ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein and Will Reeves discuss how Bitcoin reintroduces the power of saving in a system designed to discourage it. He explains how Fold uses familiar financial tools—like credit cards and rewards—to guide people out of fiat and into Bitcoin. We explore how Bitcoin acts as a mirror, exposing the hidden games of the legacy system and empowering individuals with real agency. Will shares why Fold chose TradFi rails over Lightning, and how that decision is accelerating real-world adoption. This conversation reveals how Bitcoin isn’t just a store of value—it’s a shift in mindset, behavior, and everyday life.
