Holding On | Sovereignty Through Mathematics Chapter 7 | Bitcoin Infinity Academy #8

This episode of the Bitcoin Infinity Academy covers Sovereignty Through Mathematics Chapter 7: Holding On

In this episode, we explore the historic and financial implications of inflation, saving versus hodling, and the unprecedented scarcity of Bitcoin compared to traditional assets like gold and real estate. We also touch on the psychological aspects of delayed gratification, institutional adoption, and the potent potential for a global wealth transfer through Bitcoin.
