We are all addicted to digits. Fiat digits, loyalty points, social media likes, stock prices—everywhere we turn, someone is trying to hook us. But what if the biggest addiction of all is the illusion of control over numbers that don’t belong to us? In this episode, I dive into a thought-provoking article that exposes how fiat, real estate, gold, stocks, and even Bitcoin itself have become part of a global digit addiction. Who are the digit lords keeping us hooked? How do they manipulate our perception of value? And most importantly—can Bitcoin be both the ultimate fix and the only way out? Join me as we unravel the battle between dependence and true sovereignty.
