About this episode

Dr. Saifedean Ammous discusses the implications of fiat money and how Bitcoin may provide an alternative.

In this episode, Saifedean explains how fiat money is created through credit, why inflation forces people into debt and speculation, how soft money creates short-term incentives, and why Bitcoin may offer more than financial upside: peace of mind, long-term thinking and a way to opt out of the fiat system.
