This week McIntosh and Kenshin dive deep into the "Printer Go BRRR" meme that became a serious economic discussion during COVID. They explore what M2 money supply actually means and how it's grown consistently at 6-8% annually for decades, with a shocking 40% spike during 2020-2021. The hosts discuss how this money printing directly correlates with real inflation rates, which are much higher than official government CPI numbers suggest.
The episode's highlight is an incredible chart showing Bitcoin's price perfectly tracking M2 money supply with just a three-month lag, demonstrating Bitcoin's role as a hedge against fiat debasement. With Bitcoin currently near all-time highs at $111,470 and recent political spending bills adding trillions more to the debt, the hosts examine what this means for Bitcoin's future price trajectory.

They also touch on listener feedback about Bitcoin as a medium of exchange, recent tech updates in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and the ongoing political reality that money printing will likely continue as politicians prioritize short-term election wins over long-term fiscal responsibility.

McIntosh challenges Michael Saylor's "never sell your Bitcoin" messaging, arguing it contradicts Austrian economics principles and Bitcoin's purpose as money. Use the text of some of the greats of Austrian Economics it's time to take a hard look at a prominent Bitcoin meme and the possibilities of the destruction of Bitcoin's utility.

Join McIntosh and Kenshin as they explore Bitcoin's ultimate endgame—what happens when the last Bitcoin is mined in 2140 and the network transitions to a fee-only economy. This isn't speculation; it's mathematical certainty built into Bitcoin's code.

While most people focus on short-term price action, this episode takes the ultimate long view. The hosts examine what Bitcoin looks like over a century from now when all 21 million coins have been mined and miners transition from block rewards to transaction fees alone. This represents Bitcoin reaching its final form as the hardest money ever created.

Beyond the technical mechanics, they explore what truly scarce money means for humanity—how societies function without monetary inflation and why generational thinking is peak Bitcoin mindset. Perfect for anyone curious about Bitcoin's endgame or trying to understand the long-term game theory that makes Bitcoin so powerful.

Think Bitcoin's "too late" because 95% of the supply is already mined? Think again. While mainstream media spins this as bad news, we explain why this scarcity is exactly what makes Bitcoin so powerful for regular people. The nearly-complete supply isn't Bitcoin's weakness—it's its superpower.

We break down why scarcity benefits plebs over institutions, how the final 5% will take over 100 years to mine, and what this means for your stacking strategy. Plus, we look at the numbers: Bitcoin gained over 61% in the past year alone, proving that "being late" to a scarce asset can still be incredibly profitable. Whether you're worried you missed the boat or want to understand Bitcoin's game theory, this episode will change how you think about supply dynamics.

In this episode, McIntosh and Kenshin tackle one of the biggest mental blocks new Bitcoiners face: unit bias. They explain why thinking you can't afford Bitcoin because you can't buy a whole coin is holding back adoption and share strategies for overcoming this psychological barrier.
