ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

Bram Kanstein and American HODL discuss how a heavy psychedelic experience can rewire a person toward Bitcoin. They link DMT, free will, and lived experience to the conviction it takes to hodl through volatility. They confront Cantillon effects, institutional tokenization narratives, and why rich people will still buy Bitcoin, just later. Sovereignty shows up as money you can keep, thoughts you can think, and words you can say. The thread is simple, Bitcoin is a tool for personal sovereignty, not a vibe.
