The banking industry is waking up to the threat of Bitcoin—and they are fighting back. In this episode, Brandon Karpeles sits down with Marty Bent, founder of TFTC, host of Rabbit Hole Recap, and partner at Ten31, to discuss the state of the media, the "crypto" distraction, and the silent war banks are waging against Bitcoin companies.
Marty shares his journey from a disillusioned finance analyst to building a Bitcoin media empire. He breaks down:
How he went from unemployed in NYC to launching TFTC and working at Barstool Sports
The early days of Lightning Network paywalls and why they failed in 2019
Why the "Crypto" industry is effectively a DDoS attack on Bitcoin’s progress
The "Eternal September" of explaining why Bitcoin cannot scale on the base layer
The JP Morgan vs. MicroStrategy theory: Did the bank change margin requirements to hurt Michael Saylor?
Why banks are terrified of MicroStrategy and Tether offering yield on assets
Why Bitcoin offers the only "Middle Path" between socialism and fascism
The moral duty Bitcoiners have to mentor others and delineate from scammers
Why merchant adoption is an unstoppable "tidal wave" despite the friction
The ultimate Chicago debate: Portillo’s vs. Mr. Beef
This episode is a masterclass on navigating the noise of the "crypto" casino, understanding the adversarial thinking of legacy banks, and why fixing the money is the only way to fix the world.
