Ivan Makedonski joins us to explore the idea of “digit addiction”, if Bitcoin’s survival depends on it scaling as a medium of exchange, and how money reflects back our deepest emotional patterns. We discuss the importance of a standard unit of measurement, the value of legacy planning, and the physics of power projection, showing how Bitcoin realigns human cooperation, reshapes capitalism, and forces us to rebuild the user experience from first principles.

Ivan Makedonski is a contributor to Bitcoin Magazine and currently building “Breez”, which helps bring Bitcoin Lightning Payments to every app.
