"Make war unaffordable. If we were on a Bitcoin standard, we would not be printing money we don't have. If we're not printing money we don't have, we're not paying for things we can't afford, like missiles." — Heather Larson

Heather has been practicing yoga since 1996 and stacking sats since 2020. We take a deep dive into the similarities between Bitcoin and yoga and discuss why, against a backdrop of war, rising gas prices, and economic uncertainty, both matter now more than ever.
