Trace Mayer, Bitcoin OG and advocate for monetary sovereignty, joins us for a compelling deep dive into the real-world implications of El Salvador's groundbreaking adoption of Bitcoin. This wasn't a surface-level chat, we covered everything from Bitcoin in El Salvador to the broader global reset many are calling the Fourth Turning.We explored how President Bukele is reshaping El Salvador by combining bold leadership with sound money principles and how Bitcoin fits into that transformation. Trace shares why financial freedom is rooted in individuals taking control of their money, and how El Salvador is providing a real-world test case for that philosophy.We also talk about the risk of centralized financial tools like ETFs, the importance of self-custody through initiatives like Proof of Keys, and how Bitcoin's growing financial infrastructure, especially in derivatives and custody, is shaping the future.Don't forget to subscribe, share this with your favorite fiat-loving friend, and comment below: Would you trust your government to hold Bitcoin for you, or is it safer in your own hands?Learn more about Trace Mayerhttps://www.trace.com/ https://x.com/bitcoinkn Connect with Trace Mayerhttps://x.com/TraceMayer https://www.instagram.com/trace_mayer/ Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: @BitcoinBeachIG: @bitcoinbeach_svTikTok: @livefrombitcoinbeachWeb: bitcoinbeach.comBrowse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 – Why Trace Mayer Traveled to Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador02:30 – How Trace Mayer Got Into Bitcoin and Monetary Sovereignty06:15 – How Inflation Destroys Sound Money and Everyday Wealth10:40 – What Monetary Sovereignty Really Means in Today's World14:50 – Why El Salvador Adopted Bitcoin for Financial Freedom19:30 – How President Bukele Is Using Bitcoin to Change El Salvador25:40 – Why Proof of Keys Still Matters for Bitcoin Users in 202530:10 – Are Bitcoin ETFs Threatening Real Financial Freedom?37:20 – What the Fourth Turning Means for Bitcoin and the Global Economy45:10 – Can the US Reset Its Economy with Bitcoin, Gold, and the Dollar?47:15 – What Trace Mayer Is Building in the Bitcoin Financial System52:00 – Where to Follow Trace Mayer and Learn About His Latest WorkLive From Bitcoin Beach

A hundred years ago, people in small towns were building things that still stop us in our tracks. Two-story brick shops on the corner of Main and Commerce. Sturdy. Modest. Enduring. And beautiful.So the question is: what changed?I joined Geoff Graham on his Yeoman podcast, alongside Jaime Izurieta and Saifedean Ammous (author of The Bitcoin Standard), to try and unpack that question.We talk about why the small towns of the early 1900s could build beautiful things without credentialed architects, starchitects, or REIT funding... and why today, with all our global supply chains and five-star consultants, we mostly build disposable boxes.Turns out, there's a connection between money, time preference, and architecture. And when the money got funny, everything else started to crack too – our neighborhoods, our supply chains, even our standards for beauty.It's a wide-ranging conversation that touches on architecture, monetary policy, code creep, and how the over-financialization of everything is eroding our ability to build for the long haul.Take a listen if you've ever wondered why your grandparents' post office looks better than your city's new civic center.CHAPTERS00:00 The Changing Landscape of Building and Time Preference02:51 Exploring the Intersection of Money and Architecture05:57 Historical Context: Building in Early 20th Century America09:01 The Role of Local Materials and Community in Architecture11:54 Understanding Time Preference and Its Impact on Building15:09 The Influence of Monetary Policy on Architectural Beauty17:50 The Shift from Hard Money to Inflationary Currency21:03 Regulatory Challenges and Their Impact on Construction23:57 The Disparity Between Wealth and Money26:56 The Future of Architecture in an Inflationary Economy40:47 Innovative Window Design and Egress Solutions41:32 The Rising Cost of Housing and Inflation's Impact42:32 Housing as a Store of Value45:18 The Competition for Homeownership47:26 Regulatory Challenges in Housing Production50:47 The Complexity of Modern Building Standards52:43 Energy Efficiency and Building Costs53:43 Inflation and Environmental Concerns56:29 The Future of Energy Production01:01:20 The Role of Nuclear Energy01:03:03 The Case for Sound Money and Bitcoin01:12:14 The Path to a Low Time Preference WorldCONNECT WITH THE GUESTSGeoff Graham: Host of the Yeoman Podcast, real estate developerYeoman Podcast Website: https://graham.dev/yeoman/Jaime Izurieta Varela: Architect, developer, urbanistwww.storefrontmastery.com https://x.com/izurietavarea https://www.linkedin.com/in/izurietavarea/ https://www.instagram.com/storefrontmastery/ https://www.facebook.com/public/Jaime-Izurieta/ Book: Mainstreet Mavericks Saifedean Ammous: Economist, Bitcoin advocate, authorWebsite: https://saifedean.com/Twitter (X): @saifedeanInstagram: @saifedeanPodcast: saifedean.com/podcastCourses: saifedean.com/coursesMENTIONED RESOURCESThe Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking https://saifedean.com/the-bitcoin-standardThe Fiat Standard: The Debt Slavery Alternative to Human Civilization https://saifedean.com/the-fiat-standardCONNECT WITH AUSTIN TUNNELLNewsletter: https://playbook.buildingculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/austintunnell/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-tunnell-2a41894a/ https://twitter.com/AustinTunnellCONNECT WITH BUILDING CULTUREhttps://www.buildingculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/buildingculture/ https://twitter.com/build_culture https://www.facebook.com/BuildCulture/ SPONSORSThank you so much to the sponsors of The Building Culture Podcast!Sierra Pacific Windows: https://www.sierrapacificwindows.com/ One Source Windows: https://onesourcewindows.com/

Why is 43% of Canadians nearing bankruptcy? Are governments hiding the economic disaster? And how close are we to the digital control grid?#Gold #EconomicCrisis #fiatcollapse ----------Thank you to our #sponsor MONEY METALS.

In this explosive episode of Soar Financially, Dr. Judy Shelton—former economic advisor to President Trump and Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute—joins us to deliver a sharp critique of the Federal Reserve and propose bold reforms that could reshape the global financial system.We unpack the true role of the Fed, gold-backed bonds, currency manipulation, Bretton Woods 2.0, and how to restore monetary integrity in America.-Why is the Fed too powerful?- Could gold-backed 50-year bonds anchor the dollar?- And is the U.S. actually “cheating” in global markets?#Gold #federalreserve #goldstandard ------------
In this episode of Soar Financially, Lawrence Lepard, Managing Partner at Equity Management Associates, returns with a powerful breakdown of why the old monetary system is collapsing—and how gold, silver, and Bitcoin are the lifeboats.From a sovereign debt doom loop to relentless money printing, Larry explains why inflation is here to stay, why the Fed is cornered, and why $5,000 gold and $200,000 Bitcoin are not just possible—they're inevitable. We dive into Trump's economic agenda, capital controls, the future of the U.S. dollar, and what the next “big print” will mean for investors.#gold #bitcoin #Inflation---------------------Thank you to our sponsor: Yukon MetalsMake sure to pay them a visit: https://yukonmetals.com/---------------------
In 2014, Daniel Krawisz was one of the most prolific Bitcoin writers: he published some excellent articles with the Nakamoto Institute, and most of them are still relevant. Today, he prefers BSV and believes that Craig Wright is Satoshi. What changed?

Hi Beloved. There is NO DOUBT we are on the cusp of an economic tail wind, shifting into the ecosystem of “Sound Money” through transparency. TRUE CONFESSION: I purchased Bitcoin in 2011, and 5 years later, sold due to it's scandal in the dark web and child trafficking (proven). XRP? Yes please. You're about to learn why. KASS. Digital assets? That's not your vibe. Glad you asked. It actually VERY MUCH is my vibe as an avid economic student. I will be dropping in here and there with foundational education for us to come around the table, learn from and ultimately support you in understanding your options as we move from one decline to the greatest incline in history. This may not make any sense to you - but I suggest listening and letting your subconscious mind to take it in, so when this does hit peak, you have some insights that will remove fear and embody greater understanding. This video features my Friend Rob Dunningham and Kyle. READY? Let's break down the tech stacks behind the emerging digital asset ecosystem. There's a lot of nuance and legal precedent that's important to understand.On one side, we have Bitcoin - the mysterious crypto that's been hyped relentlessly by the media for 16 years. But what does it really do? Payments? Smart contracts? Scalability? Efficiency?Then there's Ethereum - the smart contract platform invested in by CCP-linked entities, JP Morgan, etc. Its founder Vitalik Buterin even crashed on the couch of Ripple's early CTO.And let's talk about Tether - the offshore, unaudited stablecoin whose magical printing seems to prop up Bitcoin's price. Suspicious much?On the other hand, you have Ripple and XRP. XRP has clear legal definition as a virtual currency, not a security. It has real-world use cases, efficiency, and transparency that the others lack.Ripple built on top of the open-source XRP Ledger, similar to how Red Hat built on Linux. This allows interoperability, smart contracts, tokenization, and more across the crypto ecosystem.The key is the XRP token - it acts as the "motor oil" enabling fast, low-cost value transfer between any two parties or ledgers. It's the glue that binds this entire system together.With the RLUSD stablecoin backed 1:1 by reserves and XRP required for all transactions, this seems to be the digital dollar framework envisioned by Trump to keep the USD dominant.The legal clarity, real-world use cases, and technology behind Ripple/XRP make it stand out in this space. It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out. What are your thoughts on the future of digital assets?Thank you to Rob and Captain Kyle. We appreciate your ruthless research, leadership and timeWhere we go one- we go all. Love, Kassandra. PS: Share with a friend. And….follow my X Threads for the most recent real world shifts.

In this episode, we sit down in Miami Beach with the legendary Larry Lepard to discuss his new book, The Big Print: What Happened to America and How Sound Money Will Fix It. We dive deep into how inflation is stealing wealth from everyday Americans, why fiat money is the root of the problem, the Federal Reserve's role in economic manipulation, and why Bitcoin is the only solution for a fair monetary system. Larry breaks down the debt doom loop, the history of monetary policy, and what comes next for the U.S. economy. He shares eye-opening insights about how the financial system has been rigged against the middle class, the consequences of endless money printing, and why Bitcoin is the best tool to restore economic fairness. If you're looking to understand why everything feels broken and how Bitcoin can fix it.Get "The Big Print" at https://www.amazon.com/Big-Print-Happened-America-Sound/dp/B0DVTCVX8J/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1UA44KHWPB7GG&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Ei1bAq04Y8DjjBKRYFj59AYpO4MMX3MxZGmINWScapG68zQYXOHpdKzmClrBPve8VkErMVpVkiPId0xykhHPVltkVXp1gL1J9NcUa7ykk6m2dC_Gxx8P9G40gzLeKnrNRMondM4jWUZsZ2lV8P9IdhNPJVsV1oObUzNHZ6iqcdi0mQupBbagPMj9AWv88iFPBmdlp3ftlq7tGCcqRsXXqtgbl24k9TFdUwokoysZrCI.68ycrGz2CFIvvGVzMomwL_2AqK4n_VmRxjSKQVYX0AU&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+big+print&qid=1741635390&sprefix=the+big+print%2Caps%2C131&sr=8-1Need liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

Today I'm joined by Teddy Pierce, author of Dethrone Davos: Save America, to discuss the shocking waste, fraud, and abuse that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been uncovering. From reckless spending to blatant money laundering, we're breaking down how our government has been misusing our hard-earned tax dollars—and why this corruption must be stopped. Transparency and accountability aren't just buzzwords; they're essential for restoring actual integrity to our system.

Is regenerative agriculture enough to fix America's broken rural economies? Can we simply soil health our way out of the mess that the has been created by inflation and the printing of money? Joel Hollingsworth says “no.” While soil health and regenerative agriculture are crucial without sound money we are going to struggle to get...
Dr. Judy Shelton, senior fellow at the Independent Institute and author of "Good as Gold: How To Unleash The Power of Sound Money," explains why the U.S. stands at a monetary crossroads requiring fundamental reform. She critiques the Federal Reserve's practice of paying banks billions not to lend, the distortionary effects of currency manipulation in international trade, and the moral implications of a 2% inflation target that systematically erodes savings. Shelton argues for auditing the Fed, restoring accountability, and considering gold-linked bonds as a path toward sound money, which she describes as a foundational element of economic liberty consistent with America's founding principles.Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by Monetary Metals. https://monetary-metals.com/julia Links: Book: https://www.independent.org/store/book.asp?id=143X: https://x.com/judyshel0:00 Introduction of Dr. Judy Shelton1:01 Overview of monetary crossroads and need for reform4:23 Discussion of needed monetary reforms and Fed critique6:36 Analysis of Fed's interest rate mechanism8:58 Explanation of Fed payments to financial institutions11:25 International monetary impacts and currency distortions13:34 Sound money as moral contract and possibility16:31 Historical support for gold standard from past presidents19:56 Critique of Fed's 2% inflation target22:09 Question about Fed serving public interest25:03 Central bank accountability issues27:51 Gold-linked bonds proposal30:22 Closing remarks and where to find her work
