ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein and Daniel Batten explore three massive forces accelerating Bitcoin adoption in 2025—from energy markets and institutional capital to regulatory clarity. Batten reveals why the next 18 months will redefine Bitcoin’s role in global finance, energy, and ESG narratives. We discuss how renewable energy integration is driving mining efficiency, why institutional incentives are aligning faster than anyone expected, and how political and regulatory shifts could ignite the next wave of adoption. Daniel also shares why he believes Bitcoin’s environmental story has flipped from criticism to catalyst, and why these converging trends make this cycle extremely bullish. If you’re following Bitcoin adoption, energy, mining, ESG, or macro investment trends, this high-signal conversation is essential.
