Pierre Rochard: What Cash Flow Investors Miss About Bitcoin
Description
In this episode of Proof of Pain, Tony sits down with Pierre Rochard for a deep Bitcoin conversation that connects economics, investing, and Bitcoin’s design.
We cover Bitcoin Treasury Companies and why the market is starting to group them into Digital Asset Treasury Companies (DATs), why Strategy (MicroStrategy, MSTR) behaves differently than spot Bitcoin, and the Core vs Knots debate around OP_RETURN, ordinals, and what Bitcoin is really for.
