In his speech, Oliver addresses the question of the importance of money in society and the need to understand its history and value. He also discusses the concept of trade as a defining feature of humanity and the role of money as a fair medium of exchange for a lifetime of work.
He also warns about the increasingly limited opportunity to buy Bitcoin, emphasizing personal responsibility in achieving financial freedom and the elite status it offers in the digital age.
Finally, Oliver explains how self-custody of Bitcoin is akin to self-custody of life, challenging the notion of returning to "slavery" by selling Bitcoin for fiat currency.
This is what is laid out in this talk, which took place on Twitter (X) in August of 2023. Enjoy.
