I am constantly telling this audience that almost ALL of our problems as a country could be solved by an HONEST MONEY SYSTEM. This is hard for most people to believe because money is just ever-present and they don't fully understand how it works. They also just assume because we're America, we must be doing what we're doing because it is what a free society does. The newest book in the Trilogy of books by Saifedean Ammous examines what the 20th Century might have looked like under a Gold Standard. It is a fascinating thought experiment and under the direction of Ammous, it tends to highlight just how much of our wealth has been stolen by governments and their FIAT MONEY.Saifedean Ammous Speech at Bitcoin 2025 - The Gold Standardhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3eDDQaqLnY&t=78s
"This system that's outside of the free market economy can only exist due to its proximity to the money printer. And once we get rid of the money printer, once we get rid of government actually funding these corporations like the American Medical Association that's pumping up pharmaceutical medicine, then all other healing modalities are going to be able to flourish again, and hopefully that's how Bitcoin fixes it."On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Dr. Ahmad Ammous. Dr. Ammous is a doctor challenging the fiat medical establishment and his goal is to get people healthy without pills from big pharma, he's also a bitcoiner, which makes sense since his brother is Saifedean Ammous. Dr Ammous gives a TON of actionable advice in this episode for taking control of your health, talks about how broken modern medicine is, how we got here, and how bitcoin fixes this. The discussion emphasizes the need for a shift away from traditional medical paradigms towards a more decentralized and patient-focused approach. It explores shifts in modern medicine, the dangers of pharmaceuticals, and the influence of pharmaceutical companies. Key health topics include the importance of sun exposure, the risks of seed oils, dietary choices, cold exposure, and blue light. The conversation challenges mainstream medical narratives, questioning default treatments and statin use while examining alternative therapies like ivermectin, methylene blue, niacin, and nicotine. Additional insights cover mouth taping, practical health tips, and Bitcoin's potential role in transforming healthcare, ultimately emphasizing taking control of personal health.FOLLOW DR AMMOUS:X: https://x.com/AmmousMDWEB: https://ammousmd.com*****THE Bitcoin Podcast Partners:> Download Primal for Nostr: https://primal.net/downloads> http://bitbox.swiss/walker -- use promo code WALKER for 5% off the Bitcoin-only Bitbox02 hardware wallet.> BUY BITCOIN WITH RIVER: http://partner.river.com/walker*****If you enjoy THE Bitcoin Podcast you can help support the show by doing the following:FOLLOW ME (Walker) on Twitter Personal (@WalkerAmerica) | Twitter Podcast (@TitcoinPodcast) | Nostr Personal (walker) | Nostr Podcast (Titcoin)Subscribe to THE Bitcoin Podcast (and leave a review) on Fountain | YouTube | Spotify | EVERYWHERE ELSE

Lecture commentée du second volet du chapitre de l'Etalon-Fiat de Saifedean Ammous : on se concentre ici sur le délabrement de la science et de la recherche à l'époque "fiat". Après une courte lecture sur les dérives de la science une conversation fleuve passionnante s'engage avec François Mulet. Autodidacte informaticien, entrepreneur à succès, François est à la tête de Ver de Terre Production, 5ème organisme de formation agricole français... et bitcoiner depuis la première heure ! C'est quelque peu ému qu'il dévoile aujourd'hui pour la première fois en public sa passion pour Bitcoin ! Un vrai coming out !Depuis toujours c'est la joie d'apprendre qui anime François. Aujourd'hui, dans son travail de chercheur, formateur, et entrepreneur, ce qui le motive c'est l'envie de transmettre de la connaissance utile, de la vraie science au service de pratiques agricoles modernes valorisant le plein potentiel du vivant. Cela implique une compréhension scientifique de l'écologie et donc nécessairement une revalorisation substantielle des savoirs concernant le rôle fondamental des vers de terre. Episode tout à fait édifiant ! * Système monétaire fiat? Société fiat ?*Dans l'Etalon-Fiat, ouvrage très populaire parmi les bitcoiners, Saifedean Ammous jette un regard critique sur l'évolution de la société à l'ère du fiat, des monnaies fiduciaires ! On parle là d'une courte période à l'échelle de l'histoire humaine, moment furtif où les institutions en charge de la gestion de la monnaie succombent à la tentation de l'impression monétaire, invoquant milles bonnes raisons pour justifier leur utilisation effrénée de la planche à billet.Cet outil donne à l'Etat la capacité de conduire des guerres, plus longues et plus dévastatrices que jamais, le pouvoir financer son expansion, ses besoins et son train de vie toujours croissant. L'Etat renforce ainsi son emprise sur l'économie et la société tout entière aux dépens des membres productifs de la société qui se voient confisquer par une inflation programmée tout le bénéfice de leurs gains de productivité.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIENS : L'Etalon-Fiat en vente chez Konsensus NetworkLe site de Saifedean AmmousMaraichage Sol Vivant Ver de Terre Production Suivez BTC TouchPoint sur le web, Twitter, et YouTube

Dr. Ahmad Ammous joins us to talk about fiat medicine and how Bitcoin can fix it! Key Takeaways:
The meteoric rise of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies over the past years just goes to show that even something as ubiquitous as money is ripe for disruption. And even though crypto is a space that many of us are just beginning to understand, its principles call into question the validity of the existing fiat monetary system. In his latest book, The Fiat Standard: The Debt Slavery Alternative to Human Civilization, Dr. Saifedean Ammous sets out to do just that. Using the first principles thinking that he used to write his bestselling book, The Bitcoin Standard, Dr. Ammous analyzes the history of fiat currency, the shift away from the gold standard, and the economic, social and political fallout that came as a result.

During the COVID pandemic and the government's response, the US Federal Reserve created 40% of all the money that has ever been created over the country's nearly 250 years of existence. This will likely go down as the most disastrous financial act ever created by a government anywhere in the history of the world. Join me today as we examine a crucial part of Saifedean Ammous' book where he dives into the destructive nature of fiat inflation and its effects. In The Fiat Standard, world-renowned economist Saifedean Ammous applies his unique analytical lens to the fiat monetary system, explaining it as a feat of engineering and technology just as he did for bitcoin in his global bestseller The Bitcoin Standard. This time, Ammous delves into the world's earlier shift from the gold standard to today's system of government-backed fiat money—outlining the fiat standard's purposes and failures; deriving the wider economic, political, and social implications of its use; and examining how bitcoin will affect it over time. The Fiat Standard: The Debt Slavery Alternative to Human Civilization: Ammous, Saifedean: 9781544526478: Amazon.com: Books What Has Government Done to Our Money by Murray N. Rothbard Rothbard shows precisely how banks create money out of thin air and how the central bank, backed by government power, allows them to get away with it. He shows how exchange rates and interest rates would work in a true free market. When it comes to describing the end of the gold standard, he is not content to describe the big trends. He names names and ferrets out all the interest groups involved. What Has Government Done to Our Money?

The meteoric rise of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies over the past years just goes to show that even something as ubiquitous as money is ripe for disruption. And even though crypto is a space that many of us are just beginning to understand, its principles call into question the validity of the existing fiat monetary system. In his latest book, The Fiat Standard: The Debt Slavery Alternative to Human Civilization, Dr. Saifedean Ammous sets out to do just that. Using the first principles thinking that he used to write his bestselling book, The Bitcoin Standard, Dr. Ammous analyzes the history of fiat currency, the shift away from the gold standard, and the economic, social and political fallout that came as a result.

The more we save, the more capital we have available for investment. The more we invest, the more the productivity goes up, the more our standard of living increases. That's really the process of civilization.” [22:13] “If you're trying to collect zeros next to your house valuation, move to Zimbabwe, Lebanon, Venezuela - go where the hyperinflation is, and you'll have the most valuable house. Obviously, people don't care about how many zeros you attach to their prices of goods. People care about the purchasing power of money.” [36:27] “A lot of parents teach their kids to save, but it's pretty bad advice if you save in the Fiat standard. If you hold on to money you're witnessing it basically lose its value by 5, 10, 15% per year.” [39:22] “Why did Soviet cars suck? Because they were producing the same way that modern research in modern American universities is produced - it's from the top down.” [59:15] “The only reason that [the U.S. government] can get into bonds is because everybody's counting on their ability to inflate their money supply and devalue their people. So the bond market is just… it's evil through and through.” [1:25:58] Follow Dr. Saifedean Ammous:Website: https://saifedean.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/saifedeanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/saifedean/Order The Fiat Standard: https://amzn.to/3DRdLbf
The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking By Saifedean Ammous The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications. While Bitcoin is a new invention of the digital age, the problem it purports to solve is as old as human society itself: transferring value across time and space. Ammous takes the reader on an engaging journey through the history of technologies performing the functions of money, from primitive systems of trading limestones and seashells, to metals, coins, the gold standard, and modern government debt. Key Takeaways The sound money means government cannot easily make more while unsound money means that they can make more. Bitcoin was the first engineering solution that allowed for digital payments without having to rely on a trusted third-party intermediary. By being the first digital object that is verifiably scarce, Bitcoin is the first example of digital cash. Gold became the basis for sound money.

Saifedean appearance on The Human Action podcast, hosted by Jeff Deist, President of Mises Institute. Quoted from the original description:Saifedean Ammous, famous for The Bitcoin Standard, has a remarkable new book detailing the effects of fiat money on virtually every aspect of society. In the tradition of Guido Hülsmann's The Ethics of Money Production, Ammous returns with The Fiat Standard. From a framework of Austrian economics, this book explains the sordid history of central banks severing currencies from gold redemption—both to finance war and enjoy the political benefits of default. But it also considers the far-ranging effects of inflation on civilization: as time preference increases, everything gets worse. Education, food, architecture, family, and science all suffer, as inflation makes us live today at the expense of tomorrow.On the 50th anniversary of Nixon's gold shock, The Fiat Standard is an amazing explication of how the West fell to its current state. You don't want to miss this show, especially Saifedean's epic takedown of fiat academia at the end!

"Bitcoin is poorly suited to the purpose of becoming any nation's main medium of exchange."That was the topic of a public debate hosted by the Soho Forum in New York City on August 12, 2019. It featured George Selgin, director of the Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives at the Cato Institute, and economist Saifedean Ammous, author of The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking (2018). Soho Forum Director Gene Epstein moderated.Welcome to the audio podcasting home of Saifedean Ammous and The Bitcoin Standard.When a pseudonymous programmer introduced “a new electronic cash system that's fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party” to a small Online mailing list in 2008, very few paid attention. Ten years later, and against all odds, this upstart autonomous decentralized software offers an unstoppable and globally-accessible hard money alternative to modern central banks. The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications. Ammous' firm grasp of the technological possibilities as well as the historical realities of monetary evolution provides for a fascinating exploration of the ramifications of voluntary free market money. As it challenges the most sacred of government monopolies, bitcoin shifts the pendulum of sovereignty away from governments in favor of individuals, offering us the tantalizing possibility of a world where money is fully extricated from politics and unrestrained by borders.
Dr. Saifedean Ammous speaks at the Libertarians Scholars Conference September 29, 2019. When a pseudonymous programmer introduced “a new electronic cash system that’s fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party” to a small online mailing list in 2008, very few paid attention. Ten years later, and against all odds, this upstart autonomous decentralized software offers an unstoppable and globally-accessible hard money alternative to modern central banks. The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications.While Bitcoin is a new invention of the digital age, the problem it purports to solve is as old as human society itself: transferring value across time and space. Ammous takes the reader on an engaging journey through the history of technologies performing the functions of money, from primitive systems of trading limestones and seashells, to metals, coins, the gold standard, and modern government debt. Exploring what gave these technologies their monetary role, and how most lost it, provides the reader with a good idea of what makes for sound money, and sets the stage for an economic discussion of its consequences for individual and societal future-orientation, capital accumulation, trade, peace, culture, and art. Compellingly, Ammous shows that it is no coincidence that the loftiest achievements of humanity have come in societies enjoying the benefits of sound monetary regimes, nor is it coincidental that monetary collapse has usually accompanied civilizational collapse.
As Dr. Ammous explains in his presentation why this has far reaching implications for the world we live in, given that money is a competitive market at all times, meaning that all monies are in constant competition with each other. If history is any guide, the harder money always comes out on top at the end.

El 2 de octubre de 2018 tuvo lugar en la Fundación del Pino la conferencia de Saifedean Ammous, experto en criptomonedas y autor del libro “El patrón bitcoin”, en la que explicó las características y las posibilidades de este tipo de monedas. Ammous considera que bitcoin es una forma de dinero completamente única. Según explicó, el problema que existe con la mayoría de los tipos de dinero es que, cuanto más se utiliza, más sube su valor. Este hecho genera incentivos para que se emita más, con lo que su valor se devalúa y no puede ejercer la función de depósito de valor. Para evitar este tipo de situaciones se ha tratado de utilizar dinero difícil de producir, como el ganado o los metales. Pues bien, bitcoin es el dinero más difícil de producir. De hecho, la cantidad de bitcoin se ha limitado a 25 millones de unidades y no es posible ir más allá y generar más. Esto es lo que hace que bitcoin sea algo único como depósito de valor, porque no hay forma de aumentar su oferta. Al mismo tiempo, cuanta más gente trate de producir bitcoins, más difícil y más caro resulta hacerlo. Con ello, y gracias también a que se basa en la tecnología blockchain, la red de bitcoin se hace más segura porque hay más procesos en marcha. Cuando aumenta la demanda de bitcoins, aumenta su valor, pero no se incrementa tanto su producción porque cada vez es más difícil obtener uno, lo que lo hace más seguro. Su seguridad también se deriva de que es muy difícil de atacar porque no hay un solo punto de fallo. Tanta es su seguridad que, hasta ahora, nadie ha podido confirmar una transacción fraudulenta con bitcoin porque es una moneda dura, difícil de producir, disponible a escala global, de utilización voluntaria y negociada y valorada libremente en el mercado. Cuando se considera el papel de bitcoin como depósito de valor, lo primero que hay que tener en cuenta es que, en estos momentos, se trata de un activo que no es estrictamente líquido ya que la capacidad de transacción del Bitcoin (que es de 500.000 operaciones diarias) ha llegado a su límite y que hace falta la aplicación de una tecnología denominada SegWit (Segregated Witness) capaz de cuadriplicar la capacidad de transacción del Bitcoin. El límite de operaciones actual es el motivo por el cual el coste de las transacciones ha ido subiendo de forma significativa durante los últimos años. Bitcoin, sin embargo, protege de la inflación porque no se pueden crear más de 25 millones de unidades. Gracias a ello, bitcoin, como depósito de valor, permite transferirlo al futuro. Bitcoin es un mercado alternativo, libre y descentralizado, frente a la centralización que representan los bancos centrales o el oro, porque la mayoría de las transacciones no tienen lugar en el blockchain de bitcoin, sino que se realizan fuera de él en los procesadores de pagos y de cambios y en las páginas webs que utilizan esta criptomoneda. Uno de los principales beneficios que aporta bitcoin se deriva del hecho de que el dinero pierde valor con el tiempo, lo que estimula el cortoplacismo y el consumismo. El dinero duro, como bitcoin, en cambio hace lo contrario: estimula el ahorro y la acumulación de capital, de donde deriva una mayor productividad y mayores niveles de vida y de bienestar. Dicho de otra forma, con el dinero tal y como lo conocemos, la gente prefiere el consumo de hoy al consumo futuro porque ese dinero pierde valor. Con bitcoin, la gente seguiría gastando hoy, pero lo haría de forma menos frívola, y estimularía el ahorro. Para tratar de ilustrar esta característica de bitcoin, Ammous puso un ejemplo relacionado con la historia de la pintura. Según él, una criptomoneda sería como la Capilla Sixtina: puesto que Miguel Ángel tardó cuatro años en pintarla, una obra así es muy escasas y difícil de reproducir. En cambio, el dinero blando, el que usamos actualmente, sería como un cuadro de Mark Rothko, que tarda veinte minutos en pintarse. Lo primero hace que obras como la Capilla Sixtina sean muy escasas; lo segundo, que abunden los cuadros de Rothko y de sus imitadores. Como las criptomonedas no son físicas, sino informáticas, el monopolio territorial de los bancos centrales cuenta poco. Además, y precisamente porque el bitcoin es dinero informático, el gobierno no puede confiscarlo. Por eso los venezolanos compran bitcoin; así pueden sacarlo del país sin que el gobierno de Maduro pueda hacer nada al respecto. Y es que las criptomonedas, en última instancia, implican el retorno al gobierno limitado. Su utilización incrementa el poder de las familias y de las comunidades locales, al tiempo que el papel de los estados se debilita. También puede ser la solución al ciclo económico porque no se puede crear más bitcoin. Y como no se puede crear, no se puede manipular. Esa manipulación del dinero es la causa de los ciclos económicos, la inflación y las recesiones, según la interpretación del ciclo que realizan la escuela austriaca de economía. De la misma forma, desaparecería el privilegio exorbitante del dólar, porque Estados Unidos no podría monetizar sus problemas fiscales, que luego son de todo el mundo.

Bitcoin es un mercado alternativo, libre y descentralizado, frente a la centralización que representan los bancos centrales o el oro, porque la mayoría de las transacciones no tienen lugar en el blockchain de bitcoin, sino que se realizan fuera de él en los procesadores de pagos y de cambios y en las páginas webs que utilizan esta criptomoneda. Uno de los principales beneficios que aporta bitcoin se deriva del hecho de que el dinero pierde valor con el tiempo, lo que estimula el cortoplacismo y el consumismo. El dinero duro, como bitcoin, en cambio hace lo contrario: estimula el ahorro y la acumulación de capital, de donde deriva una mayor productividad y mayores niveles de vida y de bienestar. Dicho de otra forma, con el dinero tal y como lo conocemos, la gente prefiere el consumo de hoy al consumo futuro porque ese dinero pierde valor. Con bitcoin, la gente seguiría gastando hoy, pero lo haría de forma menos frívola, y estimularía el ahorro. Para tratar de ilustrar esta característica de bitcoin, Ammous puso un ejemplo relacionado con la historia de la pintura. Según él, una criptomoneda sería como la Capilla Sixtina: puesto que Miguel Ángel tardó cuatro años en pintarla, una obra así es muy escasas y difícil de reproducir. En cambio, el dinero blando, el que usamos actualmente, sería como un cuadro de Mark Rothko, que tarda veinte minutos en pintarse. Lo primero hace que obras como la Capilla Sixtina sean muy escasas; lo segundo, que abunden los cuadros de Rothko y de sus imitadores. Como las criptomonedas no son físicas, sino informáticas, el monopolio territorial de los bancos centrales cuenta poco. Además, y precisamente porque el bitcoin es dinero informático, el gobierno no puede confiscarlo. Por eso los venezolanos compran bitcoin; así pueden sacarlo del país sin que el gobierno de Maduro pueda hacer nada al respecto. Y es que las criptomonedas, en última instancia, implican el retorno al gobierno limitado. Su utilización incrementa el poder de las familias y de las comunidades locales, al tiempo que el papel de los estados se debilita. También puede ser la solución al ciclo económico porque no se puede crear más bitcoin. Y como no se puede crear, no se puede manipular. Esa manipulación del dinero es la causa de los ciclos económicos, la inflación y las recesiones, según la interpretación del ciclo que realizan la escuela austriaca de economía. De la misma forma, desaparecería el privilegio exorbitante del dólar, porque Estados Unidos no podría monetizar sus problemas fiscales, que luego son de todo el mundo.
El 2 de octubre de 2018 tuvo lugar en la Fundación del Pino la conferencia de Saifedean Ammous, experto en criptomonedas y autor del libro “El patrón bitcoin”, en la que explicó las características y las posibilidades de este tipo de monedas. Ammous considera que bitcoin es una forma de dinero completamente única. Según explicó, el problema que existe con la mayoría de los tipos de dinero es que, cuanto más se utiliza, más sube su valor. Este hecho genera incentivos para que se emita más, con lo que su valor se devalúa y no puede ejercer la función de depósito de valor. Para evitar este tipo de situaciones se ha tratado de utilizar dinero difícil de producir, como el ganado o los metales. Pues bien, bitcoin es el dinero más difícil de producir. De hecho, la cantidad de bitcoin se ha limitado a 25 millones de unidades y no es posible ir más allá y generar más. Esto es lo que hace que bitcoin sea algo único como depósito de valor, porque no hay forma de aumentar su oferta. Al mismo tiempo, cuanta más gente trate de producir bitcoins, más difícil y más caro resulta hacerlo. Con ello, y gracias también a que se basa en la tecnología blockchain, la red de bitcoin se hace más segura porque hay más procesos en marcha. Cuando aumenta la demanda de bitcoins, aumenta su valor, pero no se incrementa tanto su producción porque cada vez es más difícil obtener uno, lo que lo hace más seguro. Su seguridad también se deriva de que es muy difícil de atacar porque no hay un solo punto de fallo. Tanta es su seguridad que, hasta ahora, nadie ha podido confirmar una transacción fraudulenta con bitcoin porque es una moneda dura, difícil de producir, disponible a escala global, de utilización voluntaria y negociada y valorada libremente en el mercado. Cuando se considera el papel de bitcoin como depósito de valor, lo primero que hay que tener en cuenta es que, en estos momentos, se trata de un activo que no es estrictamente líquido ya que la capacidad de transacción del Bitcoin (que es de 500.000 operaciones diarias) ha llegado a su límite y que hace falta la aplicación de una tecnología denominada SegWit (Segregated Witness) capaz de cuadriplicar la capacidad de transacción del Bitcoin. El límite de operaciones actual es el motivo por el cual el coste de las transacciones ha ido subiendo de forma significativa durante los últimos años.

When a pseudonymous programmer introduced "a new electronic cash system that's fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party" to a small online mailing list in 2008, very few paid attention. Ten years later, and against all odds, this upstart autonomous decentralized software offers an unstoppable and globally-accessible hard money alternative to modern central banks. In this episode I'm joined by economist Dr Saifedean Ammous. In his book The Bitcoin Standard, he analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications. While Bitcoin is a new invention of the digital age, the problem it purports to solve is as old as human society itself; transferring value across time and space. Is Bitcoin mining a waste of energy? Is Bitcoin for criminals? Who controls Bitcoin, and can they change it if they please? There are so many questions surrounding Bitcoin, crypto-assets and the blockchain right now. In this episode, we seek the answers. Here’s my conversation with Saifedean Ammous, author of The Bitcoin Standard, in episode 357 of Informed Choice Radio.
Hyperwave Channel by Lucid Investment StrategiesCo-hosted by D. Tyler Jenks and Leah WaldBitcoin: 31qBca9jRFfux1Qsum9Ekp95MBSgCEWxt6Lucid Investment Strategies, LLChttps://lucidfunds.comD. Tyler Jenks, the President, and CIO of Lucid Investment Strategies LLC developed the proprietary technical system of Hyperwave. After 40 years as an investment manager, he discovered over 300 examples of Hyperwaves within various asset classes; stocks, bonds, commodities, indexes, and cryptocurrencies. Through careful study, he invented and developed the Hyperwave Theory, which is a technical tool to analyze the Hyperwaves and determine price movements. Tyler believes that Bitcoin is currently in a Hyperwave and through these vlogs, he will educate, elucidate and explain the techniques needed to understand this powerful tool.Tyler has managed billions of dollars for Institutional Investors, Pension Funds, Hedge Funds and individual clients. He received his MBA from the University of Hawaii in 1975 and has been involved in the financial markets ever since. His background in technical analysis includes all the major techniques including a number of proprietary systems he and others created and designed.Tyler believes that Hyperwaves occur when there is a momentous shift taking place in the macroeconomic environment. Hyperwaves were formed as the world entered the Great Depression when Bretton Woods was scuttled with the US going off the gold standard in 1971, when Japan rose to world economic prominence in the 1970s and 80s, when the Nasdaq was powered by the dot-com bubble and now, with the introduction of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Amazingly, Tyler believes this newest Hyperwave could be the most significant he has ever studied.

In this, the first episode of this podcast, I provide some thoughts on the book by Saifedean Ammous titled The Bitcoin Standard.
Welcome to the audio podcasting home of Saifedean Ammous and The Bitcoin Standard.When a pseudonymous programmer introduced “a new electronic cash system that's fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party” to a small Online mailing list in 2008, very few paid attention. Ten years later, and against all odds, this upstart autonomous decentralized software offers an unstoppable and globally-accessible hard money alternative to modern central banks. The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications. While bitcoin is a new invention of the digital age, the problem it purports to solve is as old as human society itself: transferring value across time and space. Ammous takes the listener on an engaging journey through the history of technologies performing the functions of money, from primitive systems of trading limestones and seashells, to metals, coins, the gold standard, and modern government debt. Exploring what gave these technologies their monetary role, and how most lost it, provides the listener with a good idea of what makes for sound money, and sets the stage for an economic discussion of its consequences for individual and societal future-orientation, capital accumulation, trade, peace, culture, and art. Compellingly, Ammous shows that it is no coincidence that the loftiest achievements of humanity have come in societies enjoying the benefits of sound monetary regimes, nor is it coincidental that monetary collapse has usually accompanied the collapse of a civilization. With this background in place, the book moves on to explain the operation of bitcoin in a functional and intuitive way. Bitcoin is a decentralized, distributed piece of software that converts electricity and processing power into indisputably accurate records, thus allowing its users to utilize the Internet to perform the traditional functions of money without having to rely on, or trust, any authorities or infrastructure in the physical world. Bitcoin is thus best understood as the first successfully implemented form of digital cash and digital hard money. With an automated and perfectly predictable monetary policy, and the ability to perform final settlement of large sums across the world in a matter of minutes, Bitcoin's real competitive edge might just be as a store of value and network for final settlement of large payments - a digital form of gold with a built-in settlement infrastructure.Ammous' firm grasp of the technological possibilities as well as the historical realities of monetary evolution provides for a fascinating exploration of the ramifications of voluntary free market money. As it challenges the most sacred of government monopolies, bitcoin shifts the pendulum of sovereignty away from governments in favor of individuals, offering us the tantalizing possibility of a world where money is fully extricated from politics and unrestrained by borders.Saifedean's Research Papers available on SSRNSaifedean's blog: The Saif HouseLinkedin Linkedin profileTwitter Twitter profileSaifedean's Udemy course (with a 50% discount)Email Notifications - http://saifedean.com/'The Bitcoin Standard' on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-Standard-Decentralized-Alternative-Central-ebook/dp/B07BPM3GZQ/ref=dp_kinw_strp_1Follow the best podcasts from the best minds in the Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency space on twitter.https://twitter.com/bitcoinpodcasts

No wonder my listeners demanded this episode. Saifedean Ammous takes an economic perspective informed by the Austrian School and applies it to Bitcoin and why it matters. He discusses the various roles Bitcoin can play, and parries common objections. (We also take an animated detour into the BCH/BTC discussion, for those of you interested.)
