Show notes
Terence Michael hosts an open-floor Bitcoin Today room that starts with the simplest question in personal finance: what actually preserves savings when bonds sit doing nothing for decades and the 401k is supposed to be fine? The room builds a working elevator pitch for Bitcoin, from 17 years of persistence to self-custody, the circle of trust, and why a crisis is what finally makes people question everything. The throughline is practical: stop cherry-picking timeframes, keep your own keys, and judge money by what it preserves, not what it promises.Loren and Terence host Bitcoin Today live on X, weekdays at 8:30 AM PT.X: @lorenhodl, @proofofmoneyChapters:0:00:00 Information overload opens the show0:12:34 Bonds sat doing nothing for decades0:15:00 How do you save?
