## Resource

Marty sits down with Matthew Mežinskis to discuss Bitcoin's power law price dynamics, the accelerating "treadmill" of traditional markets, escalating geopolitical chaos including Russia's digital authoritarianism and America's shifting foreign policy, and the mathematical tension between Bitcoin's decelerating growth and Wall Street's attempt to subsume it into exponential fiat systems.
