Episode Details

Parker Lewis wrote Gradually Then Suddenly to answer the logical questions every serious Bitcoiner has to work through. Today he joins Tyler Rowe to zoom out and land the plane on what every Bitcoin treasury investor and executive should understand.

He breaks down why Bitcoin treasury companies are a speculative attack on fiat, why STRC makes sense if you understand Bitcoin and looks like a Ponzi if you don't, why fiat has about a decade of runway, and why only 1% of the world understands Bitcoin today while 100% are going to need it.

He also covers Iran demanding Bitcoin for Strait of Hormuz passage, why Bitcoin miners pivoting to AI never understood Bitcoin, and what ZapRite is building for the circular Bitcoin economy.
