In a world saturated with news, hype, and endless chatter, finding clarity can seem like searching for a needle in a haystack. I’ve taken on this challenge and made it my mission to cut through the noise by amplifying the signal. Who am I? I’m Pascal Hügli. With a background in political philosophy, a career in investment management, and a deep expertise in Bitcoin and digital assets, I’m here to explore the ideas and connections that others do not bother to see. It’s not just about finding the right answers; it’s about asking the right questions. In each episode, I interview the most insightful thinkers in their respective fields. Every guest contributes a vital piece to the puzzle, helping us form a clearer picture of the forces shaping our world of macro, finance, and money. Listen in as my guests and I tilt the balance from noise to signal, one podcast episode at a time. Ready to elevate your understanding? Let’s dive in.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-18T06:17:33.404992+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/less-noise-more-signal-7015424"},"episode":{"title":"Lightning Is NOT Dead.
