Why Does Bitcoin Often Change How People Think About Their Health?

Health has been central to my life for more than 20 years, so it's been fascinating (and surprising) to observe the impact which learning about and adopting bitcoin seems to be having on how people approach their diet, fitness, and many other aspects of well-being.

What is inspiring this? Is it a 'lower time preference'? More hope and optimism about the future? The effects of encountering some kind of profound truth?

To delve into these questions, Nick, a bitcoiner and physical therapist in Canada, joined me for the inaugural episode of the ‘Bitcoin Health Hang’.

Nick was also an instrumental character in the Freedom Convoy, helping to facilitate donations to the truckers, so we spent the first part of the episode discussing his experiences with that, and what his life has been like since.

Enjoy!
