In this episode, I’m joined by Scott Dedels, Co-Founder of Block Rewards and author of The Dao of Bitcoin. Scott blends hands-on experience in Bitcoin infrastructure with a deeper exploration of how time, value, and decentralization shape the systems we live in. We dig into how blockchain technology and Bitcoin challenge the way modern society measures and monetizes time, and what that means for the future of finance. Scott reframes debt as monetized future value and inflation as a devaluation of the past, positioning money as a temporal instrument rather than just currency. Drawing from his own experience navigating cryptocurrency, including the Terra Luna collapse, he explains why he sees Bitcoin’s energy-based structure as fundamentally different from other digital assets. If you’re interested in decentralization, financial sovereignty, and the bigger ideas behind Bitcoin, this conversation goes well beyond market headlines.
