Jordan Walker: The Fourth Turning is Here and Bitcoin is the Lifeboat

In this episode of Bitcoin Journeys, I’m joined by Jordan Walker, co-founder of Bitcoin Collective — the team behind the UK’s first major Bitcoin conference. Jordan shares his personal transformation from speculative crypto investor to Bitcoin maximalist, why The Fourth Turning changed his perspective on history and money, and how he’s helping UK businesses adopt Bitcoin as a treasury asset.

We dive into:

• The collapse of trust in fiat currencies like the British pound
• The rise of corporate Bitcoin adoption
• The need for better education and self-custody tools
• What it really takes to orange-pill business owners
• Why Bitcoiners are builders — not just investors
