About this episode
Rob Wallace from Bitcoin News is not your typical Bitcoiner, this is a guy who spent four years living in Shanghai, bought his first 2.2 bitcoin at an ATM in 2016… only to have them stolen at a Las Vegas airport. We cover the macro chaos unfolding around us, why Eastern Europe might be civilization's last immune system, and what the Fourth Turning actually looks like from the inside. We dig deep into the corporate Bitcoin treasury mania: who's holding the line and who already blinked. Mainly, we discuss why the next wave of bitcoin adoption will come from a crisis.
