In this episode, we sit down with Tad Smith—partner at One Roundtable Partners, former CEO of Madison Square Garden and Sotheby’s, and one of bitcoin’s most articulate educators—to explore the moral case for orange-pilling, and why it’s not a right but a responsibility. Tad shares hard-won lessons from orange-pilling family members across generations and wealth brackets, and explains why alignment—not argument—is the key. We break down how different cohorts—from boomers to creatives—encounter bitcoin, and why effective orange-pilling starts with listening, not preaching. From bitcoin vs. college and homeownership, to AI’s threat to knowledge workers, Tad lays out how bitcoin becomes not speculation, but protection—not rebellion, but insurance—not utopia, but sovereignty.\nSUPPORT THE PODCAST:\n→ Subscribe\n→ Leave a review\n→ Share the show with your friends and family\n→ Send us an email podcast@unchained.com\n→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=you...\n→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?ut...\nTIMESTAMPS:\n0:00 – Intro\n1:10 – The moral case for orange-pilling\n5:47 – Why persuasion fails and alignment works\n10:08 – Mistakes made orange-pilling family and friends\n15:02 – You need an invitation to orange-pill\n18:48 – Cohort-based messaging: it’s not religion, it’s marketing\n23:27 – Orange-pilling high-net-worth individuals\n28:12 – Retirees, boomers, and fear of complexity\n31:40 – Tech-savvy, libertarian, and progressive angles\n35:20 – Why creatives matter: expression, ownership, and ordinals\n38:47 – College vs bitcoin: a post-AI investment dilemma\n44:02 – Should you buy a house or stack more bitcoin?\n49:55 – Narrative shapes price: the Marian Antoinette necklace lesson\n53:10 – What bitcoin really is: protection, insurance, sovereignty\n57:35 – How to orange-pill with respect and precision\nWHERE TO FOLLOW US:\n→ Unchained X:   /...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/WoeHujZLSYOjeE_EY1iBuQ0tTK0I8K63kAncvwN8qto/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83NTI2/Y2ZjZjFjN2NlZjI3/ZmQyZjc5ODQyMTc5/OTYxMi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
