Episode notes
"Bitcoin is a rights-protection entity."
Tomer Strolight returns for his ninth visit — and reads four of his own essays start to finish, with conversation in between: Bitcoin Is More, Living With AI, AI Built to Survive, and This Is Not the End.
We discuss why Bitcoin isn't a price but a superstate no government on earth can reach — even as Iran floats a Bitcoin toll in the middle of a war — why self-custody is the whole point, and how inflation's slow squeeze is finally being felt by everyone.
Then it turns: three short stories about living with AI, and what we surrender when we let a machine do our thinking for us.
No host intro, no warm-up. We open cold, on Tomer's voice.
