There Is No Institutional Adoption | The Confab 11: Fundamentals

Welcome to the The Confab, the term derives from "confidential talk", which was commonly used in the Prohibition Era for meetings and conversations that took place in the smoky, rule-breaking speakeasies of that time.

The informal, privacy focused and clandestine nature of Ungovernable Misfits lends itself to these discussions. So, grab a seat and a stiff drink from the concealed bar, listen and revel in the conversation.

On this episode, host of Rock Paper Bitcoin and writer of Risk Fundamentals, Fundamentals joins Max for a coffee to discuss bitcoin, bears and bravery.

SHOW DISCUSSION

Fundamentals, an actuary turned Bitcoiner, discusses his journey from a disillusioned career in traditional finance to embracing Bitcoin as a means of regaining personal sovereignty. He shares his frustrations with the corruption and lack of integrity in the actuarial profession, and how discovering Bitcoin has given him the conviction to take risks and fight for his beliefs. Fundamentals emphasizes the importance of using Bitcoin as a tool to improve one's life, rather than just hoarding it, and the need for individuals to discover how to live on hard money.
