ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein sits down with DeAnte Bruton, a new Bitcoiner with big beginner questions. At 28, he compared his high-yield savings account to Bitcoin and realized fiat savings guarantees losing value while Bitcoin protects time and energy. We unpack common beginner fears and questions (“am I too late?”), compare Bitcoin to stocks and real estate, explore how to talk about Bitcoin with older generations, and why ownership in Bitcoin is different from any other asset. If you’ve ever thought you’re late to Bitcoin or struggle to explain it to friends and family, this episode is for you.
