I like most the format of your podcasts where you explain to your guests how they're wrong 😄

I like the idea that the fiat system and the high inflation environment brings about speculation, a.k.a. altcoins frenzy

I see bitcoin as a store of value currently for the long-term, but I also see that as phase 1.
Phase 2 when everyone is in it, it will become a currency and not fluctuate much at all.
However, I dont see a world where the US govt doesnt try to stop it. And maybe they cant, but they can delay it success for quite a while.

Solana is no joke. But agree about all other alts.
