ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein and Tony Yazbeck discuss Bitcoin as defiance, not a tech stock. Tony confronts fiat money as surveillance, debasement, and a tax machine that breaks purchasing power. They reveal why ETFs, Bitcoin treasuries, and borrowing against Bitcoin can rewire Bitcoin into counterparty risk. The conversation ties sovereignty to self-custody, the 21 million hard cap, and living on a Bitcoin standard. It also warns what a Lebanon-style collapse could look like in the West.

ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein and Adam Swick discuss how Bitcoin turns raw energy into engineered truth. They cover Adam’s jump from high finance to Bitcoin mining. Swick reveals why proof of work and interruptible load rewires the power grid, not just finance. They break down Bitcoin mining as the buyer of last resort for stranded energy, like filling every empty airline seat. AI data centers enter as a rival with different rules: uptime, fiber, and capex.
