The "What is Money?" Show

The Bitcoin Effect: Why does Bitcoin Radically Change People's Lives? with Robert Breedlove (WiM533)

Episode Summary

I join Vivian Cheng to discuss why the Bitcoin Community is often mistaken as a cult, what the core values of Bitcoin are, if we can ever have enough bitcoin, balancing stacking Sats vs living in the now, the importance of time preference, and how to find courage and motivation during times of adversity. Vivian Cheng is a Bitcoin advocate who elevates Bitcoin companies through marketing and PR. She is also a producer of “Bitcoin Conference Asia” and host of "Life with Bitcoin" - a lifestyle podcast that focuses on personal transformations through the lens of bitcoin, asking the very question "what is it like to live as a Bitcoiner?"
