The Real Reason Why Everyone Will Run to Bitcoin in 2026

In this episode, I sit down with Walker America, host of the Bitcoin podcast and one half of The Crypto Couple, to explore his journey into Bitcoin, content creation, and podcasting. We discuss the separation of money and state, the power of independent media, low time preference living, homeschooling, and what it truly means to build a Bitcoin family.

This conversation dives deep into why Bitcoin is not just a financial tool, but a framework for reclaiming time, sovereignty, and generational legacy.
