I’m an American millennial. I don’t plan to ever receive $1 of benefit from my government.

Ford knew that if people understood the raw deal they’re getting from money they would tear down the system and build a better one. We already have a better one. No need for a revolution. We just need everyone to understand how badly they’re getting screwed and by whom. Ep. 11 of Love & Hard Money is a ground floor lesson on what’s wrong with the dollar and how Bitcoin responds.

In my business, everyone wants to talk about tariffs because we are the businesses who pay them directly. But no one wants to talk about the inflation baked into the dollar and fiat more broadly.
