In this episode of BitCorner Podcast, Alex Stanczyk, a former gold fund manager turned Bitcoin advocate, breaks down the monetary transition unfolding in real time. We go beyond surface-level inflation talk and into structural shifts: • The legacy of Bretton Woods • The truth about Fort Knox • Why gold never fixed the system • And why Bitcoin represents something categorically different This is not a “gold vs Bitcoin” debate.
