In this episode of BitCorner Podcast, we sit down with Nikki, Gen Z Bitcoin & AI educator and host of her own podcast, to talk about what it's actually like to grow up right now: rent going up three times in a year, AI eating the job market, a broken monetary system no one taught you about in school — and then discovering Bitcoin. We go deep on why Gen Z might be the most important generation for Bitcoin adoption, how AI is reshaping content creation and careers, low time preference as a life philosophy, and the one hypothetical that will keep you thinking for days: if Satoshi walked up to you in a coffee shop and handed you their private keys — what would you do? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0:00…
