ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein and Fernando Nikolić discuss why legacy media now feels like “olds,” not news. They frame the information age as a dam breaking, flooding everyone with noise and killing the old monopoly on truth. They confront how algorithms, AI, and niche incentives bend narratives, even inside Bitcoin. They connect media collapse to institutions, money, and sovereignty, where Bitcoin offers verifiable truth. They end on extreme curation, personal agency, and why most people still outsource thinking.
