ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

Bram Kanstein and Natalie Brunell unpack the psychological leap required for Bitcoin adoption and why it's for everyone. The real challenge is moving past the big misconception our generation has about money and learning to act on that knowledge. We discuss how stopping the invisible wealth transfer and embracing self-custody transforms you from a subject of the broken system into a sovereign, building capital in a parallel one. This conversation is about finding hope, agency, and embracing a surprisingly conservative, long-game view.
