Bram argues that millennials are uniquely primed to understand Bitcoin: they came of age as the promised path of study, job, house, and retirement quietly stopped working, and having lived the shift from analog to digital, they instinctively grasp what digital scarcity really means. The conversation covers why the money in your bank legally isn't yours, why your stocks are just database entries held by the DTCC, why even a paid-off home is owned by permission, the hidden 'second job' of fighting inflation, and why Bitcoin is the one asset you can actually verify and hold yourself. Essential viewing for anyone serious about understanding Bitcoinโ€™s real promise โ€” and what it actually means to truly own something.
