They reveal how inflation misallocates capital, forces hidden second jobs, and turns saving into gambling. They challenge debt-based investing, arguing a Bitcoin standard pushes equity, honesty, and long-term planning. They connect hard money to sovereignty, lower time preference, and a building mindset over consumption. They close on multipolar geopolitics, capital controls, and why Bitcoin beats gold for human freedom.RELAI DISCLAIMERRelai sponsors this show/podcast and is authorized to provide crypto-asset services in Switzerland and across the European Union under the MiCA regulatory framework with its license issued by the French regulator, AMF (License No: A2025-006).
