This episode is a little different.
Recently, some of the ideas I’ve shared about Bitcoin on social media have started gaining traction. So I wanted to bring those thoughts together and put them into a dedicated episode.
It’s just me, sharing what I see happening, where the world might be heading, and why I’ve never been more bullish on Bitcoin.
Thank you to everyone who tunes in and supports the show each week, it means the world🙌🧡
