This episode of The Bitcoin Nova Podcast is hosted by Staci, creator of The Bitcoin Nova, a Bitcoin education and media platform focused on financial sovereignty, clarity, and truth.In this conversation, Staci sits down with Brett Hansen, author of Bitcoin Not Crypto and creator of FUGUM, to explore how Bitcoin protects your time and energy and why mental clarity matters just as much as financial sovereignty.Brett shares the personal journey behind his book, including how it began as a crypto investment thesis and evolved into a clear line between Bitcoin and everything else. He explains why Bitcoin is fundamentally different, why it can’t be replicated, and how understanding that difference changed the way he thinks about money, noise, and focus.The conversation expands beyond money into psychology, energy, and modern life. Brett introduces the idea behind FUGUM, a mindset about knowing when to disengage, protect your vibe, and stop giving your attention to things that don’t matter. Staci and Brett talk about signal versus noise, the role of conviction, and why Bitcoin feels like a kind of shield in an increasingly loud world.They also explore bigger ideas around technology, energy, AI, and the future, not as predictions, but as thoughtful reflections on how Bitcoin fits into a rapidly changing landscape.This episode is for anyone who feels overwhelmed by information, curious about Bitcoin beyond price, or searching for a calmer, more intentional way to think about money and life.Bitcoin vs cryptoThe story behind Bitcoin Not CryptoWhy conviction forms over timeBitcoin as protection for time and energyMental clarity in a noisy worldThe FUGUM philosophySignal vs noiseTechnology, AI, and the futureWhy Bitcoin changes how you thinkAbout the guestBrett Hansen is the author of Bitcoin Not Crypto and the creator of FUGUM, a philosophy and brand centered on mental clarity, signal, and protecting your energy.
