Episode notes
“The alpha is still in Bitcoin. But it’s just by treating Bitcoin as money.”
Brian De Mint is the head of marketing for Club Orange, a real-world social network for Bitcoiners.
In this episode, we discuss why Bitcoin’s next phase may not just be holding the asset, but building a real economy around it: Bitcoin meetups, IRL community, the case for spending sats, merchant adoption, Lightning payments, Bitcoin mining as a free-market energy solution, and why treating Bitcoin as money can create stronger economic relationships between Bitcoiners.
We also get into food and health to medicine, nutrition and the incentives behind the institutions we’re told to trust.
