ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

Bitcoin isn't just code; it’s a reflection of reality itself. In this episode, I explore how a 117-year-old book called The Kybalion predicted the failure of fiat money 100 years before Bitcoin existed. We dive deep into the Cantillon Effect, why "hustle culture" is actually a monetary symptom, and how central banks use dark mental alchemy to manipulate belief. If you’ve felt like a pawn on a chessboard, this is your guide to stepping off the pendulum and finding the fixed frequency.
