From GameStop to Global Reserves: Why Bitcoin Is the New Safe Haven

In this episode of The Web3 Prof Podcast, we sit down with Roberto Rios—better known as Peruvian Bull—to explore why Bitcoin is more than just a speculative asset. As a former core member of the GameStop movement and a leading voice in Bitcoin circles, Roberto draws powerful connections between grassroots financial revolutions and Bitcoin's potential role as a global reserve currency.We dig into pressing questions: What makes Bitcoin a serious contender against gold and U.S. Treasuries? Why are institutions and nations slowly waking up to its value? What challenges does it still face from central banks and governments? And how does the GameStop saga reflect Bitcoin’s ethos of decentralization and financial sovereignty?We also unpack the power of memes, narratives, and online communities—how they’ve driven engagement for both GME and BTC—and what they tell us about the future of finance, including the potential for tokenized equities.If you're curious about where finance, tech, and culture collide, this conversation is a must-listen.Subscribe now to The Web3 Prof Podcast and be part of the movement shaping the future of money.
