21 million is what makes Bitcoin work — but where did the number come from? Satoshi was too methodical with everything else for us to assume it was arbitrary. In this episode of Love & Hard Money, Brian walks through why mathematical scarcity is different from every other kind of scarcity we've ever had, why our current payment system is essentially a leaky balloon with an evil clown airbrushed on it, and why the volatility you see in Bitcoin is caused by the exact same people who don't understand it yet.

Then he makes his case for why Satoshi chose 21 million — a hilarious theory that is either completely ridiculous or one the most important footnotes in monetary history. It just might be improbable enough to be true. You'll have to decide for yourself.

In this bonus, midweek episode, I read aloud my children's book, The Winds Of Uncertainty. If you would like to follow along with pictures, they are available in the free e-book download on my website www.satoshigeneral.com.

About the book:

After losing everything to The Winds of Uncertainty, Eldin
sets out on a hero’s journey where he discovers the value of
hard work, hard money and truth over lies. This beautifully
illustrated story is meant to be handed down generation-to-
generation and read aloud to instill values many families hold
dear. It teaches that prosperity results from free and fair
trade, hard work and initiative and that sometimes you have
to embark on an adventure to find the spark within.

What if the most important lesson we never teach our kids is what money actually is?

In this episode, Brian shares the story behind The Winds of Uncertainty — his children's book about scarcity, abundance, and the hidden forces that shape our economic lives. He talks about why he hired a Nostr artist and paid in Bitcoin, why he's only sold 10 copies and doesn't care, and why he believes it takes a generation to heal a broken relationship with money.

From the gold florin that funded the Renaissance to the moment Nixon closed the gold window in 1971 — and everything that came apart after — Brian traces how the money we choose shapes the culture we live in. Fiat money doesn't just inflate prices. It inflates dependence, erodes incentives, and quietly rearranges who wins and who loses.

Hard money is the inverse. And that's a lesson worth planting early.

The e-book is free. Signed hardcovers are available for Bitcoin at satoshigeneral.com.
