Description

In episode 011, we unpack why Bitcoin’s institutional moment just got louder — and why Harvard’s move could be the domino that changes everything. From elite endowments quietly stacking sats to the AI–Bitcoin capital allocation thesis, this week’s broadcast connects the dots between markets, macro, and culture.


We cover:

🏛 Harvard University buying Bitcoin — Why the world’s most sophisticated allocators just took a $117M position in BlackRock’s ETF, and what that signals for career risk in finance

🥇 Bitcoin + Gold as “hard money” pair — How elite portfolios are positioning for fiat debasement without touching “crypto”

📈 The AI capital thesis — Jordi Visser’s argument for why AI growth will push capital toward sound money assets like Bitcoin

💰 S&P 500 vs. Bitcoin allocations — How BTC stacks up against traditional big-cap positions like Alphabet, Meta, and Nvidia in elite portfolios

🌍 The Overton window shift — Why holding zero Bitcoin is becoming harder to justify for institutions

⚡ Macro tailwinds — The interplay between monetary policy, tech disruption, and hard asset demand

🔐 Cultural momentum — From finance to social discourse, why Bitcoin’s toxicity risk is fading fast
