  • Ep 342 lost you a star

    The ego and lack of any kind of humble spec makes this impossible.

    Episode 342 was very telling. The one guest (JW

    Weatherman) was just a rude jerk for 90 minutes during debate. Expected better from this podcast. Impossible to listen to this ego maniac!

  • I reached out to Wizard James Recovery after experiencing difficulties accessing my cryptocurrency. What stood out to me was the attention given to my situation and the effort to explain the recovery process in a way I could understand. Communication was consistent, and I was able to ask questions and receive clear responses throughout the process.

    The experience taught me the importance of being patient, keeping proper records, and understanding the recovery process before making any decisions.... more

  • My Recovery Journey With Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery

    Getting scammed online didn’t just affect me financially — it also made it hard for me to trust people again. After what happened, I was scared of being deceived a second time and became very cautious about anyone offering help. Eventually, I decided to contact Pro Wizard Gilbert Recovery, and their professionalism immediately stood out. They were honest, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly without making false promises... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

346. The Bitcoin Standard 2018 Launch
Q: Why is Bitcoin considered a hard money vs. other monetary forms?
Because its supply is algorithmically fixed and economically scarce, preventing arbitrary expansion and thus preserving value over time, which makes it attractive as a store of wealth and medium of exchange compared to fiat currencies that can be inflated.
340. Fiat, gold & bitcoin: Interview with Mark Moss.
Q: What is baked into inflation and why do governments want to keep printing money?
Inflation is tied to a debt-based monetary system where money is created through debt issuance and repaid with devalued currency, making it politically convenient for leaders to promise growth and spend now while passing the long-term costs to future generations.
335. Bitcoin & the Surveillance State with Cory Klippsten
Q: How should a typical listener think about getting into real on-chain Bitcoin given ETFs exist?
Treat Bitcoin price exposure through ETFs as an entry point to understand price action, but then study and move into real on-chain Bitcoin custody, using tools like Swan's custody options and RBX, to gain true ownership and sovereignty.
324. Apolar Money: Lecture at the Global Economy & Finance Conference in Seoul
Q: What is the catalyst for Bitcoin adoption: bottom-up vs top-down?
Both paths are possible; initially a bottom-up organic growth was expected, but over time institutional and state adoption has increased, suggesting a combination where geopolitics and macro shifts can accelerate adoption.
324. Apolar Money: Lecture at the Global Economy & Finance Conference in Seoul
Q: Bitcoin is volatile. Is it feasible to use it as a currency?
Volatility exists because the market is still small, but it has been trending downward as adoption grows; in the long term, the economy would benefit from larger liquidity and a bigger market, reducing volatility, though short-term exposure should be managed.
