ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

Bram Kanstein and Gus Boldrini discuss why fiat money quietly rewires people into nihilism, debt, and short-term thinking. They map the slow boil, money printing, 1971, the Fed, and why inflation finally forces attention. Gus frames Bitcoin as psychological relief, time preference, and a way to get your time back through DCA and self-custody. They confront institutional adoption, ETFs, stablecoins, and the Clarity Act as legitimacy ramps. The close lands on staying humble, stacking sats, and building conviction before the bag holders wake up.
