    ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

    Everyone talks about price. Almost no one talks about boredom. In this episode, American HODL returns to Bitcoin for Millennials to explain why the hardest part of hodling isn’t volatility — it’s time. We explore why the biggest threat to your Bitcoin stack isn’t panic-selling or regulation, but the quiet erosion of conviction that happens when nothing seems to move. Topics we cover:

    • Why this bull market feels slow, stable, and strangely boring
    • How boredom and greed destroy most Bitcoin holders
    • The psychology of conviction and long-term thinking
    • Bitcoin as “engineered truth” and the dissolving force of fiat
    • Why incentives, not ideology, make Bitcoin unstoppable
    • The “Paperclip Maximizer” theory: how Bitcoin turns the world into Bitcoin
    • Why even BlackRock and nation-states will eventually bend to its rules

    This is a raw, high-signal conversation about what it really takes to hold through the monetization of truth.
