Show Notes
NVK joins Marty Bent to unpack why Bitcoin stopped being counterculture and what happens when pension funds buy the asset. They dive into AI's impact on white collar jobs, why local LLMs are the escape hatch from surveillance, and the launch of ARCA, a personal data haven built for Bitcoiners. The conversation covers Saylor's effect on the vibe, UBI as a soul trap, and why building sovereign hardware matters more than ever. Essential listening for Bitcoin maxis and privacy focused builders navigating the bear market.
