On Episode 35 of Magic Internet Money, host Brad Mills invites Brandon Quittem on the show to talk about mycelium networks, a generational theory called The Fourth Turning, and the global financial system. Brandon introduces himself and his background in yoga and travelling India for four years. He transitions into the discussion about how Bitcoin resembles mycelium networks and functions not unlike a living organism. Brad remarks that after learning about the cordyceps mushroom, Bitcoin “takes over your brain” like the zombifying fungus. Brandon explains what The Fourth Turning is to Brad, and the patterns that occur between generations reveal themselves. Brandon believes we are in the midst of a Fourth Turning at this time, and discusses a forecast of events to come. Things such as the possibility of a civil war in America, but not in the traditional sense and a “Bitcoin renaissance”.
