In this episode, Nik explores the difference between money and wealth and why Bitcoin may be more than just money. He breaks down three key pillars of societal wealth creation: production and exchange, capital goods, and innovation. Nik explains how Austrian economics helps us understand the true drivers of prosperity. He compares Bitcoin to productive real estate, argues that its accumulation represents a form of digital capital, and shows how its rising market price reflects deeper economic value. This episode offers a foundational lens for understanding why Bitcoin is both a monetary asset and a store of long-term wealth.
