Ben Justman joins Eric V Stacks to explore the spiritual and agricultural roots of winemaking, how Bitcoin reshaped his understanding of scarcity, and why all problems trace back to fiat. They discuss addiction and its relationship to fiat currency, how Bitcoin is fuel for an optimistic outlook on life, and how the only thing more scarce than Bitcoin, is time.
