Can I get sick of Bitcoin even if I host a podcast about it?

Continuing this ~intimate~ series, Mandana defends the perspective of the less interested person in a Bitcoin relationship. Sometimes she wants to talk just about anything else. Ian shares why and when he tried to show restraint, but often it’s the most interesting thing on his mind. Mandana asks for slack in moments she’s not receptive, because she is giving as much as she can to share an interest with her husband. Ian shares his tips on how to ease someone unreceptive into Bitcoin talks, they worked on Mandana! Hey, maybe one day you too could have a Bitcoin podcast with your uninterested spouse!

Is Bitcoin better for family planning?

Keeping the conversation going about their relationship and future, Ian shares Jimmy Song's latest essay about the theory that fiat debases the value of having a family. Mandana questions the incentive structures around the cost of raising a family. Ian explains how living on a Bitcoin Standard can shift people’s reliance on the government back to the family; a way of living Mandana relates to given her own upbringing and her big "crazy" family. Because of Bitcoin, and Mandana, Ian says his goal is to build generational wealth for their grandchildren (and maybe to also get his own farm).

Is my bank account in danger, girl?

Mandana learns about how and why #BankruptPaypal was trending over the weekend and gets a breakdown of how easy it is to replace with alternatives like CashApp or Strike. Ian reminds Mandana about the financial repression we’ve seen this year and how Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are the next step. Ian makes the pitch to switch as Mandana compares it to the slow move her friends made to Signal for private messaging. Hey, your nude photos & money deserve the same level of privacy, don’t you think?

Is Our Future Really Set With Bitcoin?

Mandana notices that, like Ian, she's been unreasonably calm about inflation and market crashes but also questions how and when they'll benefit from their Bitcoin if they never sell. Ian attempts to explain the difference between saving and spending Bitcoin and how their initial strategy of combining finances set them up for Bitcoin success with the ultimate goal of “retiring his wife”. In addition to the Satoshi Savings Calculator, Ian shows Mandana one of the websites, Priced In Bitcoin, that helped him convert to the Satoshi mindset and build conviction in the idea that “when you live on a Bitcoin standard, everything has been getting cheaper!”
