"Historically, what do nations do when they're on a gold standard and they need to fight a war? They just suspend the gold standard. The difference is that what Bitcoin brings is this decentralization, where if you were truly on a Bitcoin standard, someone in Washington, D.C. couldn't just say, "We're going off the Bitcoin standard now." That's the power that Bitcoin has, that you can actually have a chance at separating money and the state, and that is the most important thing in the world to do." ~ Dave Smith In this episode of the Bitcoin Audible podcast, I'm releasing an insightful panel discussion from the Bitcoin 2024 event, where I was joined by three brilliant minds - Mark Moss, Luke Gromen, and Dave Smith.We dive deep into a crucial topic: the intersection of government overreach, fiscal irresponsibility, and Bitcoin's transformative potential. We explore how government control over money has fueled endless wars, cultural manipulation, and economic distortions. Our conversation delves into the ways Bitcoin, and its decentralized nature, might be the key to separating money from state control, leading us toward a future of fiscal responsibility and economic growth. Join us as we discuss the current landscape of government spending and debt, and how Bitcoin offers a crucial solution to these pressing issues.
