Bitcoin has reached $100k - a milestone that signals not just financial triumph but a deeper shift in power and responsibility. What does it mean to live in a world where individuals, not institutions, hold the keys to wealth? How do we navigate the allure of material gain without losing sight of the values that matter most? This episode delves into the philosophical, economic, and spiritual dimensions of a new monetary paradigm. Exploring Bitcoin's evolution from niche technology to global force, we must ask the question: What kind of society does this create? Will we fall into the same traps of greed and excess, or can we rise to become better stewards of this new power? Reflecting on the meritocratic potential of Bitcoin, this episode wrestles with the consequences of scarcity, and the interplay of wealth, power, and morality. From practical tips on responsible Bitcoin adoption to reflections on idolatry and the pursuit of meaning, this episode challenges listeners to think beyond price charts and ask: How can we build a future on a foundation of rock, not sand?
