ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

Bram Kanstein and Seb Bunney discuss why social media wrecks conviction, and why orange pilling usually backfires. They reframe Bitcoin as a mirror that exposes fiat incentives, inflation, and reality distortion. They connect money to values, sovereignty, and how institutions redirect capital into war and subsidies. They confront Bitcoin community division, and ask what keeps the ethos alive across generations. They land on stewardship, lowering attack surfaces, and living the signal, not screaming it.
