Basecamp for Men E259: Bitcoin is The Way

E259: Bitcoin is The Way with Special Guest Caribou

 

E259 Introduction

What a time to be alive! There seems to be a sea change happening. A change in the tide, can you feel it? I was at a couple of events recently and a number of people came up to me and said that, since Trump’s re-election, they are feeling a sense of optimism, something that has been missing for a long time for most Americans.

Americans are known for their optimism and when that is missing, something essential gets lost. For me, I see our optimism, playfulness, and sense of excitement as a sort of super-power. The systems we have lived under (they are really the systems of the Globalists not WE THE PEOPLE) have created this sort of quiet desperation in people.

In the current fiat system, things will keep getting more expensive FOREVER. Think about that. No wonder people look so fried. Nobody can keep up.

The antidote is Bitcoin. On a Bitcoin Standard, everthing that you need in life will continually get cheaper in life, forever. We seem to be at an inflection point with the re-electon of President Trump. There is a confluence of Orange Man with Orange Coin and people are excited once again by the possibilities that are before us.

And people are starting to realize that Bitcoin, this strange, wonderful, pro-humanity, technology is not just a new money but sits at the center of a full frontal assault on the corrupt Globalist fiat system we all grew up with. Better days are ahead of us Basecampers. It is happening and it is happening FAST.

I wish you all Godspeed on this one Basecampers. Enjoy this excellent interview.

E259 Final Thoughts

I hope you enjoyed that interview as much as I did. What a bright, clear thinker he is. Really loved that. There a revolution afoot and it centers around Bitcoin. If ever there was something to roll up your sleeves and understand, it is this. Thank you Basecampers and we’ll see you around the fire next week.

 

Basecamp for Men E194: Bitcoin and Proof of Work

E194: Bitcoin and Proof of Work with Special Guest John Haar

 

E194 Introduction

Today is a bit longer of an interview so I want to get right to it. What sorts of possibilities does Bitcoin and sound money present to humanity? I think that many people probably lump in Bitcoin with the rest of the Crypto space, not understanding the differences and thinking it was a flash in the pan and they didn’t need to take time to truly learn and start to understand it.

Bitcoin represents something that we have not seen. A sound form of money that is incorruptible, transparent, and whose value is derived from its fixed supply-21 million. As in there will only EVER be 21 million BTC.

Juxtaposed next to the systemic corruption of the fiat system, where central banks constantly debase our money by printing more and more of it. The more they print, the less your dollar is worth, which naturally leads to inflation and ultimately hyper-inflation.

And Bitcoin is getting closer to its big moment as presidential hopeful Robert Kennedy Jr. comes out in favor of it and even buys 2 BTC for each of his seven children. How cool is that. I don’t know if Kennedy will win the democratic nomination (there are powerful, corrupt forces that do not want him to win) but I love where he is going with this.

Today my guest and I talk far and wide about Bitcoin and also introduced the concept of Proof of Work and what that means for you and I. Enjoy the interview.
