Why Buy Bitcoin? The Future of Finance on a Bitcoin Standard w/ Andy Edstrom (JWP36)

In Episode 36 of The Jake Woodhouse Podcast, Andy Edstrom and I answer the question: why buy Bitcoin, discuss how far Bitcoin has come in traditional finance over the last decade, and explore what planning for the future looks like on a Bitcoin standard. We dig into the ETF vs self-custody debate, inheritance strategies, how to personalize self-custody for your unique situation, the long-term vision for building Bitcoin-native financial infrastructure, and how Bitcoin allows us to reclaim our time and focus on what is truly important.
