In this episode, I sit down with Daz, co-author of B For Bitcoin and co-founder of Looking Glass Education, to talk about money, Bitcoin, real estate, and why Bitcoin mining might actually help energy grids rather than harm them.We go deep into what money actually is, why everything from real estate to stocks has a “monetary premium,” and why Bitcoin might be the first true form of money in the digital age.We also break down Bitcoin mining and energy in simple terms and explain why Bitcoin mining can actually make energy grids more efficient rather than wasting energy.This is one of those episodes that will change how you see money, investing, and Bitcoin.Need help doing self-custody properly and securely? https://bitcoinsuccessschool.comGet 5% off your MicroSeed (Seed Phrase Backup):https://microseed.io/?ref=finFollow Daz on X (Twitter): https://x.com/dazbeaNostr: primal.net/p/nprofile1qqsfqvtvsc0kcnfjn7us0zy09y8jpstpz4xv5txdtgs35mmpwg6dx2q526vwsB is for Bitcoin: https://www.amazon.com.au/Bitcoin-Essential-Guide-All-Things/dp/B0C1JDKS7QLooking Glass Education: www.lookingglasseducation.comFollow me on X (Twitter): https://x.com/FinCreightonFollow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/fincreightonSubscribe for new episodes: https://youtube.com/@FinCreighton
