Listeners will hear how Bitcoin can inherit gold’s strengths while upgrading them with digital scarcity, trustworthy rules, and a radically longer time horizon for saving and building.Stewart also unpacks his analogy between Bitcoin and Rabelais shaping the French language, examining how culture, art, and ideas are quietly being coded into this new monetary protocol.
