Episode notes
Peter Saddington — known online as Agile Peter — is one of the most quietly extraordinary humans in the Bitcoin space. A 2011 Bitcoin OG who turned a $115 position into a Lamborghini Huracan purchased with 45 BTC, Peter is a software engineer turned serial entrepreneur, certified scrum trainer, venture investor, and founder of Bitcoin Racing US — a 501(c)(3) nonprofit driving Bitcoin adoption across 48 colleges and universities through motorsports.
But none of that is the real story.
In this episode of Cypherpunk'd, Peter opens up about being abandoned as an infant in South Korea, surviving an orphanage, being adopted at age 11 into a working class American family, and building a life from three foundational worldviews burned into him before he had words for them: no one is coming to save you, you have to fight to survive, and alliances matter.
We go deep on the destruction of the family unit, why nobody can afford children anymore and how it traces directly back to 1971 and the debasement of the money, the 90% of the world outsourcing parenting to a mobile device, and the single test of a man that has nothing to do with his net worth. Peter talks about being fired from his own company, a nine-month depression that brought him to the edge, how giving pulled him back, and why his 13-year-old son racing a car he built with his own hands is the greatest feedback loop of his life.
This one hits different. Do not miss it.
