In this episode of Why Bitcoin Wins, host Shravan Jhangiani sits down with Scott Dedels, co-founder of Block Rewards, to explore how Bitcoin is transforming the workplace.

Scott spent fifteen years in traditional finance before discovering Bitcoin in 2020. What started as simple inflation concerns led him into Austrian economics, compelling him to read Jeff Booth’s The Price of Tomorrow twice, and ultimately shaping his conviction in Bitcoin as sound money.

This episode breaks down what’s broken in today’s financial compensation systems, why the issue may be the money itself, and how Bitcoin Savings Plans can better align incentives over time.

Topics Covered

• Discovering Bitcoin in 2020

• Lessons from the Terra Luna collapse

• Real estate vs. Bitcoin as a store of value

• Bitcoin as a workplace benefit

• Fixing compensation through sound money

• Why every company may become a Bitcoin company

In this conversation, Shravan Jhangiani, host of the Why Bitcoin Wins podcast, sits down with Canadian Bitcoiner Joel Hodlman to explore the faith side of Bitcoin.

Joel shares how he first encountered Bitcoin, dismissed it, and spent years on the sidelines. When the pandemic exposed the reality of money printing, he began studying Bitcoin seriously, bought in early, and built conviction through volatility. Later, during a defining moment in the NICU with his newborn, he chose to go all in on Bitcoin as a long term commitment to protecting his family’s future.

If you’re interested in how conviction forms through lived experience, why inflation is only part of the story, how faith and morality shape views on money, and why self-custody matters, this conversation is for you.

We discuss:

• Hearing about Bitcoin in 2013 and ignoring it

• The pandemic as the moment inflation became real

• Going all in during the 2022 bear market

• How The Bitcoin Standard changed Joel’s view of money

• Relationship between Bitcoin and Faith

• Why self custody is the real reason Bitcoin wins

• Teaching Bitcoin with patience and humility

• What Joel is building toward in 2026?

In this conversation, Shravan Jhangiani, Host of the Why Bitcoin Wins podcast, sits down with Vince, Host of The Bitcoin Broadcast, to unpack what it actually takes to build conviction as a regular person and then turn that conviction through Bitcoin media.

Vince shares how he first heard about Bitcoin in 2017, started buying small amounts before fully understanding it, then went deep in 2018 and 2019 by listening to Bitcoin podcasts for hours a day while working a physical job. He explains how March 2020 became the moment everything clicked, when the chaos of the world and the reality of money printing pushed him to go Bitcoin only, commit to dollar cost averaging, and stop gambling on shitcoins.

If you’re interested in the creator side of Bitcoin, how conviction gets built through repetition and education, why being a regular guy matters for orange pilling, how to grow a Bitcoin podcast from scratch, and why meetups beat online noise, this conversation is for you.

We cover the key questions people are asking about Bitcoin today

• March 2020 as a turning point for many Bitcoiners

• DCA as the simplest way to stay consistent

• How Vince was orange pilled and why podcasts teach Bitcoin better?

• Why IRL meetups matter more than online spaces?

• Patterns that repeat across dozens of Bitcoin conversations

• What Vince is building toward in 2026?
