In this episode of the Firefish Podcast, Igor is joined by Roman Reher (Blocktrainer) and Alberto Mera (Un Podcast Sobre Bitcoin) — two of the most influential Bitcoin-only educators in the German and Spanish-speaking world. Together they discuss the future of Bitcoin, the role of democracy, stablecoins, central banks, and how the global monetary system could eventually move toward a Bitcoin standard. 

From the legacy of the 1971 monetary shift to Bitcoin as global collateral, the conversation explores how Bitcoin could reshape finance, geopolitics, and the incentives of nation states in the decades ahead.
