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.

ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

Bram Kanstein and Daniel Batten explore three massive forces accelerating Bitcoin adoption in 2025—from energy markets and institutional capital to regulatory clarity. Batten reveals why the next 18 months will redefine Bitcoin’s role in global finance, energy, and ESG narratives. We discuss how renewable energy integration is driving mining efficiency, why institutional incentives are aligning faster than anyone expected, and how political and regulatory shifts could ignite the next wave of adoption.

If you’re following Bitcoin adoption, energy, mining, ESG, or macro investment trends, this high-signal conversation is essential.
