First time I'm hearing of Richard Werner, but he said many interesting things in this interview. Does anyone know whether he seriously engaged with Bitcoin yet? @Lyn Alden maybe? https://tuckercarlson.com/tucker-show-richard-werner

you might know him better by high high school nick name - Dick Weiner.
He’s a regular speaker at the Mallorca blockchain days, which is mostly bitcoin. The talks I’ve seen were not focused on bitcoin though
He thinks CIA created it and will use it to ruin the world.
I’m reasonably sure he’s controlled op
He’s against it. He believes the money supply needs to be flexible.
@Gigi but here he seems to have changed his mind. From 2 mins he explains his opinion of Bitcoin. Previously he’s said though that he believes in flexible money and credit creation.

S15 E56: Prof. Richard Werner on Bitcoin, CBDCs & Banking - Bitcoin Takeover Podcast
Prof. Richard Werner is best known for proposing quantitative easing while working at the Bank of Japan in the 1990s, and then predicting the 2008 ...
Hm. Interesting!
I am a 100% BTC Maximalist but at the same time I think private companies should be allowed to create credit out of thin air, its what the free market wants.
But no lender of last resort/ central bank.
In short, 19th century Free Banking.
Not sure but, I do think he is more into diversified portfolio. „Gold longterm. Crypto & Bitcoin short to medium term,…..“
Thx. I’ll answer Gigi too
The @Vlad, Bitcoin Takeover Podcast pod with him covered bitcoin

Nice, thanks! I will check it out. Also, would love if you were able to compress your podcasts down to 100mb and post them on Plebs. Or, maybe did more shortened versions that you could then link the YouTube video if people wanted to see the whole video. This way people who don't want to use Google services could instead use Nostr to watch some of it 😎
Watch Videos on Nostr with Plebs
Plebs is a censorship-resistant, decentralized video platform powered by the Nostr social protocol
My audio files have 200 MB plus and you want me to compress the video down to 100? 😅
Not entirely by choice 🥲 Plebs uploads the videos across numerous Blossom hosts, which most only support 100mb uploads. It's for good reason, as the hash generation would take an enormous time for larger files. Luckily, Plebs does have some auto compression that might work, but would suggest trying to compress it yourself first, if possible. Decentralization isn't always the best, but at least your video is spread across multiple hosts and if one goes down, the hash is used to fetch it from another.
MP3 podcasts at 32kbps (4 minutes per MB) are listenable. 64kbps is perfect.
there is a clip for this ? :o
couldnt find Honne at 1:17:40 haha
“seek truth from facts”
Richard Werner taught me about City of London, how financial metrics can be misused to create narratives to mislead eg GDP, and he believes in lots of small, decentralized community banks.
Helped me to understand the machinations of big banks and how they extract value (loot).
My black pill moment is I'd like to find out the real story, behind the Bank Secrecy Act - because I believe thats where the real trouble lies.
He's never expressed an opinion about BTC on any of the podcasts I've seen.
Thank you for the Tucker Carlson link.
He did… on my interview with him in a panel. I don’t think he gets it.
In this interview (July 2024) I’m asking him explicitly about bitcoin and his vision on more small community banks- challenging him with the fact that he’s essentially preaching for more fiat banks, and further fractional reserve banking and from his answer I felt like he doesn’t get Bitcoin, nor that he sees the issues/problems with excessive printing of fiat and fractional reserve / debt creation. I think it’s a bit strange to be honest. Also when Philip Bagus challenges his view, he calls it nonsense.
Watch from minute 27:
Thank you! 🙏
You’re welcome. I wish he would get it, but I think he doesn’t.
Not the question but Phillip Bagus got purplepilled, even if not orangepilled.
We live in a time of transition, between the times before Bitcoin and the time after. In decades we cross a divide and on both sides the other world feels so far away. Bitcoin is the technology but it's the people that matter and we can try to help the two worlds be seen at the same time

Excited to open the door to #nostr after meeting @Philipp Bagus You‘re early! Welcome to the decentralized social future! Things work w...
set an interview with him again in five years from now, when bitcoin is at 1milj$ 😉😁
Thank you! 🙏💐🫵🏽
FYI @Marty Bent 👆🏼
It seems he preliminarily touched bitcoin but does not fully get it, yet, so is a bit apprehensive. I think he just needs a few things cleared and he's be on fire about bitcoin.
@Vlad's interview with him shows that towards the end.
What's your assessment Vlad?
He invented QE and is "famous" for his research on the credit creation theory which he proofed by taking a loan at a german bank and audited the banking book an traced where the money came from (out of thin air).
