How Minecraft Taught Him to Choose Bitcoin | Ep. 81 — #81 Jonny

In this episode of Sat Chats, we welcome Jonny—high school grad, future NC State student, jiu-jitsu beginner, and Stewart’s nephew and son of #80 Lydia (aka the “Fiat Overlord”). His mom said Bitcoin was fake Mario money and bought tacos. But can Jonny redeem the family name?

We dive into:

✅ Minecraft metaphors: Survival Mode vs. Creative Mode money

✅ What “phantom tax” is and how it’s silently stealing from savers

✅ Why Bitcoin is the ultimate savings technology

✅ Gold, limestone money, and the epic lesson of island economics

✅ How 250,000 sats could be your fair share of the future
