Young people are so carefree!”, but is it true? In this series ‘Snack for Thought', we dive into real conversations on the money and life issues young adults face, while keeping it light-hearted with a mukbang style, sharing the food gems around our office at Duxton Hill, giving listeners plenty to chew on.As trusted advisers to our affluent clients for over two decades, journeying with different generations, this series also gives parents and guardians insight into what their children or grandchildren (early 20s to 30s) may be experiencing. We explore the topics young adults care about, the challenges they face, and the concerns they discuss with peers. We hope these conversations help you understand them better and connect more meaningfully.In this second episode, Kate and Helen explore the “comparison trap” while enjoying Elijah pies, just a five-minute walk from our office. They discuss how constantly measuring yourself against others, whether it is body image, achievements, or life milestones, can lead to feelings of inadequacy, envy, and anxiety, especially for those in their 20s navigating social media pressures.From holiday weight comments to scrolling through seemingly effortless athletes online, Kate and Helen examine how comparison can push us towards unrealistic standards. They reflect on why knowing what you truly want, appreciating what you already have, and finding contentment in your own journey is key, reminding listeners that sometimes a slice of pie is enough and you do not need the whole cake (those calories!).Music courtesy of ItsWatR.The contributors of this episode are Kate Loo, Community & Events Executive, and Helen Tran, Senior Executive of Media Production, Group Brand Experience, at Providend, the first fee-only wealth advisory firm in Southeast Asia and a leading wealth advisory firm in Asia.Did you know that our Providend's Money Wisdom podcast is now available in video format on YouTube?

Breaking these rules puts civil order at risk. And while murder is the Big Daddy of crimes, codified ordinances across municipal divisions, counties, states, and countries show the nearly endless ways there are to create mayhem. This season, we put our detective skills to the test. This is Season 8, Anything but Murder. This is Episode 23, something is the featured crime. This is Detective Connolly Gets Filmed in 4K by Jack WolffWell, Connolly's gotten himself into another fine mess. He knows Danny Slaw is the bad guy…but what's his crime?Kidnapping, 'cause there's a missing personSmuggling, 'cause there's a tunnelMenacing, 'cause there's a creepy houseCoercion, 'cause something's scaring SilvaConspiracy, 'cause Danny isn't working aloneHere's what Connolly (thinks) he knows:Husband and father Marvin Young disappeared from Mackinac Island. He was last seen going into an abandoned house after an argument with his wife. Recently, there have been Marvin sightings. Locals think it's his ghost.Marvin had a good friend, Jenna, who worked on the docks. She left Mackinac shortly after Marvin disappeared, and showed up in Montana.Deputy Dippersby shared the file with Connolly. Dorthy called Shaw to let him know Connolly was investigating.Almost a year after Marvin disappeared, Danny Shaw arrived on the island with a grant to make a documentary about Marvin.Silva Young admits to arguing with Marvin. He wanted to turn their spare bedroom into an art studio while she wanted it for soon-to-come baby.In the old house, Connolly is warned against going into the basement because Deputy Dippersby said it could collapse. Connolly discovers a tunnel in the basement. When he investigates, Shaw locks him in. It leads to a harbor.Turn up the collar on your trenchcoat and decide: What do we collar Shaw for?ABOUT Jack WolffJack Wolff is a Ball State University student studying Media Production and Music Recording.

Tim Hite is the director of policy at Exodus and a former congressional staffer for Rep. Warren Davidson. He helped shape early self-custody legislation—including the Keep Your Coins Act (a playful nod to “KYC”)—and bridges law, technology, and individual rights. In this episode, Tim's discussion kicks off The Last Free Americans miniseries to share the origin story of self-custody protections on Capitol Hill, how “keep your coins” language differs from the Clarity Act's approach, and what meaningful safeguards against CBDCs could look like.

I had one of those conversations that reminded me why I'm so passionate about exploring the intersection of technology and society. Speaking with Mark Smith, a board member at IBC and co-lead of their accelerator program, I found myself transported back to my roots in communication and media studies, but with eyes wide open to what's coming next.Mark has spent over 30 years in media technology, including 23 years building Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. When someone with that depth of experience gets excited about what's happening now, you pay attention. And what's happening at IBC 2025 in Amsterdam this September is nothing short of a redefinition of how we create, distribute, and authenticate content.The numbers alone are staggering: 1,350 exhibitors across 14 halls, nearly 300 speakers, 45,000 visitors. But what struck me wasn't the scale—it's the philosophical shift happening in how we think about media production. We're witnessing television's centennial year, with the first demonstrations happening in 1925, and yet we're simultaneously seeing the birth of entirely new forms of creative expression.What fascinated me most was Mark's description of their Accelerator Media Innovation Program. Since 2019, they've run over 50 projects involving 350 organizations, creating what he calls "a safe environment" for collaboration. This isn't just about showcasing new gadgets—it's about solving real challenges that keep media professionals awake at night. In our Hybrid Analog Digital Society, the traditional boundaries between broadcaster and audience, between creator and consumer, are dissolving faster than ever.The AI revolution in media production particularly caught my attention. Mark spoke about "AI assistant agents" and "agentic AI" with the enthusiasm of someone who sees liberation rather than replacement. As he put it, "It's an opportunity to take out a lot of laborious processes." But more importantly, he emphasized that it's creating new jobs—who would have thought "AI prompter" would become a legitimate profession?This perspective challenges the dystopian narrative often surrounding AI adoption. Instead of fearing the technology, the media industry seems to be embracing it as a tool for enhanced creativity. Mark's excitement was infectious when describing how AI can remove the "boring" aspects of production, allowing creative minds to focus on what they do best—tell stories that matter.But here's where it gets really interesting from a sociological perspective: the other side of the screen. We talked about how streaming revolutionized content consumption, giving viewers unprecedented control over their experience. Yet Mark observed something I've noticed too—while the technology exists for viewers to be their own directors (choosing camera angles in sports, for instance), many prefer to trust the professional's vision. We're not necessarily seeking more control; we're seeking more relevance and authenticity.This brings us to one of the most critical challenges of our time: content provenance. In a world where anyone can create content that looks professional, how do we distinguish between authentic journalism and manufactured narratives? Mark highlighted their work on C2PA (content provenance initiative), developing tools that can sign and verify media sources, tracking where content has been manipulated.This isn't just a technical challenge—it's a societal imperative. As Mark noted, YouTube is now the second most viewed platform in the UK. When user-generated content competes directly with traditional media, we need new frameworks for understanding truth and authenticity. The old editorial gatekeepers are gone; we need technological solutions that preserve trust while enabling creativity.What gives me hope is the approach I heard from Mark and his colleagues. They're not trying to control technology's impact on society—they're trying to shape it consciously. The IBC Accelerator Program represents something profound: an industry taking responsibility for its own transformation, creating spaces for collaboration rather than competition, focusing on solving real problems rather than just building cool technology.The Google Hackfest they're launching this year perfectly embodies this philosophy. Young broadcast engineers and software developers working together on real challenges, supported by established companies like Formula E. It's not about replacing human creativity with artificial intelligence—it's about augmenting human potential with technological tools.As I wrapped up our conversation, I found myself thinking about my own journey from studying sociology of communication in a pre-internet world to hosting podcasts about our digital transformation. Technology doesn't just change how we communicate—it changes who we are as communicators, as creators, as human beings sharing stories.IBC 2025 isn't just a trade show; it's a glimpse into how we're choosing to redefine our relationship with media technology. And that choice—that conscious decision to shape rather than simply react—gives me genuine optimism about our Hybrid Analog Digital Society.Subscribe to Redefining Society and Technology Podcast for more conversations exploring how we're consciously shaping our technological future. Your thoughts and reflections always enrich these discussions.

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.The rules for law and order create the boundaries for civil co-existence and, ideally, the backdrops for individuals, families, and companies to grow and thrive. Breaking these rules puts civil order at risk. And while murder is the Big Daddy of crimes, codified ordinances across municipal divisions, counties, states, and countries show the nearly endless ways there are to create mayhem. This season, we put our detective skills to the test. This is Season 8, Anything but Murder. This is Episode 12, cock fighting is the featured crime. This is Detective Connolly Gets Down ‘n' Dirty by Jack WolffDELIBERATIONDetective Connolly is up to his eyebrows in another bird-brained investigation. As always, he needs our help if he's going to catch Picante and earn his supper. Here are the places rattling through Connolly's brain where Picante could be hiding:His house, because a home is a castleThe airstrip, because it's bigThe chicken coop, because Conquistador needs his PapaAbout CockfightingCockfighting is an ancient bloodsport. It was believed to have originated in southeast Asia and migrated east. The Persians were believed to have introduced it to the Greeks, where it later spread into Rome. Depicts of cockfighting decorated pottery and other artworks, showing it to be a normal part of life. Numerous sketches and painting depict cockfighting events in England in the 1700s and 1800s. The sport migrated to the US. Over the 20th century, cockfighting was outlawed in many countries but now all. In Colombia, Cuba, Haiti and others, cockfighting is considered part of the cultural heritage and identity. Although legal, many of these regulate the sport.

Bitcoin might still be wildly undervalued—and Adam Back explains why. In this episode, we sit down with Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream, early cypherpunk, and inventor of hashcash, the proof-of-work system that inspired bitcoin mining. Adam shares the story of receiving the first known email from Satoshi Nakamoto, why he didn't buy bitcoin until it hit $100, and how early ideas like b-money and bit gold shaped Satoshi's breakthrough. We explore the importance of a fixed supply, why halvings still move the market, and how doubt keeps bitcoin underpriced. Adam weighs in on treasury adoption, supply shocks, and whether this cycle could break the diminishing returns theory. We also discuss volatility, long-term thinking, and the $100 trillion opportunity bitcoin is unlocking.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe→ Leave a review→ Share the show with your friends and family→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Read Joe Burnett's new report, Repricing the Economy in Bitcoin: https://www.unchained.com/go/repricing-the-economy-in-bitcoin?utm_campaign=strivereport&utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=tbf&utm_content=youtubeTIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Intro1:00 - Why selling bitcoin is like playing against a rigged casino7:38 - Why Adam didn't buy bitcoin until it hit $10010:11 - Realizing bitcoin had bootstrapped into something real13:35 - The underrated role of Nick Szabo, Wei Dai, and Hal Finney19:24 - Why the 2008 financial crisis was perfect timing for bitcoin22:32 - Is bitcoin drifting from its cypherpunk roots?26:01 - How doubt keeps bitcoin undervalued27:52 - Why $10 million bitcoin is still possible31:19 - Why volatility makes bitcoin hard to sell36:36 - Why halvings still impact the price despite being predictable42:35 - Why this cycle could invalidate the diminishing returns theory46:14 - The global unbanked: a $100 trillion bitcoin market48:12 - The 200-week moving average as a price floor50:10 - Price reflexivity: why people buy because it's going up53:07 - The shrinking tradable supply and why halvings still matterWHERE TO FOLLOW US:→ Unchained X: https://twitter.com/unchained→ Unchained Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Burnett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/IIICapital→ Jose Burgos (Director of Media Production) on Twitter: https://x.com/DeFBeD→ Adam Back's Twitter: https://x.com/adam3us
In this episode, we sit down with Vijay Boyapati, author of The Bullish Case for Bitcoin, to explore where we really are in the current market cycle and what comes next. Vijay breaks down four frameworks for valuing bitcoin, explains why gold parity is almost inevitable, and outlines how ETFs and corporate treasury strategies are reshaping adoption. We talk through HODL waves, why the current price action still feels boring, and what it might take to push bitcoin to $10mm+ per coin. Vijay also discusses quantum computing and AI as emerging risks, the importance of ossification, and how a future of abundance may still require sound money. Finally, he shares what he'd update in his original thesis and why the story of Satoshi may become one of the defining legends of the next thousand yearsSUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe→ Leave a review→ Share the show with your friends and family→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Read Joe Burnett's new report, Repricing the Economy in Bitcoin: https://www.unchained.com/go/repricing-the-economy-in-bitcoin?utm_campaign=strivereport&utm_medium=podcast&utm_source=tbf&utm_content=youtubeTIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Intro2:08 - Valuing bitcoin at $1M and $10M4:01 - HODL waves and the psychology of selling5:49 - Four frameworks for bitcoin valuation10:06 - Why bitcoin surpassing gold is nearly certain12:27 - How early we still are in global adoption14:38 - Why ETFs changed the bitcoin game17:32 - How MicroStrategy tapped the bond market20:36 - What's holding bitcoin back today22:41 - Why hyperbitcoinization is unlikely this cycle23:18 - How bitcoin cycles crash and reset27:11 - What could break the MicroStrategy model29:34 - How long-term investors may soften future crashes30:27 - Would you change anything in the bullish case?35:06 - Quantum computing and bitcoin's biggest risk38:02 - Will AI abundance make money obsolete?41:29 - Why time guarantees bitcoin's role in the future46:00 - Bitcoin ossification vs. protocol changes49:27 - Will self-custody or custodians win long term?51:40 - What would Satoshi think today?54:19 - Is bitcoin a digital organism?56:05 - Outside of bitcoin, what excites Vijay most?57:09 - Where to find Vijay and his workWHERE TO FOLLOW US:→ Unchained X: https://twitter.com/unchained→ Unchained Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Burnett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/IIICapital→ Jose Burgos (Director of Media Production) on Twitter: https://x.com/DeFBeD→ Vijay Boyapoti's Twitter: https://x.com/real_vijay
What if bitcoin could spark a nuclear renaissance? In this episode, we're joined by Ryan, better known as Nuclear Bitcoiner, to explore the intersection of nuclear energy and bitcoin. Ryan shares how bitcoin aligns with long-term infrastructure like small modular reactors and how it may reshape the economics of power generation. We walk through the advantages of nuclear over wind and solar, the implications of AI and data center demand, and how microgrids could decentralize the future energy landscape. Ryan also breaks down fusion vs. fission, the role of hash rate flexibility, and why nation-states will inevitably compete for mining dominance. From financing nuclear with bitcoin bonds to rethinking scarcity itself, this episode offers a forward-looking view of energy, incentives, and acceleration.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe→ Leave a review→ Share the show with your friends and family→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Learn why every business will buy bitcoin: https://unchained.com/frontierTIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Intro01:01 - Why Ryan became the nuclear bitcoin03:03 - How bitcoin mining fits perfectly with nuclear microgrids06:36 - Why nuclear beats wind and solar on resilience11:32 - Can small nuclear reactors decentralize the grid?14:11 - The AI and data center energy boom is bullish for nuclear16:24 - Why Microsoft wants to own a nuclear plant20:02 - Bitcoin may fix nuclear financing22:43 - How radiation is misunderstood—and actually saves lives25:14 - What's the difference between nuclear fusion and fission?27:33 - The myth of “cheap” wind and solar energy30:09 - Bitcoin mining adds unmatched flexibility to the grid36:25 - Could bitcoin mining one day use more energy than the world does today?41:05 - Why perfect scarcity is so hard to understand44:51 - How bitcoin bonds could revolutionize nuclear financing52:30 - Final thoughts on bitcoin, nation-states, and the future of energyWHERE TO FOLLOW US:→ Unchained X: https://twitter.com/unchained→ Unchained Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Burnett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/IIICapital→ Jose Burgos (Director of Media Production) on Twitter: https://x.com/DeFBeD→ Nuclear Bitcoiner's Twitter: https://x.com/NuclearBitcoinr

Saving Elephants | Millennials defending & expressing conservative values
Former president Chester A. Arthur is probably best remembered for his mutton chops and as a trivia question. But he did play a surprising role as a reformer when the nation was in the grips of political corruption. And the story of how he found the courage to do so holds some lessons for how we might interact with political power today in hopes of a better tomorrow. Joining Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is Destry Edwards to discuss his new documentary Dear Mr. President: The Letters of Julia Sand, and how a single citizen can have an outsized effect on our political system. About Destry Edwards Destry Edwards is the Media Production and Studio Manager at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. With a passion for both film and politics, Destry seeks to use storytelling as a way to bridge the gap between people and policy. He is a native of the great state of South Carolina. Before coming on with CEI, Destry's background includes time at FreedomWorks and Blaze Media. Destry holds a Bachelor of Science in Cinema Production from Bob Jones University. About the Documentary In 1881, following President James Garfield's assassination, the country was in turmoil. Many suspected Vice President Chester Arthur, a long-time beneficiary of the spoils system, to be a party to the plot and dreaded his ascension to the presidency. In the immediate aftermath—and before the height of the women's suffrage movement—New Yorker Julia Sand wrote to the soon-to-be President. Between August 1881 and September 1883, Sand penned 23 letters to President Arthur imploring him to abandon his corrupt machinations, become the leader the country deserved, and champion civil service reform. The Competitive Enterprise Institute proudly presents the documentary Dear Mr. President: The Letters of Julia Sand to discover the outsized effect a single citizen can have on our political system. You can watch the full documentary on the streaming platform SalemNow.
What happens when a former underground miner and Navy fighter pilot goes all in on bitcoin? In this episode, we sit down with George Bodine to find out. George shares his unique journey—from hauling rock beneath the earth to flying jets—and how it led him to see bitcoin as the only escape from a broken monetary system. We explore his view on inflation, the collapse of the American dream, and why he believes bitcoin could reach $2.4 million by 2030. George breaks down the risks of yield products, the role of ETFs and MicroStrategy, and the repeal of SAB 121. He shares his thoughts on Tether and 21 Capital, the rise of the national strategic bitcoin reserve, and the possibility of sovereign accumulation. We close with a thoughtful discussion on whether bitcoin is ultimately for optimists or pessimists—and his message to the next generation.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe→ Leave a review→ Share the show with your friends and family→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Watch the video premiere of Bitcoin, Not Crypto: https://unchained.com/frontierTIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Intro1:14 - From underground miner to Navy pilot to Delta captain4:17 - Realizing you can't outrun fiat money after the GFC6:57 - Living through Nixon's gold shock and the petrodollar pivot9:06 - Why gold bugs are future bitcoiners12:51 - Will young people be locked out of owning meaningful bitcoin?16:49 - A volatile but hopeful transfer of wealth to ethical builders18:59 - Coinbase yield product and the future of bitcoin financial services27:52 - Tether, 21 Capital, and Strategy30:19 - SAB 121, stablecoin legislation, and the national strategic reserve46:51 - Bitcoiners will inherit the world50:11 - TradFi anger, denial, and inability to accept yield-less assets01:05:28 - Will art improve on a bitcoin standard?WHERE TO FOLLOW US:→ Unchained X: https://twitter.com/unchained→ Unchained Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Burnett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/IIICapital→ Jose Burgos (Director of Media Production) on Twitter: https://x.com/DeFBeD→ George Bodine's Twitter: https://x.com/Jethroe111
What if bitcoin really is decoupling from the stock market? In this episode, we're joined by Rational Root, creator of the Bitcoin Strategy Platform and one of the top on-chain cycle analysts in the space. We explore whether macro chaos and rising gold prices are setting the stage for bitcoin to chart its own path. Root breaks down how the 4-year cycle could break, what historical data says about the current inflection point, and why he believes institutional flows are quietly limiting downside volatility. He also shares his custom spiral and 3D valuation charts, how to track hype in the market, and why 100k bitcoin might be harder to break than most think.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe→ Leave a review→ Share the show with your friends and family→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Buy bitcoin in an IRA—sign up today and get your first year free: unchained.com/frontier→ Watch the video premiere of Bitcoin, Not Crypto: https://unchained.com/frontierTIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Intro1:06 - Why bitcoin's fundamentals have never looked better4:20 - Could macro chaos trigger bitcoin's decoupling?10:06 - Bitcoin trades on optimism, gold trades on fear17:09 - Is gold's rise setting up bitcoin's breakout?22:01 - Will the next recession break the 4-year cycle?30:23 - Why 100k bitcoin may face resistance36:09 - The 3D chart that could predict the cycle top44:10 - Bitcoin's floor price keeps rising50:23 - Will bitcoin crack 100k or break down?WHERE TO FOLLOW US:→ Unchained X: https://twitter.com/unchained→ Unchained Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Burnett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/IIICapital→ Jose Burgos (Director of Media Production) on Twitter: https://x.com/DeFBeD→ Rational Root's Twitter: https://x.com/therationalroot

Energy production is broken—and rebuilding it could unlock a new era of abundance. In this episode, we sit down with Isaiah Taylor, founder of Valor Atomics, to explore how cheap energy can reshape the world. Isaiah shares his family's history with the Manhattan Project, why nuclear innovation stalled in the West, and how Valor is building modular giga-sites to produce cleaner, cheaper energy at scale. We discuss how robotics, AI, and manufacturing are shifting cost curves, the future of energy demand, and why decentralization is key to national resilience. Isaiah also shares his thoughts on bitcoin, the dangers of regulatory bloat, and how restoring antifragility to America's legal system could unleash a new industrial boom.SUPPORT THE PODCAST:→ Subscribe→ Leave a review→ Share the show with your friends and family→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description→ Buy bitcoin in an IRA—sign up today and get your first year free: unchained.com/frontier→ Watch the video premiere of Bitcoin, Not Crypto: https://unchained.com/frontierTIMESTAMPS:0:00 - Intro1:04 - Isaiah Taylor's Manhattan Project family history3:18 - Secrecy inside America's Secret City5:37 - Why America needs new Manhattan Projects today7:39 - How Valor Atomics is rethinking nuclear reactors10:01 - How a nuclear reactor really works13:38 - Why building reactors became a legal and talent problem16:59 - How AI is pushing investors toward hard tech18:59 - The future of energy: exponential demand and production21:46 - Why energy prices have been broken since the 1970s26:06 - Valor's giga-site model to transform energy markets30:27 - Could machines create an infinite energy feedback loop?33:57 - Humanity's mission: garden the universe36:19 - Will money still matter in a post-scarcity world?40:34 - How regulatory bloat crushed American industry48:10 - Why Isaiah Taylor is suing the Nuclear Regulatory CommissionWHERE TO FOLLOW US:→ Unchained X: https://twitter.com/unchained→ Unchained Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom → Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter → Joe Burnett's Twitter: https://twitter.com/IIICapital→ Jose Burgos (Director of Media Production) on Twitter: https://x.com/DeFBeD→ Isaiah Taylor's Twitter: https://x.com/isaiah_p_taylor

In this episode, we dive into bitcoin's impact on the future global monetary order with Natalie Smolenski, an anthropologist and bitcoiner. We discuss her thoughts on how bitcoin challenges the state's monopoly on currency, invoking Karl Marx's unexpected agreement that gold, a commodity, originally embodied money—not the state-minted currencies. Natalie explains her fascination with the concept of the invaluable—elements of culture and society that transcend monetary value—and how bitcoin fits in today's culture. We also tackle bitcoin's role as a deflationary currency in contrast to fiat's inflationary tendencies, highlighting its potential to redefine economic and social hierarchies.
