ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

Bram Kanstein and Adam O'Brien discuss why millennials are debt-maxis in a fiat system that sells slavery with a slick UI. They confront mortgages, credit cards, and Buy Now Pay Later as culture, not just finance. O'Brien breaks down why Bitcoin self-custody demands faith, and why it is actually the cheapest sovereignty on earth. They map Bitcoin as engineered truth, rules not rulers, and proof of work against proof of stake authority. They close on habits, time preference, generational wealth, and why truth-seeking can get spiritual fast.
