In this thinkfuture episode, host Chris dives into a lively chat with Carter, co-founder of Spree, a platform making it easier to spend crypto in everyday life. Carter shares his journey from physics PhD to crypto enthusiast, sparked by Dogecoin, and his passion for decentralized finance. They break down the similarities between crypto and fiat—both digital, both built on belief—and debate Bitcoin’s role as a store of value or spending tool. Carter explains Spree’s mission to bridge crypto to real-world purchases, like booking travel or shopping, beyond just trading. Looking ahead, they predict stablecoins will dominate as a smarter financial system, possibly tackling issues like US debt or replacing savings accounts. Carter’s skeptical about central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), betting on private-sector innovation instead, and dreams of a “Bitcoin supercycle” fueled by stablecoin growth. He wraps up with a shoutout to connect via Twitter (@Crazink) or Spree’s site for anyone into decentralized commerce.---Connect with Carter:   / carterrazink  Spree Finance: https://www.spree.financebrought to you by polyscopemedia: https://polyscopemedia.com
