ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein and Vijay Boyapati discuss why Bitcoin monetization moves in violent hype cycles, not a neat line up and to the right. They frame volatility as the exchange rate of a new money, not a bug. They confront gold’s “trust me bro” plumbing, from labeling and audits to border risk, and why Bitcoin is gold with teleportation built in. They unpack ETFs, grassroots adoption, and why institutions change one funeral at a time. They map what nation state reserves mean for sovereignty and a post Bretton Woods world.
