What if crypto’s brutal UX wasn’t a flaw but a feature… for machines? In this episode, Bitcoin OG Erik Voorhees joins us to reveal why crypto wasn’t built for people; it was built for AI. From launching ShapeShift to building Venice AI, Voorhees has seen every major cycle. But today, he lays out a thesis few are talking about: that AI will adopt crypto faster than humans ever could, and privacy isn’t just a human right, it’s a machine necessity.
