Walker America joins Beau Turner to discuss how one of the hardest seasons of his life reshaped the way he thinks about Bitcoin, wealth, family, and what we're ultimately building.
If you've been around Bitcoin for any length of time, you're probably familiar with Walker and Carla. Their humor and creativity helped propel them into the heart of the Bitcoin community. And if Carla's recent medical emergency proved anything, it's just how deeply that community cares for them.
Heavy topics are discussed, but rest assured, Walker hasn't lost the wit that made him one of Bitcoin's most recognizable voices.
We invite you to laugh with us, cry with us, and, in typical Walker fashion, go on a few rants with us.
Rants include, but are not limited to:
- Time Is the Currency of Our Lives
- You Don't Want Bitcoin. You Want What It Makes Possible.
- Nobody Cares About Bitcoin Right Now (And Why That's Bullish)
- Every Bitcoiner Has Peter Schiff on Their Shoulder
- "I Wish I Would Have Worked More," Said No One Ever on Their Deathbed
- Walker "The Chart Guy" with his Vibes Analysis (Courtesy of James Check and Michael Sullivan's Research)
- Going Back to Stoicism
- Nihilism Is a Trap
- Why the Genie Is Out of the Bottle
