Bitcoin, AI, and self-storage: building the new productive economy with Kenny Alves

A new era of business is emerging, led not by Wall Street but by bitcoin. In this episode, Kenny Alves explains how his family’s self-storage company is becoming a bitcoin treasury, converting cash flow into sound money and preparing to borrow against bitcoin to expand real assets. We discuss why small business adoption is the next frontier of hyperbitcoinization, how bitcoin’s volatility is simply a measure of its growth, and why AI and robotics could accelerate productivity in the bitcoin economy. Kenny reveals how pairing bitcoin with cash-generating businesses could create an unstoppable engine of compounding wealth.
