authenticity, and credibility in the Bitcoin spaceWhy anonymity can both protect and limit growthThe role of upbringing, curiosity, and self-educationBalancing macro analysis with storytelling and meaningSignal vs. noise in a chaotic information landscapeBitcoin’s promise — and its limits — as a societal solutionPersonal resilience, mental health, and responsibilityFacing inner darkness as part of self-discovery and healingWhy the process of growth matters as much as the outcome
