ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

Bram Kanstein and Eric V. Stacks discuss the big picture of Bitcoin and why simplifying your life around a scarce asset is a radical act. Eric shares his journey from the cannabis farm to co-hosting with Robert Breedlove, exploring how Bitcoin forces an introspective transformation. We dive into the profound implications of monetary scarcity and why getting "right with yourself" is the most important step after finding Bitcoin. Discover why everything we were taught about money might be wrong and how to find your own path in a world of fiat confusion.
