Bitcoin's Final Accumulation Window - Here's What Comes Next

In this episode, I chat with **Parker Lewis**, author of Gradually, Then Suddenly and Head of Business Development at Zaprite. We dig deep into the transition from fiat to a Bitcoin-based economy, why Bitcoin **must become a medium of exchange** to succeed, and how Zaprite is helping pave that path by enabling businesses to accept Bitcoin alongside fiat.

If you’re looking to understand Bitcoin on a deeper economic level, not just as an asset but as the future of money, this episode is for you.
