The Issue With the Legacy Financial System & How BITCOIN Fixes All of It | Saifedean Ammous (Replay)

The meteoric rise of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies over the past years just goes to show that even something as ubiquitous as money is ripe for disruption.
And even though crypto is a space that many of us are just beginning to understand, its principles call into question the validity of the existing fiat monetary system.
In his latest book, The Fiat Standard: The Debt Slavery Alternative to Human Civilization, Dr. Saifedean Ammous sets out to do just that.
Using the first principles thinking that he used to write his bestselling book, The Bitcoin Standard, Dr. Ammous analyzes the history of fiat currency, the shift away from the gold standard, and the economic, social and political fallout that came as a result.
