    ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

    Bram Kanstein and Handre van Heerden discuss why socialism, communism and fascism are one collectivist idea at three different speeds. Handre explains why socialists never build their own paradise: more than 30 communities since the 1700s starved within three years. He argues the real question is how wealth is created, from Dubai to Venezuela. They unpack Mises' calculation problem and Hayek's knowledge problem. Handre closes with 4,000 years of failed price controls, and New York trying again.

    ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

    Bram Kanstein discusses why Bitcoin needs capitalists, whether you like it or not. Using Rogers' curve, the adoption chasm and the whole product, he shows how every major technology reached the mainstream on boring money. He explains why the 2022 blowups were paper failures, not Bitcoin failing, and why with no lender of last resort, reckless players blow up against Bitcoin. The real danger is paper Bitcoin below the redemption line. The takeaway: let them come, and hold the line.

They also question corporate Bitcoin exposure, stablecoins, and the mental challenge of volatility.
