We're joined by Dante Disparte, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy at Circle, one of the biggest issuers of stablecoins (USDC) in the world. This year marks an important inflexion point for stablecoins as adoption and key regulation kicks in. We're glad to have some one like Dante who has worked at the intersection of finance, technology, and policy, including his role on the US Digital Currency Governance Consortium and the World Economic Forum. As one of the central figures behind USDC, Circle's fully-reserved dollar-based stablecoin, he breaks down the real-world applications of stablecoins, how they differ from traditional banking rails, and what this means for billions of people globally. We dive into: • How traditional banking rails are fundamentally broken, and why stablecoins collapse messaging and settlement into a single, real-time action. • Why USDC is a safer, 1:1 dollar-backed alternative to traditional banking deposits. • How stablecoins are already transforming economic life in emerging markets. • The global policy implications of programmable digital money. • Why this is not about disrupting traditional finance—but completing its unfinished work. Stablecoins represent a transformative opportunity to rebuild the global financial system in an open, instant, and borderless manner, akin to how the internet revolutionized information sharing. By eliminating intermediaries and leveraging blockchain technology, stablecoins can significantly reduce transaction costs and times, making financial services more accessible and efficient worldwide. This shift has the potential to democratize finance, enabling seamless global commerce and innovation, much like how email and the web democratized communication and information access. Key Takeaways from the Episode: 1. Stablecoins Collapse Messaging and Settlement into One Layer: Unlike traditional systems like SWIFT or PayPal, where a payment is just a message and settlement lags behind, stablecoins like USDC send the actual value along with the message—executing real-time, programmable transactions. 2. The World's Financial Plumbing Is Broken: Slow, expensive, and opaque systems benefit incumbents who profit from delays. Stablecoins offer an open, interoperable alternative—what Dante calls the "Internet of Value." 3. USDC is 1:1 Backed – Not Fractional Reserve: Circle holds 100% of reserves in cash and short-term US Treasuries. Fully transparent, independently audited, and free from commingling, USDC is designed for trust at scale. 4. Emerging Markets Are Leading Adoption: USDC is being adopted as a store of value and medium of exchange in places with volatile local currencies, enabling billions of unbanked and underbanked users to access the global economy. 5. Stablecoins Enable New Forms of Programmable Finance: From streaming payments to tokenized IP ownership, stablecoins unlock composable, automated financial systems. Think of it as building with financial Lego blocks. 6. Interoperability Is Key: Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP) and integration with 18+ blockchains allow USDC to operate natively across ecosystems—much like email works across providers. 7. Stablecoins vs. CBDCs vs. Bitcoin: Dante lays out why stablecoins (especially private-sector ones) offer better trust, scalability, and flexibility than central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) or highly volatile assets like Bitcoin. 8. Global Policy Must Catch Up: Governments should embrace rules-based competition and interoperability, rather than stifling innovation. Stablecoins are not here to replace sovereign currencies—they're here to complete unfinished work in the financial system. Join us for a masterclass in monetary innovation and policy with one of the most visionary voices in fintech.

Today's guest is the co-founder of Looking Glass Education and author Seb Bunney, a well-known Canadian Bitcoiner who has written two superb books - "B is for Bitcoin" and "The Hidden Cost of Money". In this episode, we tackle the question of why the financial system as it exists today is fundamentally broken and unfair. We also decided to do a little Bitcoin FUD-busting 101. So often, we're asked by family or friends about this or that issue with Bitcoin, and it's always helpful to hear from educators as to how best to respond.

Lyn Alden joins the Freedom Footprint Show to talk about how Bitcoin fixes the broken money system. Lyn is the author of Broken Money, partner at Ego Death Capital, and a renowned macro analyst focusing on Bitcoin. Key Takeaways:
I speak with Andrew L. Wilson, Author and Professor of History of Christianity as well as a Bitcoiner and host of The Disentanglement Podcast, exploring privacy tech and the surveillance state. We talk about infrastructure, AI, money, and democracy: the challenges of our generation. We also discuss an article that Andrew wrote from before he knew about Bitcoin, about local currencies and circular economies that has some interesting parallels.
Tom welcomes back Lyn Alden, Founder of Lyn Alden Investment Strategy, to the show. Lyn discusses abundant and scarce things in investing, focusing on the era of fiscal dominance that has led to bonds becoming abundant. This is due to large budget deficits and private debt being transferred to the public sector. The implications include higher average fiscal-driven inflation and potential impact on asset prices and tax receipts. The Federal Reserve's ability to perfectly tune the economy to avoid recession for the next decade is questioned. In emerging markets, stocks may rise in local currency but decrease in hard money terms during recessions. The U.S., however, is experiencing fiscal dominance where public debt exceeds GDP, making it harder to fight inflation and slow down borrowing. While interest rates can help make a country's currency attractive or reduce borrowing demand, raising interest rates results in ballooning expenses, offsetting disinflationary forces. The commercial real estate sector is heavily impacted, but travel companies, seniors, and wealthy individuals may benefit from higher interest rates. Lyn discusses the SVB bank crisis in 2023, suggesting that the Fed might prioritize saving banks or the Treasury market over controlling inflation, limiting monetary policy flexibility. The potential outcomes of interest rate cuts include growth and demand for commodities but less effectiveness due to fiscal dominance. She emphasizes energy exposure as a hedge against inflationary pressures. Investment strategies include owning assets related to dense forms of energy in the energy sector, focusing on demographics, aging workforces, and understanding China's labor supply and demand. Alternative investment portfolios like the permanent portfolio and IV portfolio deviate from the traditional 60-40 stock-bond split by including gold and commodities for diversification. The development of Bitcoin ETFs is seen as inevitable due to its size and liquidity, but risks include hacks and confiscations. Developed countries generally accept Bitcoin as a store of value while regulating its use as a medium of exchange. The importance of building tools to make Bitcoin more efficient for users is emphasized. Lyn's book, "Broken Money," discusses global financial system issues, with countries relying on the US dollar facing negative consequences if it devalues or if the US manipulates currencies. Running large structural trade deficits is necessary but comes with negative effects such as decreased export competitiveness and de-industrialization. The shift towards more neutral assets like gold and Bitcoin in response to unreliable US dollars is emphasized, along with considering multiple variables and being data-dependent.

Broken Money author, Lyn Alden, likens today's inflation to the fiscal-driven inflation of the 1940s. Add in a runaway federal deficit and increasing geopolitical instability, and it's no surprise that gold and bitcoin have both reached new all-time highs.

On this episode, Nate is joined by investment strategist Lyn Alden to discuss how energy and technology have shaped our monetary system and current financial trends. While more people are becoming aware of energy's foundational role in our global systems, it is still widely overlooked, especially among those working in finance. In contrast, Lyn's biophysically rooted analysis of macroeconomic patterns expose the cyclical dysfunction of the world's economy. How has increasing energy availability and productivity offset the inflationary nature of fiat currencies - and what happens if this trend were to slow or reverse? What assumptions and biases have led most analysts to mis-read long term trends, leaving us with vulnerable economies? Is it possible to rejigger our systems and innovate more biophysically aligned tools to enable a smoother transition into a future with a lower energy throughput? About Lyn Alden: Lyn Alden is an independent analyst and founder of Lyn Alden Investment Strategy with a background in engineering management. Her work provides institutional-level research in plain English, so that both institutional investors and retail investors can benefit from it. Lyn also serves as an independent director on the board of Swan.com and as a general partner at the venture capital firm Ego Death Capital. She is the author of the 2023 best-selling book Broken Money about the past, present, and future of money through the lens of technology. Lyn has a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and a master's degree in engineering management, with a focus on engineering economics, systems engineering, and financial modeling. She worked for over a decade as an electrical engineer at the Federal Aviation Administration's William J. Hughes Technical Center.

"A recent anonymous proposal specifies a system using timelocked Bitcoin transactions and chaumian ecash mints to create an economic incentive for BitTorrent users to seed files." ~ Shinobi Bittorrent was one of the most important protocols in the world during its day, but it always had one striking drawback, for any content that wasn't very popular, availability was always a problem. Even more so today as the network has found itself a smaller and more fringe part of internet culture. What if there was a way to incentivize seeders to return? To bring the P2P protocol back into its element? An anonymous proposal called Durabit, seeks to marry bitcoin, ecash, and bittorrent, to potentially breathe new life into the old P2P system.

Lisa is a former natural gas trader and currently serves as the VP of Strategic Relationships at Custodia Bank. Dom is a proud fire fighter, former President of the Santa Monica Fire Fighters, and Founder of Proof of Workforce, a non-profit helping workers, unions, and businesses with education-based Bitcoin adoption.

Oct 18, 2023 – Lyn Alden explains the key themes of her best-selling book, Broken Money: Why Our Financial System is Failing Us and How We Can Make it Better. In today's discussion, Alden discusses the key role of technology in the evolution of money...
"I think the Left probably has a bigger disconnect on money than we see elsewhere." My guest today is Lyn Alden. Lyn is a macroeconomist, author, and founder of Lyn Alden Investment Strategy. Far from a niche libertarian curiosity, Lyn compellingly frames bitcoin as aligning with progressive values of financial inclusion, human rights, environmental sustainability and transparency. By tracing the evolution of monetary systems, she builds a thoughtful bipartisan case for why progressives should reconsider biases against this new form of "hard money." In this conversation we discuss her new book Broken Money, which I think is one of the best books for low and working class people that exposes our current broken money and global financial system which benefits wealthy elite at the expense of every day people. We analyze global financial systems, the need for financial inclusion, Bitcoin's opt-out properties, and how Bitcoin transcends traditional partisan divisions. Lyn makes a compelling yet nonpartisan case for why those on the left concerned with human rights, the environment, and social equity should take a fresh look at Bitcoin's possibilities. My hope is that this conversation will help folks from the left gain a better understanding of money, our global financial system, and yearn to learn more by reading Lyn's book and other resources about how we can actually help people the way our values and social programs desire to. We can't being to fix the world until we fix the money. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFhIZCyz09I Lyn Alden: twitter: https://twitter.com/LynAldenContact nostr: https://primal.net/p/npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a Trey Walsh: https://nostree.me/Trey@progressivebitcoiner.com SPONSOR: BitBox: Use promo-code TPB during checkout to get 5% off your purchase: https://bitbox.swiss/tpb Sazmining: Get $50 off the purchase of a miner using the following link: https://app.sazmining.com/purchase?ref=tpb.

Lyn Alden is a macroeconomist and investment strategist. This interview is the final of three shows where we discuss Lyn's amazing new book: Broken Money. In this show, we recap the flaws in the modern financial system, and then we discuss the potential of Bitcoin as a decentralised solution with its ability to allow hard asset money to move globally at speed. - - - - It is becoming increasingly clear, even to people without expertise in monetary or fiscal matters, that the current economic system is in need of urgent reform. The money supply continues to inflate, rewarding large, well-connected entities at the expense of smaller ones, with liabilities shifting from the private to the public sector. At the state level, many countries are facing serious challenges in accumulating capital and making global payments. In short, money is broken. At a more fundamental level, there are serious technical limitations with current forms of money. Humans have been trying to make gold and silver easier to use for thousands of years, leading to the development of various banking tools. However, the increasing level of abstraction in these tools has caused major issues, especially with the rise of telecommunications. This has led to the current system where physical money is too slow for the modern global economy. Bitcoin is a potential solution to all these issues. It is different from previous monetary innovations as it allows hard asset money to move globally at the speed of digital communications, which could revolutionise the financial system. It is unsurprising that it has emerged at the end of the long-term debt cycle, as an innovation that unified various technical concepts developed over previous decades, with the aim of creating a form of money suitable for the digital age. But perhaps more important than the technical aspects of Bitcoin is the rigid and predictable monetary policy, which consists of two simple rules: a fixed limit of 21 million coins and a halving of the inflation rate every 210,000 blocks (approximately every four years). Its decentralised nature protects this monetary policy from being corrupted. This simplicity contrasts starkly with the complex and convoluted monetary policies of central banks and governments. Bitcoin therefore offers a global, decentralised ledger that allows for easy cross-border transactions and protects against debasement. Whilst its advantages are more immediately obvious to the people and governments in developing countries, Bitcoin's importance extends to all people and all countries. There are always risks to Bitcoin that the community needs to be prepared for, so it is vital to educate people about Bitcoin and its long-term potential.

“As the first time where hard asset, bearer asset money can move at the speed of telecommunications globally… it's one of the first technologies in money that can improve it that's not centralising, it's arguably decentralising, and that's what makes it different than the past 200 years of monetary innovations.”— Lyn AldenLyn Alden is a macroeconomist and investment strategist.

Lyn Alden is a macroeconomist and investment strategist. This interview is the second of three shows where we discuss Lyn's amazing new book: Broken Money. In this show, we explore the concept of hard money, the ascendancy of paper money and the transition from gold-backed currency to fiat currency. We talk about the birth of banks, fractional reserve lending, central banks, the flaws of the Bretton Woods system, and the impact of the petrodollar. - - - - Historically, hard money like gold has been considered the ideal form of money due to its scarcity & durability. However, another aspect to consider is utility. Paper money, despite not being as hard as gold, became dominant because of its convenience and speed. Speed is perhaps one of the most important functions people demand in money: throughout history, humans have sought to make money more portable and efficient. At the same time as money was evolving, so were the institutions associated with managing money. Banks can be traced back hundreds of years with the provision of credit and the increased portability of money. The modern form of banks emerged in Europe over the past few centuries; the importance of banking to the functions of the state led to the development of central banks that financed governments, particularly during times of war. The demand for speed opened the door for the introduction of fiat currency, which offered faster and more convenient transactions. Government legal tender laws and taxes on non-monetary assets further solidified the dominance of fiat currency. But, this also opened up the distortion of money as a result of greed and abuse. The speed arbitrage provided by fiat currency has allowed for more manipulation and corruption. The evolution of fiat currency led to the emergence of the petrodollar: the United States sought to replace gold with the dollar and maintain its economic and military dominance by enabling the dollar to become the global reserve currency. However, this has negatively impacted countries outside of the US, and it's also now affecting the US. The future of money needs a reboot. The development of a decentralized alternative will be the focus of the final show of this series.

This show, the first in a series of three shows, delves into the history of money: the concept of money as a ledger, its different forms throughout history, as well as the properties that make a commodity suitable for use as money. - - - - One of the key concepts Lyn explores is the idea of money as a ledger, of which there are three main forms: commodity money, governed by the specific properties of the physical commodity being used as money; bank money, which is a ledger governed by nation states and managed by central banks; and, open-source money like Bitcoin, where the ledger is governed by the users, who create and maintain the rules of the system. But how did money develop? Money emerged as an innovation to solve the problems of barter, where the limitations of the double coincidence of wants and lack of trust between traders made transactions difficult. Money emerged as a liquid accounting system making transactions more efficient. Different cultures used various commodities as forms of money throughout history, including shell beads, cocoa, salt, and furs. Each type of commodity used as money had unique properties that made them suitable, such as divisibility and the ability for them to be recombined. As technology advanced, people were able to produce more of these commodities, which led to their devaluation. However, two commodities that were difficult to devalue were silver and gold. These precious metals were rarer and had a natural difficulty adjustment, making them more suitable as money. As important as the technology of money was the evolution of the theory of money. Two competing theories of money emerged: commodity theory and credit theory. Commodity theorists believed that barter was the precursor to money. However, credit as a form of money has been found in modern hunter-gatherer societies and used as an effective way of circumventing the need for commodities as money. The current paradigm is seeing bank money and credit theory coming under significant strain. Every system controlled by human administrators degrades over time, with most currencies experiencing high inflation or even hyperinflation within a human lifetime. However, despite attempts to find alternatives like the dollar or Bitcoin, nothing quite fills the void left by the local currency. How money broke will be the focus of the next show.

Tom welcomes back Lyn Alden, Founder of Lyn Alden Investment Strategy, to the show to discuss the markets, the Fed, and the concept of fiscal dominance. Lyn explains that the unusual phenomenon of budget deficits widening despite low unemployment since 2016-2017 is largely due to demographics, leading to the concept of fiscal dominance where large deficits and high public debts can override monetary policy. She also talks about the two causes of inflation and the different tools used to combat them, such as fixing supply side bottlenecks, addressing what is causing the elevated rate of money supply growth, and looking at the long-term growth rate of truly scarce goods and services. She discusses the different ways in which the injection of a trillion dollars into the economy would affect price and asset inflation. Lyn explains that if the money is given to the top 100 wealthiest people, the effect will likely be asset price inflation, whereas if it is distributed to the bottom 50% of society, there will be more consumer price inflation. The two also discuss the challenge of increasing GDP and productivity without affecting the CPI, and Lyn suggests investing in scarce assets such as gold, Bitcoin, and high-value properties. Lyn then explains the current Federal Reserve policy of quantitative tightening, and how it has delayed a recession. She compares the US to Australia and Canada, explaining how in the US most consumer debt is fixed rate, and in Australia and Canada it is more variable rate. Lastly, she talks about the idea of reshoring manufacturing to the U.S. and how this could drive inflation, and the implications of the peak of shale oil production in the US, and how this could affect any manufacturing reshoring effort. Lyn also talks about her forthcoming book, "Broken Money," which covers the development of money, the current financial system, and the pros and cons of various types of money. She believes that Bitcoin is a good investment for the next two years, due to the tight supply-side dynamics and economic re-acceleration that may take place. Ultimately, she emphasizes the importance of remaining flexible and humble in the face of complex markets.

Are you a person in ministry, business, or entrepreneurship who has a God-given dream, impact that you want to make in the world, a mission, or a God-vision and you're struggling to see it come to reality?This week on the Spirit Driven Success podcast, I am talking with my friend and colleague, Dr. Shannon, a brain science expert and business strategist. Dr. Shannon is the CEO and Founder of Epic Success, a neuroscience coaching program. She is a Doctor in Neuropsychology and a serial entrepreneur who also founded a nonprofit in Uganda, Mosaic Vision, which works to support Ugandan widows and children orphaned by AIDS. Shannon knew that God had called her to something big, but she found herself procrastinating, getting into perfectionism, stopping, and starting. She is no stranger to burnout and believing the story that you have to work yourself into the ground to earn the right to be successful.A believer who was doing all the right things, going to church, praying, working hard, but she had her cup upside down and knew she had to find a way to reach her God potential in a better way.Shannon discovered the process to remove the limiting stories that seem to run on auto-pilot in our brains so we no longer have to be a slave to the flesh but can think in a way that aligns with the Lord and with success. This was the birth of her neuro-coaching model.You didn't create your own money story, your success story, or your worth story - you received it from your environment of origin. You've been on auto-pilot receiving automations that you did not choose.Dr. Shannon is revealing to you the powerful tools to help you break free from any automated systems that are keeping you stuck and unable to reach the potential that God has created you for.You will learn the below important keys to success:How just “thinking differently” & “willpower” isn't the answerThe 2 ‘key' things you need to shift your brain automation to successThe 4-step process to hack your system and remove the automated stories that are holding you backThese will involve unpacking your stories of origin, facing the resistances that you will encounter and within that, leaning into the steps you need to take to grow your business.By the end of the episode, you are going to have some clear action steps that you can take away to unwire your broke money story enabling you to unlock your God-given potential and reach your God visions.You will want to grab a pen and paper for this one because you will definitely want to take notes on this absolutely transformative, impactful, and powerful message from Dr. Shannon. I'm so grateful to have her as a guest on the show and you definitely don't want to miss this one! We change by the renewing of our minds, and Dr. Shannon broke down how that works.You can learn more about Dr. Shannon at her below links!Dr. Shannon's Epic Success coaching programDr. Shannon on InstagramDr. Shannon's Podcast, Epic SuccessDr. Shannon's Brain priming audios
