Show Notes
Adam O'Brien is a bitcoin entrepreneur and the CEO of Bitcoin Well, the first publicly traded bitcoin company in the world that allows customers to self-custody their bitcoin. Bitcoin Well also operates over 250+ bitcoin ATM's across Canada.
Adam's startup story is very inspiring. He bootstrapped his company from one bitcoin ATM in Edmonton, to over 250 ATM's across the country, listing his company on the TSX, and doing ~$100M in annual revenue.
Apart from learning about his incredible business, and what it takes to operate a publicly traded bitcoin company, we also touched on several important macroeconomic topics in this episode, including:
- The position of bitcoin in today's rollercoaster economy
- How over-reaching governments help bitcoin
- The importance of self-custody wallets
- Handling banks and regulations with a bitcoin company
- The emergence of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) around the world, and how that impacts bitcoin
- Best place in the world to be for bitcoin investors and entrepreneurs
This was a very insightful chat that encompasses a wide-range of important topics. I encourage anyone to listen to this episode, whether you're into bitcoin or not. Enjoy!

What is Founder Views - SaaS, Business, and Beyond?
Founder Views is a podcast for SaaS builders who want real conversations, not recycled playbooks.
Hosted by Kosta Panagoulias, a 2x SaaS founder, the show features in-the-trenches conversations with SaaS CEOs, operators, and experts. Each episode digs into the decisions, strategies, wins, and struggles that shape real companies - practical insights from people actively building, not theorizing.
While the core focus is SaaS growth, leadership, and execution, the podcast also leaves room for broader discussions that help founders think better - whether that’s economics, technology, markets, or other big-picture business topics.
If you want raw, easy-to-follow conversations with people who've actually built something, you’ll feel right at home.
