FIAT Money is the Problem with Jamie King

Episode • Nov 23, 2020 • 1h 56m

In this episode, Brad teams up with Jamie King to talk about Bitcoin vs. Fiat and other relevant topics in our times. Jamie is a filmmaker, a podcast host, and an early and huge fan of the peer-to-peer concept. His 2006 film: Steal This Film is a documentary pushing back against the concept of intellectual property and a promotion of peer-to-peer distribution. As someone who was always a proponent of peer to peer way before Bitcoin, Jamie provides a fascinating take on his discovery and journey with Bitcoin. Plus, what's up with these modern monetary theorists, and how did Trump rise? Also, it's time to completely re-imagine how you view money (hint: as commanding power). Tune in for these and more.
