ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein and Stephen Perrenod explore Bitcoin as 'Money 3.0', focusing on its mathematical foundations and energy-based value proposition. The discussion centers on power laws governing Bitcoin's exponential growth patterns and the network effects driving adoption.Key mathematical concepts include Bitcoin's supply constraints creating predictable scarcity dynamics, market efficiency through volatility patterns, and the Kelly Criterion for optimal investment sizing. Perrenod highlights how Bitcoin's growth follows similar power law distributions seen in other revolutionary technologies.The conversation examines Bitcoin's market cap trajectory toward $1 million per coin, analyzing liquidity triggers for market bubbles and institutional adoption mathematics. They emphasize Bitcoin's technological evolution mirrors other network-effect innovations, where value increases exponentially with user adoption rather than linearly.The mathematical thesis: Bitcoin's fixed supply algorithm combined with growing network adoption creates a deflationary asset with predictable long-term price appreciation, making the million-dollar target a mathematical probability rather than speculation.

Bram Kanstein and Boyd Cohen discuss how how Boyd, even with a Ph.D., didn’t understand Bitcoin—until it rewired how he saw energy, incentives, and power.

ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein and Michael Tanguma tackle one of the most important questions facing investors today:
What happens when Bitcoin goes mainstream—and most institutions still don’t understand what they’re holding?
They unpack why corporate and sovereign adoption will be the ultimate stress test for conviction, and how most portfolios are built on narratives, not first principles. Michael brings deep experience in risk management and macro strategy to explain why Bitcoin is misunderstood, mispriced, and mispositioned—especially by the people adopting it.
This conversation covers:
🔶 Why corporate adoption is a high-pressure signal test🔶 How traditional finance traps decision-makers🔶 The difference between narrative risk and asset risk🔶 First-mover advantages in an evolving macro landscape🔶 Why Bitcoin demands a new financial lens
If you're trying to see through the noise and prepare for what’s next, this episode delivers the clarity.
