In today's episode Dan and Trent get into the ups and downs of living a digital nomad life.  Fittingly we recorded this episode from the back of an Uber so please excuse any audio issues.  

Focus on what is most important: 

• Time with the people you love
• Meaningful experiences
• Bitcoin

Dan and Greg sit down with Matty and launch a new series: Why Bitcoin?  A fresh look at Bitcoin from a newcomer's perspective.

Part 1: Getting Off Zero

Why does everyone need Bitcoin?  In Part 1, we get into the fundamental first step of getting off zero.  How to think about Bitcoin.  What is it?  What problems does it solve?  How do I even think about it?  

We will go through the entire Bitcoin journey with Matty, get him off zero and explore all the related issues in future episodes.   

Enjoy this journey down the rabbit hole with us.

Dan and Greg break down the 5 things you need to know about Bitcoin and the world for the week of Sept 25, 2024.  We get into:

• BTC: The SEC finally approved options trading for the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF.  This is a watershed change that will bring waves of capital into the Bitcoin space.
• BTC: The SEC also approved Wall Street bluechip bank BNY Mellon to custody Bitcoin.  This is a major step in institutional adoption.
• Only Tradeoffs: We discuss various stores of value and the process of actually selling them and how Bitcoin is such a radical improvement.
• Clown World: Money printer go brrrrrrrr in China!
• On Radar: Two great book recommendations:
  • Lords of Finance
  • The Prize

Trent is back in the saddle for a Music episode!

We go deep on a recent experience that blew my socks off: seeing Pearl Jam at Fenway Park.  We break it all down and of course tie it to the big themes of life and, of course, Bitcoin.  

And go listen to Pearl Jam's new record Dark Matter immediately if not sooner.   Instant classic.  

Live outside of your comfort zone people, that is where life is.  

Enjoy!
