*ABOUT BITCOIN FOR MILLENNIALS PODCAST* Join Bram Kanstein and his guests on a journey to learn how our current financial system works, why it is flawed, and why Bitcoin is the most relevant technological discovery you should understand and adopt.
*EPISODE SUMMARY* Bram Kanstein and Simon Dixon break down the most common arguments against Bitcoin—and why they don’t hold up. We cover Bitcoin’s resilience through crashes, why speculation is a feature not a flaw, and how mining incentives keep the network secure. Simon explains why altcoins are distractions, why Bitcoin can’t be banned, and how its decentralized architecture protects it from manipulation. This is a deep dive into Bitcoin’s design, antifragility, and long-term dominance. If you’ve ever questioned whether Bitcoin can survive, this episode is for you.
