Ep: 371 - From Gold to Code: Bitcoin, Human Nature & the Future of Money

What does Bitcoin have to do with human relationships? More than you'd think — and Hannah Praley is here to prove it. In this episode of The Decision Hour, host Mr. Adam Bird sits down with longtime friend Hannah Praley — songwriter turned author — to explore her new book, Rigs Are from Mars, Nodes Are from Venus. What starts as a conversation about Bitcoin quickly becomes something much bigger: a deep dive into human behavior, incentive structures, and the forces that have quietly shaped civilization for centuries. Hannah breaks down how our monetary systems have been distorted over time and why that matters to everyday people, not just economists. She and Mr. Bird unpack what Bitcoin's design reveals about ancient patterns of human interaction, how mining and nodes mirror the dynamic between men and women, and why the analog and digital worlds aren't opposites, they need each other. With humor, candor, and genuine insight, Hannah brings a perspective that's equal parts intellectual and accessible. Whether you're deep in the Bitcoin rabbit hole or you've never bought a satoshi, this episode will make you think differently about money, relationships, and what it means to build something that lasts. Don't miss this inspiring story of a creative mind finding truth at the intersection of finance, human nature, and connection. 🔗 Website: Amazon 📸 Instagram: IG Learn more about your ad choices.
