024 - Daniel Batten - Bitcoin for Millennials

Daniel Batten is a ClimateTech Investor, author, and business educator from New Zealand. He has a passion for sustainable development and entrepreneurship and spent 10 years training tech CEOs. His interest in ClimateTech led him to a startling discovery on the potential of Bitcoin as a tool to combat climate change, counteracting mainstream belief and cementing his place as a visionary in the field. His book, "How to change the world with one pitch”, contains a blueprint that he now uses to effectively orange-pill people on Bitcoin. We talked about the challenging process of questioning one's beliefs and the ego's role in intellectual honesty. This episode is not just about Bitcoin; it's about how we approach change, both personally and globally. I hope you enjoy this episode!
