Credit as it is today is fiat subsidised and backed. So it is artificially cheaper, it causes the boom-bust cycle, and it rewards insiders.
Ryan McMaken, Executive Editor and Economist at the Mises Institute, explains the concept of ‘Radical Decentralization’ and why secession is more important now than ever.
Silent Payments is a new approach to improving privacy and useability of Bitcoin. Imagine not needing to manually create new addresses? Josie and Ruben Somsen join me to discuss how it's possible.
