🎙️ About This Episode

A multi-trillion dollar economy is being built beneath the one you know. James Camp — pragmatist, Bitcoiner, and AI implementation consultant — joins the crew to map out the agent economy taking shape right now, why AI agents will likely settle on Bitcoin as a long-term store of value even as stablecoins handle day-to-day transactions, and what the Jack Dorsey/Block layoffs actually signal about where corporate America is headed.

The conversation covers quantum FUD, the order of operations for hyperbitcoinization, why the average American doesn't need to care about Bitcoin for it to win, and what it means to be a pragmatist before you're a Bitcoiner.
