George Mekhail returned to the Digital Social Hour just ahead of the Bitcoin Conference, and the timing showed. Sitting down with Sean Kelly for episode 1916, the Bitcoin advocate and co-author of Thank God for Bitcoin walked through what is happening beneath the headlines — corporate accumulation, global conflict, and a monetary system under strain.
The conversation starts with a simple tension: markets still treat Bitcoin as a risk asset while institutions quietly buy more of it than ever. From there, Sean and George trace how war, inflation, and collapsing purchasing power are reshaping Bitcoin's role — and why a fixed supply of 21 million coins matters more than any price target.
About George Mekhail
George Mekhail came to Bitcoin through an unusual door: years in church leadership before co-authoring Thank God for Bitcoin, a book that examines the creation and corruption of money through a moral lens. That background shows in how he talks about the subject — less price chatter, more first principles about what money is supposed to do.
Today he works with the team behind the Bitcoin Conference, one of the largest Bitcoin gatherings in the world, which is exactly where he was headed when this episode was recorded. A returning guest on the show, he focuses on adoption over hype: who is buying, why they are buying, and what it means when companies feel forced to hold Bitcoin.

Why This Conversation Matters

George Mekhail offers something more useful: a grounded walk through scarcity, institutional behavior, and global events that lets you weigh the argument for yourself. Whether you hold Bitcoin or simply want to understand why so many serious players now do, this episode connects the dots clearly.
