Sam shares how growing up in a lower-income household fueled a primal drive to create security, why he sees technology as “a proxy for magic,” and how Bitcoin’s evolution mirrors the early internet. They break down Bitcoin as a store of value, Ethereum as programmable money, why AI infrastructure will be a defining business of the decade, and the one thing Sam fears most: loss of freedom through AI-enabled control. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/founder-s-story-648906/episodes/the-ceo-who-predicted-bitcoin-ai-and-what-s-coming-next-ep-396-with-sam-tabar-ceo-of-bit-digital-btbt-and-white-fiber-wyfi/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/founder-s-story-648906/the-ceo-who-predicted-bitcoin-ai-and-what-s-coming-next-ep-396-with-sam-tabar-ceo-of-bit-digital-btbt-and-white-fiber-wyfi.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
