Brandon Quittem, a thinker and writer focused on Bitcoin, dives deep into the concept of 'The Fourth Turning'—a theory explaining cyclical political and social crises. He connects historical patterns to today's global instability and discusses the role of Bitcoin as a means of financial autonomy amid chaos. The dialogue also explores themes of self-sovereignty, the rise of authoritarianism, and the societal desire for order. Quittem emphasizes personal freedom through action and the potential of Bitcoin as a transformative social institution.
