Connor sits down with Travis Kling, a prominent crypto hedge fund trader, about the intersection of faith, culture, and cryptocurrency. They discuss the recent surge in Bible sales, which Travis attributes to global instability driving a renewed interest in faith, as well as the decline of religious affiliation in America amid the rise of the internet and challenges like Christian nationalism. Travis shares his views on societal trends, including a potential spiritual resurgence, and explores the concept of spiritual warfare in the context of the 2024 election, linking cultural issues like gender identity and abortion to broader moral struggles. He reflects on his personal faith journey, recounting how challenges and a move to New York City deepened his spirituality. The conversation concludes with Travis’s thoughts on the future of cryptocurrency, including the potential for a strategic Bitcoin reserve under a new administration and its implications for the financial landscape.
