📄 Summary:
In this genesis episode, Tim Sae Koo and Miguel Abascal explore the profound opportunity we have to prepare the next generation for a Bitcoin standard.
Together, they discuss the "human layer" of inheritance, moving beyond multisig and technical setups to focus on the heart of the matter: stewardship.
They examine the concept of the Readiness Protocol, the healing of "financial parentlessness," and how we can support parents who are determined to break the cycle of scarcity for their families.
