They link financial nihilism, degeneracy, and anxiety to broken money and high time preference. Halston reveals her orange pill moment after reading Broken Money, then rewiring her life around Bitcoin and sovereignty. They confront the biggest blockers, crypto confusion, unit bias, and the fear of self-custody. They also challenge how to market Bitcoin, build with AI, and keep integrity in a loud finfluencer world.RELAI DISCLAIMERRelai sponsors this show/podcast and is authorized to provide crypto-asset services in Switzerland and across the European Union under the MiCA regulatory framework with its license issued by the French regulator, AMF (License No: A2025-006).
