Episode 157 - And Then They Fight You Feb 12, 2024

Show notes

While Mahatma Gandi probably didn't exactly say "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win", it's a great quote even if wrongly attributed to him. And history teaches us that it's often accurate. Where is Bitcoin in all this? Let's discuss.

Episode 155 - Separation of Money and State Jan 29, 2024

Show notes

"I don’t believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can’t take them violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something they can’t stop."

F. Hayek

Bitcoin is the completion of Hayek vision. It's possible with worldwide adoption of Bitcoin that we can have signifcant separation of State and Money. If the State isn't printing fiat money I see three aspects of monetary policy improving over time. Let's discuss!
