Ricky frames Bitcoin by its end state rather than its mechanics, and what actually changes once the money is fixed. They discuss how AI is quietly erasing traditional jobs, what it means to raise children in a post-fiat world, and why Bitcoin is the first asset where physics defends the holder. Can fixing the money fix the world? Did Bitcoin really start as a right-wing movement only to end up somewhere else entirely? A wide-ranging conversation on Bitcoin self-custody and the end of fiat. —------------------------ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Bitcoin's end state (Age of Abundance) 07:20 Why Bitcoin fixes the money 08:10 Creative destruction: fiat vs Bitcoin 10:06 How AI replaces jobs 13:38 How fast will change happen 18:03 Gradually, then suddenly 20:53 Raising kids in a Bitcoin world 23:29 Bitcoin fades into the background 24:21 Bitcoin solves human coordination 27:51 Government shrinks on a Bitcoin standard 32:44 Fix the money, fix the world 38:57 Bitcoin rewards serving, not dominating 40:07 Personal responsibility in the AI age 43:33 Art, meaning, and work after AI 48:09 Physics defends the Bitcoin holder 51:40 Bitcoin: right-wing start, left-wing destination —------------------------ Follow Michael on X: https://x.com/theothermjordan Follow Ricky on X: https://x.com/RealRicky —------------------------ 🎧 LISTEN TO OUR OTHER EPISODES: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheBitcoinWay Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/thebitcoinway RSS: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2334006.rss 🎙ABOUT OUR SHOW: On The Bitcoin Way Podcast, Michael Jordan talks to guests with a wide range of expertise and skillsets related to Bitcoin, including investing, macroeconomic and financial trends, mining, education, and more. 🔗CONNECT WITH US: X: https://twitter.com/thebitcoinway_ N: npub1lrj3lsskez59qu68v5fpnur7ythe7s5e4qcelclha6t6r9q5pqgsl2m LI: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thebitcoinway/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/thebitcoinway_ TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@thebitcoinway Newsletter: https://www.thebitcoinway.com/resources/newsletter ❗DISCLAIMER: This show is for entertainment purposes only.
