Bill used to listen to Preston when Preston co-hosted the Saturday "show" on The Investor's Podcast Network; We Study Billionaires (see https://www.theinvestorspodcast.com/we-study-billionaires/).  Bill has a habit of being late to ideas, so he was closed minded to Bitcoin while Preston made the case for Bitcoin.  Fortunately for Bill, he does usually realize when he might be wrong/stupid.  So, he invited Preston on The Business Brew to discuss Preston's transition from a "traditional value" investor to a Bitcoin bull. 

 

Regardless of whether you, as a listener, agree with Preston's thesis, we hope you can learn a little about:

 

(a) how Preston thinks, 

(b) what it took for him to make a macro/currency call, and 

(c) the courage it took for him to make a call on something Buffett and Munger dismiss as silly.

 

We are grateful for him saying yes to coming on The Brew.  Props on the BTC call Preston.
