Bitcoin, A Financial & Spiritual Upgrade (with Jake Roque)
Also on YouTube.
An interview with Jake Roque that traces one man's arc from broke college kid to Bitcoin media producer, and uses that arc to open a question the show keeps returning to – once the money works, what is it actually for. The conversation moves from portfolio ethics to slow-fade fiat, from virus-like adoption to a hierarchy of values, and lands on Bitcoin not as the good itself but as a tool more aligned with it than what it replaces.
Takeaways
- 01
Portfolio choices are moral choices – capital directed into a company is economic energy strengthening what that company does in the world.
- 02
Refusing to act on what you believe is right because you fear a drawdown is cowardice with a spreadsheet on top.
- 03
Cycle amplitudes tend to compress as a network matures – the same power law that produced 10x moves produces smaller ones as the base grows.
- 04
Bitcoin spreads through personal networks the way a virus does; one cycle's converts become the next cycle's messengers to their closest ten.
- 05
Everyone operates from a hierarchy of values whether they name it or not, and meaning functions as the internal signal that the hierarchy is aimed correctly.
