This episode was inspired by multiple recents events that have me questioning whether Bitcoin is the best asset and our most valuable resource. Is Saylor wrong? (I know that he meant 'crypto asset', but for US bitcoiners it can at times seem it's both the most valuable asset and resource).This episode is not financial, but rather Bitcoin advice for anyone on their own stacking journey.
