🎯 Episode Thesis

In this episode of BitCorner Podcast, we sit down with Kristýna Mazánková, Head of PR at BTC Inc. and Director of Europe’s first university Master’s Degree fully dedicated to Bitcoin, to unpack why Europe—and especially Spain—is hostile to Bitcoin, how CBDCs are being framed as “convenience”, and why Bitcoin represents a real threat to centralized power.

This is a deep conversation about money, narrative, education, and control—and why Bitcoin must be understood as a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, not a speculative asset or political slogan.

🎙️ About the Episode

We explore:

How narratives around Bitcoin change while the protocol stays the same

Why Europe struggles with sovereignty and sound money

Academia vs propaganda

Bitcoin education done right

CBDCs as control wrapped in shiny paper

El Salvador as a real-world counterexample

This episode is essential listening for anyone trying to understand Bitcoin’s role in the next phase of global power.
