ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

Bram Kanstein and Boyd Cohen discuss how how Boyd, even with a Ph.D., didn’t understand Bitcoin—until it rewired how he saw energy, incentives, and power. In this episode, Bram unpacks Boyd’s intellectual journey from climate tech professor to Bitcoin maximalist, and how Bitcoin challenged everything he thought he knew. They explore how fiat erodes meaning, why academia gets it wrong, and what a Bitcoin-based civilization could actually look like. This conversation is raw, disruptive, and rooted in hard-earned clarity. If you think you're too smart to fall for fiat—you’re probably wrong.

Axel Raven is a Hard Money and Bitcoin advocate known for their his TikTok and X posts on hard money, decentralization, and the flaws of fiat systems.

ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

Bram Kanstein and Michael Tanguma tackle one of the most important questions facing investors today:

What happens when Bitcoin goes mainstream—and most institutions still don’t understand what they’re holding?

They unpack why corporate and sovereign adoption will be the ultimate stress test for conviction, and how most portfolios are built on narratives, not first principles. Michael brings deep experience in risk management and macro strategy to explain why Bitcoin is misunderstood, mispriced, and mispositioned—especially by the people adopting it.

This conversation covers:

🔶 Why corporate adoption is a high-pressure signal test🔶 How traditional finance traps decision-makers🔶 The difference between narrative risk and asset risk🔶 First-mover advantages in an evolving macro landscape🔶 Why Bitcoin demands a new financial lens

If you're trying to see through the noise and prepare for what’s next, this episode delivers the clarity.
