It's Happening Faster Than You Think (w/ Bevan Waite)

79 min • 6 mars 2025

In this episode I talked to Bevan Waite, creator of the awesome Bit Intelligence YouTube channel and the 21 Voices series. Bevan currently works on global Bitcoin adoption with Samson Mow at Jan3. We talked about why Bitcoin is a fairer financial system for everyone in the world, and why being the hardest money on Earth means its adoption is ultimately inevitable. We talked about why crypto is just a re-creation of the fiat system and how crypto is hyperinflating with the advent of memecoins and tens of millions of new tokens.Bevan also shares his experiences and insights from the 21 Voices series, highlighting interviews with notable Bitcoiners on critical subjects like energy and cryptography.

We also talked about the mission of Jan3 in promoting global Bitcoin adoption from both grassroots and governmental levels.
