Gentleman Speculator - Wyatt O'Rourke - Financialization of Bitcoin, Bitcoinization of Finance

I start the pod with some insights from the last four-year cycle in Bitcoin investing, comparing its annualized returns and drawdowns with other market proxies like the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and gold. I then welcome Wyatt O’Rourke (https://wyattorourke.com/) , founder of Basilic Financial (https://basilic.io/) and author of ‘The Bitcoinization of Finance,’ to discuss Bitcoin’s integration into traditional finance. Wyatt gets into private credit funds, Bitcoin-backed mortgages, and the importance of sound custody solutions. We then digress to a conversation on ‘noblesse oblige’ in the context of modern elites like Elon Musk and Donald Trump and emphasize the need to uphold moral and ethical standards.
