Episode description

#Bitcoin started as a libertarian revolt against central bank fiat currencies and value-detractive rent-seeking from credit card companies and banks for online payments processing.  Somewhere along the way, as BTC HODLers accumulated large amounts of theoretical wealth, in large part due to extremely low interest rates from The Federal Reserve, the tone shifted from opposition to begging for help to keep the BTC priced fluffed up. So much for revolution and decentralization as a core principle.

Join us as we dive into some of the myriad factors whipsawing equity, bond and foreign exchange markets, both fundamental and wholly illusory.   

Once you've heard us bash the living bejeebers out of "cryptocurrencies" backed by nothing but hot air, might we suggest as a palate cleanser that you check out CoinGeek's Bitcoin 101 free course offering? Click here to get a clear handle on this whole Bitcoin Thing: https://tpow.app/ebc70fcc
