New EP is here!
In this episode, I sat down with Ajarn
@piriya , the number 1 Bitcoin Educator in Thailand, for a super deep dive into Bitcoin, money, inflation, and the future of the global financial system.
We discuss what makes Bitcoin different from traditional money, why Bitcoiners believe it is the purest form of money ever invented, the strengths and weaknesses of Bitcoin maximalism, and why understanding money may become one of the most important skills for the next decade.
This conversation covers Bitcoin from first principles, including scarcity, decentralization, inflation, monetary history, self custody, long term conviction, and the risks of Bitcoin going either to millions of dollars or zero.
Whether you are new to Bitcoin or already deep in crypto, this episode will help you think more clearly about Bitcoin, money, and the future.
