Bitcoin is quietly siphoning trillions from the traditional financial system. Josh Friedeman sits down with Wyatt O’Rourke - CEO of Basilic and author of The Bitcoinization of Finance - to explore how Bitcoin’s final settlement model challenges Wall Street’s financialization machine. They unpack the $225 trillion at stake, the hidden risks of paper Bitcoin, and what real Bitcoin adoption looks like beyond ETFs.
