In this episode, we sit down with Zac Townsend, co-founder of Meanwhile, the first and only life insurance company denominated in Bitcoin. Zac shares the vision behind Meanwhile, explaining how they are reimagining long-term financial planning in a world increasingly shaped by digital assets. We explore how Bitcoin’s unique properties make it a compelling foundation for a new kind of life insurance product, designed to preserve and grow value over time. Zac also shares his broader thoughts on Bitcoin as pristine collateral, its role in the evolving financial system, and why more institutions are beginning to treat it as a core asset. This episode dives into the future of crypto-native financial products—and why Bitcoin is at the center of it all.
