## Resource

In this episode of Hosting Bitcoin, we sit down with Gen ZBTC — Bitcoin educator, speaker, and one of the most recognizable young voices in the movement to unpack what Bitcoin uniquely means for a generation that feels locked out of ownership, freedom, and truth. From meme coins and WallStreetBets to speaking at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., Gen Z shares his story of losing money in “crypto,” finding conviction in Bitcoin, and discovering how broken incentives, inflation, and nihilism have shaped Gen Z’s view of adulthood and wealth. We explore why Bitcoin resonates with a generation raised online, how self-custody became his turning point, and why showing up in real life from local meetups to D.C. policy events, actually matters. This is an honest, high-energy conversation about truth, responsibility, and reclaiming ownership in a world that tells you it’s impossible.
