🎙️ About This Episode

Vance Crowe joins Scarce Assets for a wide-ranging conversation on family legacy, farmland economics, inflation, and why Bitcoin is becoming the superior store of value. From his early career at the World Bank and Monsanto to founding Legacy Interviews, Vance brings a unique, real-world perspective on how sound money reshapes behavior across generations, industries, and economies.

We explore his thesis that Bitcoin will eventually demonetize farmland, how inflation quietly destabilizes societies, why cycles matter far less than conviction, and why running a node changed his understanding of Bitcoin forever.

- The origin story of Legacy Interviews and why family storytelling is an irreplaceable asset

- How a World Bank economist accidentally pushed Vance toward Bitcoin

- The farmland store-of-value problem and why Bitcoin alters the economics

- Inflation, The Mandibles, and the politics of a weakening currency

- Hyperbitcoinization vs. stability: why Vance prefers a slow transition

- Government adoption, commodities priced in BTC, and the role of hash rate

- Stablecoins, dollar geopolitics, and the risk of “financial conflict”

- Why most people won’t adopt Bitcoin without guided onboarding

- How running a full node changed Vance’s mental model of Bitcoin
