Why Families Pay the Price for a Broken Monetary System—and How Bitcoin Changes That

What if the money your family depends on is quietly working against you? In this episode of The Web3 Prof Podcast, Seb Bunny, author of The Hidden Cost of Money, joins us to unpack how modern monetary systems create invisible burdens on families—eroding savings, inflating debt, and reshaping how we plan for the future.

We explore how inflation and policy decisions impact everyday financial choices, from mortgages to education, and how Bitcoin could shift the way families think about saving, inheritance, and intergenerational wealth. Seb also shares insights from global families navigating monetary instability and what those lessons mean for households in developed economies.
