    The Deflationary Asset: Why Companies Are Converting Cash to Bitcoin

    When election night broadcasters were still counting votes, cryptocurrency insiders already knew who won. In this exclusive in-studio interview, Robert welcomes Will McCreery to explain how this digital asset has become both a leading economic indicator and a financial revolution that's caught the attention of the White House. The duo breaks down Bitcoin's fundamentals—from its decentralized nature and limited 21-million supply to the critical "halving" cycle. They explore how business leaders like Michael Saylor transformed their companies by converting cash reserves to Bitcoin, discuss President Trump's recent crypto summit at the White House, and reveal which ISO 20022-compliant cryptocurrencies could revolutionize banking by slashing transaction times from days to mere seconds.   The Classical Learning Cohort offers online classes for parents to become more confident and competent Classical teachers.
