Episode notes
Nobody told Connor Dolan that the Stoics figured out Bitcoin 2,000 years before Satoshi — but after a year of research, he proved it.
Connor Dolan — VP of Enterprise Sales at Unchained, former BlackRock and Capital Group — joins The Bitcoin Matrix to break down why Bitcoin and Stoicism are the two most powerful forces shaping how we think about time, money, and how to actually live.
We cover why Bitcoin is the MAP and Stoicism is the COMPASS, how a plastic yellow piggy bank on a kitchen counter started Connor's lifelong obsession with money, why the most educated and successful people are always last to understand Bitcoin, what Memento Mori has to do with your sat stack, how modern monetary policy destroys your ability to delay gratification, why Bitcoin is the reverse marshmallow test, the moment Connor had to tell his wife that the thing he'd been calling the future of finance was down 80%, and how leaving BlackRock for Bitcoin was the easiest decision he ever made.
"There are only two perfectly scarce resources in this world: time and Bitcoin." — Connor Dolan
"It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live." — Marcus Aurelius
