About this episode

 Most athletes get talked out of Bitcoin by their financial advisors — Kenny Florian went the other way. The four-weight-class UFC veteran explains how he discovered Bitcoin after retiring, why he kept buying as his conviction grew, and how the fighter's mindset prepares you to ignore the noise when markets panic. He breaks down why he sees Bitcoin as a tool for financial freedom and sovereignty, not just a price chart.
