ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY
Bram Kanstein and Vijay Boyapati, author of "The Bullish Case for Bitcoin," analyze the state of Bitcoin in 2026. We explore the four stages of monetization, why nation-state adoption is no longer a fringe theory, and why the path to becoming a global reserve currency is now a mathematical certainty. From the institutional surge to the "End Game" where fiat ceases to be an exit, this episode is a roadmap for the final stages of Bitcoin’s evolution. If you think $1 million is high, you're still thinking in the old system.
