ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

Bram Kanstein and Jordi Visser—a veteran Wall Street investor turned macro visionary—explore how AI and Bitcoin are converging to reshape the global economy, financial markets, and human productivity. Drawing from decades in high finance, Visser explains why the debt-fueled monetary system is reaching its breaking point and how AI-driven deflationary innovation is transforming capitalism itself. They discuss why Bitcoin is the purest AI trade, how it has no competition as a digital store of value, and why it will serve as the foundation for a post-work, tokenized economy. This wide-ranging conversation unpacks the future of entrepreneurship, wealth preservation, and the mindset shifts needed to thrive in the coming AI–Bitcoin revolution. If you’re exploring Bitcoin, AI, macroeconomics, innovation, or the future of money, this episode is a must-watch roadmap for the decade ahead.
