Donovan Gibson on Bitcoin, Education, and Low Time Preference
About this episode
Bitcoin isn’t just for Wall Street—it’s for the classroom, the family, and the future of business. In this episode, Jeff Newman is joined by Donovan Gibson, a fellow Sovreign consultant, father, former college soccer coach, and one of the few people who’s actually taught Bitcoin inside a university.
We dig into:
- How Donovan orange-pilled his students—and his own kids
- Why Austrian economics is largely ignored by higher ed (and what that reveals)
- What Bitcoiners know that most professors and financial advisors don’t
- The low-time-preference mindset and why it matters for students and savers
- How businesses can gain an unfair advantage in the next 5 years
- What parents, professors, and entrepreneurs need to know before it’s too late
This conversation goes beyond Bitcoin as an asset—it’s about Bitcoin as a worldview. Whether you’re raising kids, running a company, or rethinking your own financial path, this episode will challenge what you think you know about money, education, and long-term value.
