Episode notes
Deliberate Exit: Asking To Be Fired
- Avi negotiated leaving by asking his boss to fire him, then submitted resignation to secure severance.
- He made July 4 his notice date as a symbolic act of independence.
Culture Unlocks Broader Adoption
- Culture and emotional hooks matter for mass Bitcoin adoption as much as tech.
- Art and patrons create the emotional connection that broad technical arguments often fail to reach.
Back Artists With Patronage
- Do fund artists and creators via patronage to build culture that amplifies Bitcoin values.
- Treat Bitcoin for the Arts like OpenSats: donations support production, not profit for patrons.
