If money actually worked (w/ ForrestHODL of Bitcoin Not Crypto)

77 min • 26 februari 2025

I talked to ForrestHODL of Bitcoin Not Crypto about why our money is broken and why Bitcoin is the way out. Why future generations will look back at fiat as a mistake, and the societal damage done by the money printer. How to use bitcoin as an escape hatch from the inevitable collapse of the fiat debt ponzi. Bitcoin is fair, truly scarce, and hard money that solves the problems that caused gold to fail. We also talked about why if you think of Bitcoin as savings, you can think of MSTR as investing, and why real estate will trend towards its utility value when more people continue to understand Bitcoin. You might want to get some Bitcoin, just in case it catches on.
