Hansen, author of The Belief Machine and Bitcoin Not Crypto, joins Michael Jordan to explore why intelligent, successful people often reject Bitcoin. They dissect the psychology of belief, identity preservation, and how Bitcoin acts as a mirror for our worldview. Hansen shares his Bitcoin origin story, why property rights became his core conviction, and why most people orange-pill themselves. They also discuss tribalism, the tension between freedom and safety, the challenge of living on a Bitcoin standard, and why pricing everything in fiat undermines Bitcoin as peer-to-peer cash.⏳ TIMESTAMPS:
