They Built the System So You’d Stay Broke: Here’s the ONLY Way Out

In this episode, I chat with Daniel White, the author of The Great Realignment: Power, Money, Greed, and Bitcoin, and the CEO of MicroSeed, a Bitcoin self-custody startup.

If you’ve ever wondered why the world works the way it does, and how Bitcoin offers a profound shift in that dynamic, this episode is for you.

You’re Not Supposed to Win.
