Host Bram Kanstein unpacks the fiat operating system: Scarcity Panic, High Time Preference, Identity Through Consumption, and Learned Helplessness. Bitcoin becomes the crack that exposes money creation, debt, and why “fiat nature” feels like reality. Self-custody, 12 words, flips sovereignty from theory into something you feel. Then comes the hard part: loneliness, community, and choosing to build.RELAI DISCLAIMERRelai sponsors this show/podcast and is authorized to provide crypto-asset services in Switzerland and across the European Union under the MiCA regulatory framework with its license issued by the French regulator, AMF (License No: A2025-006).
