1169 UFOs, DMT & Bitcoin: Is Reality a Cosmic Blockchain? Aliens. Psychedelics. Bitcoin. What if I told you they’re all connected—not just in some abstract, metaphysical way, but in a mind-blowing, paradigm-shattering way that could rewrite everything we think we know about reality? Paul Hynek, son of legendary UFO researcher J. Allen Hynek, joins Richard to reveal the hidden nexus between extraterrestrial intelligence, DMT, and Bitcoin. Could UFOs be AI-driven entities operating on an advanced blockchain economy? Is Bitcoin a primitive version of an interstellar currency? And could DMT function as a communication protocol linking us to higher-dimensional beings? On this episode, we go beyond government disclosure, beyond speculation—diving deep into the digital, the psychedelic, and the intergalactic. If you think you understand reality, prepare to have your mind rewired.
