About this episode

Knut Svanholm discusses the connection between central banking and global conflict, exploring how Bitcoin can serve as a defense against state violence.

In this episode of Cypherpunk'd, I sit down with author Knut Svanholm ( Everything Divided by 21 Million ) to discuss the terrifying link between central banking and global conflict. We explore the "Consensus Mechanism of Fiat"—World War—and why inflation isn't just an economic annoyance, but a form of modern-day slavery. If you’ve ever wondered why the world seems to be in a state of constant conflict, the answer might be in your wallet. We break down why consensual interactions are the only path to civilization, and how Bitcoin serves as "monetary armor" to finally make violence unprofitable.
