🎯 Episode Thesis
You think the money in your bank is yours. It isn't.
In this episode of BitCorner Podcast, Bram Kanstein — creative entrepreneur, Bitcoin educator, and host of the Bitcoin for Millennials podcast (250+ episodes) — walks us through the wake-up call that changed how he sees everything: a lunch conversation with a colleague at the biggest bank in the Netherlands, where he learned the money in his account legally didn't belong to him.
