Round Two with Lyn Alden and Joseph WangOn this episode of Magic Internet Money, host Brad Mills invites two previous guests back onto the show. Lyn Alden, an investment strategist with a focus on macroeconomics and Joseph Wang, the CIO of Monetary Macro, return to the show to discuss macroeconomics and Bitcoin with Brad.Brad delivers a recap of his previous discussions with the pair of experts recalling problems with proof-of-stake systems resembling fiat money. Joseph ended the previous podcast with questions about the possibility of state intervention which could disrupt Bitcoin, but Brad didn't have enough time to cover the topic on the show. Brad's intent with this meeting of macro experts is to bring this discussion to light.Peer-to-Peer TechnologiesBrad kicks off the discussion where he left off with Joseph, about censorship resistance and how Bitcoin protects against censorship. Joseph brings his traditional finance experience into the discussion and offers a perspective of healthy scepticism, given his knowledge of the banking system and more generally, the financial sector as it is traditionally known. Joseph's first concern is the case of the New York Fed testing CBDCs and in the event that a CBDC ends up being a better use-case than Bitcoin, that could present a threat to Bitcoin. Lyn brings up an important consideration here, which is jurisdiction. This episode revolves around the United States and Canada, but there are other jurisdictions like Europe and China which present different threats to the Bitcoin space.Lyn brings up some case law from the 1990's, where a US court tried to ban peer-to-peer encryption. This particular case resulted in a loss from the US government and peer-to-peer encryption was protected due to it being an expression of speech. While the original case presented peer-to-peer encryption as an inherently villainous thing, peer-to-peer encryption is now a critical component to contemporary banking.Lyn sees a balance between two things when it comes to policy about Bitcoin which are the need for the technology and jurisdiction to quote Lyn; “...part of it also depends on need… Most people (In the United States) don't feel a pressing need to get into Bitcoin”. Lyn makes the comparison to Argentina, where Bitcoin is more widely considered.The peer-to-peer nature of Bitcoin is what makes it censorship resistant across jurisdictions, but in order for Bitcoin to take off at a larger scale, individuals first need to see a need to hold Bitcoin in the first place. In countries with a strong currency, individuals may not have that need.What is the Value of Wall Street?The podcast continues and Brad discusses his trip down the rabbit hole about what money really is and how he felt like he was “living in a big ponzi scam”. Brad asks, “what is the value that Wall Street brings to the world?” For Brad, Wall Street affiliated financial markets feel like casinos. In more simple terms, Wall Street does not produce value, it extracts it and this extraction contributes heavily to wealth inequality.For Brad, Bitcoin is a path away for individuals to protect the value they've created and save in a form of money that won't be debased. Brad mentions his previous affiliation with Austrian economics and libertarianism and his venture away from a libertarian position towards a position without a political label.Brad's position is that Bitcoin has two critical components which make it worth investing in. Bitcoin competes against a centralised system which constantly debases the money supply by offering a decentralised alternative choice to that system. Secondly, Bitcoin has an amount of censorship resistance as a peer-to-peer network, as previously discussed. Bitcoin's ability to evade interventions from other institutions is the critical point of its use case. Lyn mentions some data which supports Brad's position about censorship resistance. Bitcoin has higher instances of use in countries which Lyn describes as “authoritarian” and also have weaker currencies than the US dollar. Lyn remarks “I think it kind of starts in the periphery and moves inward.” Mentioning the fact that the chain analysis crypto adoption index shows that of the top 20 countries adopting cryptocurrency of all kinds, 18 of them are developing countries, with the other two being the US and UK.Bitcoin and Fiscal PolicyJoseph asks Brad if his concern is monetary policy, which involves a discussion about inflation. Brad and Joseph debate about whether or not the disinflationary nature of Bitcoin would make it a bad global currency. Brad mentions cases of Bitcoin forum discussions from 10 or more years ago where Satoshi and other early adopters were discussing how to start Bitcoin banks with a fractional reserve. With this potential, Brad is of the opinion that if Bitcoin were to become a reserve currency, it may resemble eurodollars.Time Stamps00:00:20 - Introduction and Recapping Guest Appearances00:14:00 - Show start00:19:10 - Bitcoin and the Advance of Peer-to-Peer Technologies00:28:15 - Bitcoin vs Emerging Market Currencies00:41:43 - Bitcoin and Taxation00:49:10 - Privacy Coins01:01:24 - What is the Value of Wall Street?01:09:30 - Credit Creation in Bitcoin vs Crypto01:14:25 - The Real Risk of ETH flipping Bitcoin01:21:15 - Last Words and Closing RemarksLinks to Mentions in the Show:Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC)Lightning NetworkGeorge SelginWikileaks being deplatformed in 2010Peter SchiffRobert KiyosakiMichael SaylorMoneroExecutive Order 6102Austrian EconomicsFind Joseph Wang:Joseph Wang TwitterJoseph Wang BlogFind Lyn Alden:Lyn Alden TwitterLyn Alden Investment StrategyFind Brad Mills:Brad Mills TwitterMIM TwitterBrad Mills Facebook
In this episode of Magic Internet Money, Brad invites amateur economist, Bitcoiner, and fan of the show, Henry Magram, onto the show to discuss in-depth two major concepts; The first being Austrian economics and the second being fractional reserve banking. Brad and Henry mostly agree on a few things, but there are the matters of the fine print to settle. Henry is a close follower of the Austrian school and explains the position more in-depth after Brad asks him about the possibility of a middle-ground between Keynesian and Austrian positions. Afterwards, Brad and Henry dive into the second topic, fractional reserve banking. Brad thinks that central banking and banking cannot be separated, but Henry believes the practice of banking need not be run the way central banking is today. The two cap things off with a short debate about what makes a means of exchange count as money before closing the show out.Time Stamps:00:01:00 - Introduction00:04:28 - Introducing Henry Magram00:12:48 - What is the Austrian school of economics?00:18:10 - A middle ground to be found with the Austrian school?00:27:37 - Brad's take on The Bitcoin Standard00:30:50 - Fractional Reserve Banking00:46:30 - Central Banking vs Banking00:57:30 - Price and Expenditure Within Systems01:02:54 - Is Bitcoin Money?01:16:08 - Closing Remarks and PlugsLinks to Mentions in the Show:ClubhouseAustrian EconomicsBlockFiLarry WhiteCantillon EffectThe Bitcoin StandardFractional reserve bankingFind Henry Magram:Henry Magram TwitterFind Brad Mills:Brad Mills TwitterMIM TwitterBrad Mills Facebook

Good morning! This morning I do a little rundown of Abracadabra Money to try to help myself and hopefully you, understand what Abracadabra.Money is and does. This is not an "official video" or even some kind of educational tool. It is just me rambling about this project trying to get my own head wrapped around it and verbalize it. Once I got past the way the term "Magic Internet Money" must sound to outsiders, I dug in and found the tool to be extremely useful and a great way to maximize some interest-bearing tokens that would otherwise just be sitting around in your wallet!

Robert Breedlove, founder of the "What is Money?" podcast, sits down with Brad Mills, host of the Magic Internet Money podcast, to thoroughly breakdown the Bitcoin fundamentals from both a philosophical and a technical standpoint. Starting off with the evolution of money, Breedlove and Mills discuss the desirable properties of money from first principles, followed by a brief history of historical phases of money throughout human history. Breedlove makes the case for Bitcoin as the best form of money we have seen in history, being efficiently portable through both time and space. He analyzes the properties that make a network effect robust and elements that make Bitcoin distinct from altcoins. Ultimately, Breedlove and Mills leave all crypto investors with an important message on overcoming tribalist notions about those who hold different views. Filmed on July 29, 2021.

Many financial concepts are discussed in this episode, making it an ideal listen for those of you wishing to gain a broader understanding of market dynamics and macro economics.

In this episode, Brad teams up with Jeff Booth, author of 'The Price of Tomorrow' and one of the leading voices on technology and its impact. His book delves into how technology brings forth abundance and the danger of holding onto the economic systems of the past. As a person who's worked in the technology space for over 20 years and is an avowed Bitcoiner, Jeff has some interesting insights to share on how those two fields intersect. The two talk about the long-term impact of money printing, why Bitcoin is superior, and why deflation is a good thing for economies.

In this episode of Magic Internet Money, host Brad Mills invites fellow podcaster Jordan Harbinger onto the show to discuss NFTs, second passports, taxation, and money laundering. Both parties agree on the speculation that NFTs are a tulip style bubble, but are here to stay. The duo share their experiences paying taxes in the cryptocurrency space. Jordan explains how tax evasion is nearly pointless with Bitcoin, since the point of the blockchain is accountability. Jordan also offers his experiences in scam busting, and explains how NFTs could be a new gateway for money launderers akin to money laundering in the art collecting business. Finally, the two discuss the possibilities of second passports in the event of government overreaching for crypto assets.
