Bitcoin - An economy by the people, for the people. Store of value, medium of exchange, unit of account, and property...what isn't it?

In this episode of The Nyc & Griff Show, we are joined by fellow pleb Conor Chepenik. We met on Bitcoin Twitter, and as you can imagine he’s another sharp guy that’s done the research. The phycological operation that Bitcoin reveals is shocking, and the paradigm shift only comes after having gone down the Bitcoin rabbit hole.

In this episode of The Nyc & Griff Show, Nyc reads the press release from Fidelity that reveals they will be rolling out the ability for employees to hold Bitcoin within their traditional 401(k). This is a rather larger domino to fall so soon. Who knew that you’d be able to hole Bitcoin in your 401(k) before we would have a spot Bitcoin ETF?!
