In this conversation, Jim interviews Jimmy Song about Bitcoin and the problems with the fiat monetary system. They discuss the concept of exchanging time for money and how the government's control over money is a form of slavery. They also explore the potential future of Bitcoin and its impact on economies, particularly in developing countries. 3 Key Takeaways: Decentralized Digital Scarcity: Song explains Bitcoin as a unique form of decentralized digital money that merges the benefits of both decentralization and digital convenience, distinguishing it from both physical assets like gold and centralized digital currencies like the US dollar. Impact of Fiat Money: The discussion highlights how fiat currencies, particularly the US dollar, distort economic realities through excessive money creation, leading to inflated costs and bloated administrative sectors. This mechanism undermines traditional value and productivity. Future of Currencies: The episode explores the potential collapse of fiat currencies, including the US dollar, and the rise of alternative systems. Song provides a forecast of how hyperinflation might manifest and the role Bitcoin could play as a more stable financial instrument amidst global economic shifts. Jim and Jimmy have provided a thought-provoking discussion on the limitations of the current fiat monetary system.   Connect with Jimmy Song: Twitter: https://x.com/jimmysong Medium: https://jimmysong.medium.com/ Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/jimmysong/

Many worry about threats to Bitcoin, but what if the biggest threat is much closer to home? In this video, Ser Ulric digs deep into the real dangers facing Bitcoin today—not from governments or corporations, but from within the community itself. With insights from Bitcoin author and expert Jimmy Song, we challenge the mainstream narratives, calling out those who trade instead of hodl, trust instead of verify, and follow influencers instead of understanding the core principles. Are you truly part of the Bitcoin Revolution, or a liability to yourself and those around you? It's time to refine your understanding and take responsibility. WGMI...right?

"It’s been amazingly freeing because I don’t worry about my investments, mostly because I don’t have very many. I’m on a Bitcoin standard and I keep my value in my unit of account." — Jimmy SongWhat's the difference between investing in Bitcoin and living on a Bitcoin standard? In this episode, we explore Jimmy Song's insights on how shifting your unit of account to Bitcoin can transform your perspective on money, investing, and economic value. Find out how a Bitcoin standard frees us from the burden of arbitrary investment and the rat race of inflation avoidance in a sea of rent seekers.

In this episode, I delve into optimizing life while leaving a meaningful legacy. I critique the "Die With Zero" concept, popularized by Bill Perkins and others. Perkins stresses intentional living by managing time, wealth, and health effectively, but at the expense of family wealth and legacy.I also explore the societal shift towards individualism and instant gratification and contrast it with the traditional values of family and legacy. The role of the family can be in providing support, guidance, and purpose. Building family wealth and nurturing intergenerational connections are ways to leave a lasting impact that extends beyond one's lifetime.Episode page: www.simplewealthkc.com/post/against-die-with-zeroGet the essential list of The Reformed Financial Advisor episodesFollow Andy Flattery on TwitterSend an email to andy@simplewealthkc.comAndy Flattery is the Owner of Simple Wealth Planning, a Registered Investment Advisor.

We discussed the idea of scarcity, the only real restriction to production being human time, the reason why human action is so important and the ridiculousness of simplifying human beings so they are assumed to act the same. We also talked about the reason why energy is such an important part of economic life and how unemployment is really a fiat phenomenon.Enjoyed this episode?

“The moral case for Bitcoin is that you don't have this cesspool of theft, corruption and cronyism that you do with the US dollar. Fiat money is just straight up evil, it is an institution of corruption, of theft, of extracting value from people that can least afford it; and bitcoin is one that's way fairer.”— Jimmy SongJimmy Song is a Bitcoin educator, developer and entrepreneur. In this interview, we discuss Bitcoin's growing political power, how Lightning has better privacy properties than Monero, why decentralisation is binary, and the moral case for Bitcoin.- - - - There is plenty to be concerned about in today's world: economic, social, and political issues are compounding in severity. Solutions from governing elites are in short supply. And there seem to be bad faith actors at every turn. Imagine then a world without Bitcoin. But whilst people may thank God (or blind serendipity) for Bitcoin, we also need to be cognizant of, and prepared for, the associated pitfalls and critical examinations. A powerful and growing constituency of Bitcoiners, who cut across political divides, is seen as ripe for cultivating by ambitious and power-hungry politicians. How do we distinguish between genuine support for the community and exploitative manoeuvring?Further, what about Bitcoin's fixed monetary policy? In a time of rampant monetary and fiscal stimulus, where inevitable inflationary effects are beginning to bite, Bitcoin's potential as an unrivalled store of value could see its adoption accelerate. Those in the industry contend with these concerns at regular intervals. What is apparent is that Bitcoiners are kept energised by Bitcoin's most unique utility: its strong moral underpinning. This is one of the attributes that give people faith that Bitcoin can be the basis for a better world.
