Bitcoin Makes It Easier to Be a Dad
block #844505
synopsis
The Father's Day special. Features a recorded conversation between Ian and his father Julian Reese about Julian's Bitcoin journey — from altcoin "floozies" to BitKey conviction. The episode explores orange-pilling family members, the BitKey as a game-changer for onboarding, Bitcoin as anti-religion (building for descendants rather than personal afterlife), and Ian's "Bitcoin aristocracy" / dynasty thinking.
