Show Notes

Today we break into the racket that is the IMF and World Bank monetary imperialism. Piggy backing off Gladstein's remarkable piece detailing the horrific consequences of this system and the clear intent and disregard for human life and basic freedoms, we discuss the fundamental principles of sound money that would be a basis to prevent this, how the fiat system gets around this balancing forces and corrupts the incentives, and how Bitcoin and a global neutral standard may finally bring about its end.

Listen to the full work by Gladstein, of the other piece mentioned in this Guy's Take from Nayib Bukele:

Mr Mr says: yes many of us dabble in numerology for our boosts. i do a base boost, and add on bonus's. EG +1000 sats for mentioning PC2.0 in an episode +5000 if it changed my life etc. some of the common ones are: 1111 A sack of richards (think about it) 1337 'leet (hacker speak) 2222 row of ducks 6006 small boobs 8008 boobs 8006 lop sided boobs 8888 sack of eights the usernames like 'user98764376', my understanding is this is a randomly assigned handle, not a 'significant' thing. Keep it up!
