They get into the DIY renovation, a tiered membership model that runs from co-working up to 24/7 builder access, Bitcoin-sourced ingredients and tallow-fried food, and how stacking a restaurant, a clubhouse, and a circular economy into one hub is what makes the whole thing sustainable — even in a bear market. The episode closes on their September Value for Value Summit, where sat-streamed live music, a Bitcoin bodega, and Freedom Tech workshops will put the meetup layer's economics on full display.
