In this episode of Bitcoin Banter, Michael, Tony, and guest Sophi spent some time about why they are so bullish on Bitcoin… even in a “bear market.”

The reality is that builders keep building and big players (and plebs!) keep stacking. There is so much to be excited about. The future is bright orange!

Why does it feel like even high earners can’t get ahead?

In this clip, Tony, Michael, and Greer break down how rising costs have far outpaced income growth - leaving many people earning more than ever yet falling further behind.

They explain how inflation and fiat money quietly erode purchasing power over time, making traditional paths like saving, investing, or learning new skills feel less reliable than they once were.

The conversation also explores the growing uncertainty around work itself. As AI accelerates job displacement and reshapes entire industries, the question becomes harder to ignore:

Is the system still designed to work for the average person?

Or are people being pushed to run faster just to stand still?

Against that backdrop, they point to Bitcoin as a potential alternative — a form of money designed to preserve value rather than dilute it, and a possible path to step outside a system they believe is fundamentally broken.
