In episode 009 we discuss the stark differences between Bitcoin and the broader crypto ecosystem, examining how Bitcoin's decentralization contrasts with the centralization theater in altcoin projects. We explore the surge in Bitcoin treasury companies like MicroStrategy and MetaPlanet, analyzing whether these represent genuine adoption or financial abstraction from holding actual Bitcoin.

Key Highlights:

- Bitcoin vs crypto: Real decentralization vs centralization theater

- Bitcoin treasury companies: genuine adoption or Wall Street abstraction?

- Bitcoin adoption still under 1% globally - we're extremely early

- Nation-state Bitcoin strategies: El Salvador, Kazakhstan, Bhutan mining profits

- Bitcoin as messaging protocol and ultimate ledger of truth

- Everything declining in Bitcoin terms - superior unit of account

- Trump administration plans to merge Fed and Treasury

- Rising global bond yields signal monetary system stress

- Security considerations as Bitcoin prices appreciate
