  "All fiat dies because it's a trusted token that governments can arbitrarily change. Every fiat with every single powerful military behind it fell when the entity decided that they were just going to change the rules. And the military didn't protect them, the military protected them abusing the rules from the population.Argentina's military did not protect the Argentine population from hyperinflation. It protected the government from a revolution. The Venezuelan, the Zimbabwean, the huge list of fiat hyperinflations, the military was not your friend. It did not back the currency. It protected the government of their ability to defraud the population and eviscerate everyone's life savings, eviscerate their paychecks, and make the entire country poor to keep the elite rich." ~ Guy Swann Bitcoin isn't part of the crypto casino—it's something entirely different. In this conversation with Rajat Soni, we break down why Bitcoin operates more like language than a speculative asset and why trusted money inevitably falls apart. We explore the network effects that will keep more dollars chasing Bitcoin forever, the myth that the dollar is backed by military power, and why Bitcoin's constant bid will bring long-term stability. We also get into why altcoins can't survive as global money, how the entire stock market has turned into a gambling machine, and the harsh reality of the U.S. government's financial position. But beyond all of this, what is the most important downstream effect of Bitcoin? We dive into it all.
