Hi, I’m Mike — I run this channel.
I started Brain Snacks to explore big questions and complex topics, and to try explaining them in plain English. I’m not an expert in any of these subjects — just a curious person trying to make sense of the world.
Instead of diving super deep, we keep things high level and accessible. No jargon. Just a clean overview of how things work, with a bit of history, a touch of technical insight, and a look at the economic, social, and future implications of whatever we’re talking about.
This is my curiosity journey — and you’re welcome to come along.

What is cryptocurrency, really—and why does it matter? In this episode, we break down how crypto works, why it was created, and how it's being used today—from cross-border payments to financial access and decentralized finance. We explore the differences between Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins, highlight the risks to banks and governments, and explain why crypto is challenging the very idea of money itself—all in plain English.
