ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein and Wall Street veteran Dave Weisberger discuss whether markets are actually rigged, and why that story is mostly backwards. He breaks down GameStop, DTCC, and how 2008 was mispriced risk, not cartoon villain market makers. They confront fiat debasement, the Cantillon effect, and how inflation quietly rebuilds feudalism through asset inflation. Dave challenges Ray Dalio on central banks, Bitcoin transparency, and quantum computing risk. Bitcoin lands as a scarce, auditable base layer, but UX, custody, and tax friction still block mass adoption.

ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARYBram Kanstein and Plan C discuss why Bitcoin’s cycle may track the business cycle more than the halving. They tie Bitcoin price action to PMI, liquidity, and why this cycle feels like a quasi bull market. Plan C confronts Stock-to-Flow, argues the halving’s impact fades, and points to long-term holder supply. They map downside using cost of production, quantile bands, and power law. They also challenge Genesis as the “start date” and show why model stability matters for conviction.

ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein and James Check discuss why Bitcoin gets called a Ponzi the moment price drops, and why digital scarcity still breaks people’s brains. They map the psychology of tops and bottoms, from leverage flushes to the slow torture of time pain. Check reframes technical analysis as human behavior plus volume, then uses on-chain cost basis and fair value to read the market. They confront ETF outflows, basis trades, and the great rotation from OG holders to institutions. The episode challenges the four-year cycle, and asks what would actually break the Bitcoin thesis.

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.
