Show Notes
<p>What if Bitcoin really <em>is</em> the best form of money humanity has ever seen… but we don’t last long enough to use it? In this thought-provoking episode, we’re joined by <strong>Dr. Robin Hanson</strong>, economics professor, author of <em>The Age of Em</em>, and OG cypherpunk associate who once rubbed shoulders with Hal Finney and Nick Szabo. </p>
<p>We cover:</p>
<p>✅ Bitcoin's core functionality to the loss of privacy,</p>
<p>✅ the future of governance, and even whether civilization will <em>decline</em> before Bitcoin fully takes hold.</p>
<p>✅ Robin shares his views on crypto vs. Bitcoin, speculative investing, and the problem of fertility collapse threatening humanity’s future progress.</p>
<p>✅ Why Robin believes relic computers may one day hold our last remaining wealth.</p>
<p>Like all guests, Robin must choose $50 USD or $50 in Bitcoin. Chris and Stewart were SHOCKED by his choice.</p>
