ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein and Sam Baker discuss why the 60/40 portfolio breaks when inflation and debt printing return. Sam reveals River’s case for a 10% Bitcoin allocation, and why bonds and even stocks fail in high inflation regimes. They confront how institutions copy what is socially safe, not what is optimal, then slowly raise Bitcoin exposure. The conversation rewires the “volatility” story with rebalancing data and a 3x market cap multiplier. They also challenge Bitcoin-as-payments timelines, separating sovereignty from medium-of-exchange hype.
