ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein and Gary Leland discuss why a 200-year time horizon rewires how you hold Bitcoin. Gary breaks down why he hodls, spends in fiat, and treats every purchase like it has a 10-year price tag. They confront fiat debasement, manipulated inflation stats, and why boomers still get stuck on “internet money.” AI, job disruption, and UBI enter the frame, and Bitcoin starts to look like a lifeboat. Along the way, Gary ties early e-commerce and podcasting to Bitcoin’s grassroots, help-first culture.
