In this episode, I sit down with Wyatt O’Rourke, founder of Basilic Financial, to talk about the spiritual and financial rot in America—and why Bitcoin is a necessary antidote. We cover the macro reset currently underway, the false promises of fiat central planning, and what a return to hard money could mean for family, faith, and flourishing in the West.

We explore:

• How Bitcoin is reshaping wealth management and financial planning

• The moral case for Bitcoin in a time of economic despair

• How spiritual clarity and financial sovereignty are intertwined

• The real enemy: the money printer and its downstream effects on society

• Why Bitcoiners may become the next ruling class—and what responsibilities come with that

Before we explore the dynamics at play that sent bitcoin beyond $100,000 and will take it much further during this bull market, let's take a look at the macro environment to understand how the next year in markets will likely unfold.
