                        • From Austin to El Salvador, Bitcoin's Future with Brandon Keys

                          Car talks with Brandon Keys from Green Candle Investments to discuss the evolution of PL V4, and the booming Austin Bitcoin scene. They dive into the unique mix of companies that call Austin home. Brandon also shares his experiences from El Salvador, exploring how Bukele's policies are impacting local and global Bitcoin adoption. The conversation goes beyond just Bitcoin adoption and his bold predictions for Bitcoin's future price, touching on bigger topics like the macroeconomic landscape, the influence of Trump, and how the convergence of politics and economics presents major opportunities for Bitcoiners. They even venture into some offbeat areas, including some deep state conspiracies, aliens, and Antarctica talk.
