The Biggest Scam: Banks. Fixed By Bitcoin, with Robert Breedlove

After exiting the hedge fund world, Robert Breedlove’s fascination with the concept of money grew. In a pursuit to better understand its foundation, Breedlove dove headlong down the Bitcoin rabbit hole and came out the other side in full support of an evolved financial system relying on hard money principles and freedom, aka Bitcoin. Now Robert hosts the “What is Money Show,” in addition to prolifically writing about Bitcoin, blockchain, and crypto at some of the deepest philosophical levels. In this episode, Melker and Breedlove discuss a range of topics including: Answering the question: "What is money?" Thinking in dollars The study of central banking Why pay taxes if the government can print A digital age renaissance The central bank scam Bitcoin as a barometer Freedom of economic speech The 5 properties of money Enrichment vs dilution Bitcoin as a call option on the future gold standard Physical vs digital gold ---- MAKERSPLACE MakersPlace is the go-to premium marketplace for purchasing rare digital artworks from the world’s top creators (Ie.
