<description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode, we dive deep into the world of Bitcoin and its potential to revolutionize our financial systems and conservation efforts. Our guest, Bryan Solstin, an author and aerospace engineer, shares his journey from working in aerospace to becoming a passionate advocate for Bitcoin. He discusses his books "Zenimal" and "Bitcoin and Nash Equilibrium" and how his interest in cryptography and minimalism led him to Bitcoin in 2017.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bryan explains the challenges of conservation in a fiat system and why Bitcoin offers a more sustainable solution. He draws parallels between Bitcoin and Zen principles, emphasizing the importance of quality and efficiency over artificial growth. We explore the concept of the Nash equilibrium and its relevance to Bitcoin, highlighting how a stable measurement of value can lead to better economic outcomes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The conversation also touches on the potential pitfalls of tokenizing nature and the importance of maintaining a decentralized system. Brian shares his concerns about the centralization of power and wealth in a fiat system and the role of Bitcoin in creating a more equitable financial landscape.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We discuss the implications of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and the importance of privacy in financial transactions. Bryan emphasizes the need for a return to a commodity-based monetary system to escape hyperconsumption and build generational wealth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Throughout the episode, we explore the philosophical and practical aspects of Bitcoin as a tool for peace, conservation, and fairness. Bryan's insights provide a compelling case for why Bitcoin is the apex environmental solution and how it can lead to a more sustainable and equitable future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://x.com/BryanBSolstin" target="_blank"&gt;https://x.com/BryanBSolstin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.solstin.com/about" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.solstin.com/about&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
