ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein and Strive CRO Jeff Walton discuss whether Bitcoin won or got acquired now that Wall Street is building on it. Jeff explains how Strive's daily dividends compress the cost of trust for income investors. He argues that if Bitcoiners don't capture the world's income capital, AI data centers will. They examine why insurers and banks still can't hold Bitcoin efficiently. Jeff closes with why he expects Bitcoin balance sheets to become the shock absorbers of the world's risk.
