About this episode
The episode discusses the issues with fiat currency and presents Bitcoin as a solution to economic corruption and inflation.
In this episode, I sit down with Ben, founder of The Sovereign Strategy, to break down why fiat is a "cesspit" of corruption, why most people don't actually have money (only melting IOUs), and why Bitcoin is the only escape hatch from a system designed to steal your time and energy. We talk about why prices should be going DOWN from technology but are forced UP by inflation, the difference between Bitcoin (money) and crypto (tech speculation), and why sovereignty means taking responsibility, not just asking for permission.
