Summary
Parker Lewis, Head of Business Development at Zaprite and author of Gradually, Then Suddenly , has been one of the clearest writers on Bitcoin as money for years. Lately he's been vocal about the Bitcoin treasury companies and the yield products built on them. I wanted to hear him out, but I also pushed back — because I think there's a version of these products that brings in people who wouldn't otherwise be here. We didn't land in the same place, which is what makes it worth your time. In this episode: Why Parker says the simplest way to save in Bitcoin is to own Bitcoin His answer to something I hear constantly: that Bitcoin is too volatile for most people His take on Digital Credit and whether it can work as an on-ramp for people who aren't ready to hold Bitcoin directly What he'd hold instead: a little Bitcoin, and the rest in...cash??
