Bitcoin’s Parallel Economy Is Starting | Brian De Mint

<p>“The alpha is still in Bitcoin. But it’s just by treating Bitcoin as money.” </p>
<p>Brian De Mint is the head of marketing for Club Orange, a real-world social network for Bitcoiners. </p>
<p>In this episode, we discuss why Bitcoin’s next phase may not just be holding the asset, but building a real economy around it: Bitcoin meetups, IRL community, the case for spending sats, merchant adoption, Lightning payments, Bitcoin mining as a free-market energy solution, and why treating Bitcoin as money can create stronger economic relationships between Bitcoiners. </p>
<p>We also get into food and health to medicine, nutrition and the incentives behind the institutions we’re told to trust.</p>
