Chat_103 - Rethinking Bitcoin Education and Self-Custody Parenting

2 hours 46 minutes

"When you have a child, you care more than anyone else about that child. You're caring about their long-term success and happiness and their health. If you look at just a first principles basis, what is the school interested in? What is the state interested in? It's more about compliance and conformity. It's not about creativity. It's not about critical thinking. It is conformity and compliance." ~ Tali & Scott

Can a board game teach Bitcoin better than a lecture? Join Tali, Scott, and me as we explore the power of storytelling and games in education, delve into the failures of traditional schooling, and discuss innovative ways to engage and educate about Bitcoin. Discover how a simple game can make complex economic concepts accessible and fun for everyone.
