About this episode

Natalie Brunell discusses the broader implications of Bitcoin beyond its price, drawing from her family's experiences and the societal impacts of fiat money.

Natalie Brunell joins Jake Roque to explain why Bitcoin is about much more than price, her family's experience living under communism in Poland, and why understanding money changes the way we think about freedom, hope, family, and the future. They discuss why fiat money erodes society over time, how inflation changes incentives, whether institutions are helping or hurting Bitcoin adoption, the role of self custody, and why the Bitcoin community needs more thoughtful conversations instead of constant infighting. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR!
