In this podcast episode of The Block Reward, Scott chats with Gen Z economics student, Zac Guignard, to discuss Zac's perspective on Bitcoin. They delve into how Bitcoin is perceived by young people, its potential to solve societal problems and its political implications. Zac shares his journey into Bitcoin and they discuss the importance of education in understanding Bitcoin, the skepticism from faculty members and the potential of Bitcoin to bring about a sustainable energy revolution.
Zac helps steer education for Theya Bitcoin, a Y Combinator backed startup providing the world's simplest #bitcoin multisig and self-custody service.
