146 – From Lion King to Lightning with Dion Wilson

About this episode
Avi opens with a sermon on “embracing the outsider” and argues that the real mission isn’t winning debates, but building a parallel city, with art as core infrastructure and Bitcoiners as the new patrons. Guest Dion Wilson, former professional dancer (including the touring cast of Disney’s The Lion King), shares his path from the demanding Broadway ecosystem into Bitcoin and launches Bitcoin for the Arts, a 501(c)(3) designed to support artists, institutions, and nonprofits with Bitcoin microgrants plus practical education on living and creating on a Bitcoin standard. They talk NYC’s cultural cycles, fiat’s squeeze on artists (rising costs, stagnant artist pay), and a hopeful vision of a Bitcoin-driven Harlem renaissance.
