We tackle Bitcoin's path to taking gold's market share, the rotation trade catalyst that could drive prices to $150K+, and how Bitcoiners are accidentally FUDing themselves with quantum computing concerns. The conversation also explores the failure of crypto's \"fat protocol thesis,\" Bitcoin's growing mainstream media acceptance, and the rise of application-layer adoption through projects like chat.
