This is my favorite interview I've done with @Lyn Alden. We cover her new book, Broken Money, on a deeper but easy to understand level, focusing on themes I didn't hear covered in other recent interviews.
Topics we discuss:
• Are we in the Fourth Turning?
• Why are workers making 300x less than CEOs today?
• How did wealth inequality and living standards in the era of 'free banking' compare to the wealth inquality we see under central banking? Is QE to blame?
• Could U.S. losing reserve currency status be a good thing?
• Will there be credit on a #Bitcoin standard?
• Are there any good ideas in #crypto?
• Macro and market update for fall 2023

Everyone has a story.
A few weeks ago I put out a call for people around the world willing to share their #Bitcoin stories. I was surprised by the amount of responses! Starting today I will be sharing at least one of them each month on my show.
In this month's Bitcoin story, meet Marc Mantini (@ScartownSparks on X) who recently moved with his wife to #Bitcoin Island in the #Philippines to live on the Bitcoin Standard. He first learned about BTC in 2016 and is passionate about the mission to protect personal and economic freedom. Marc is a former government worker from Toronto, Canada who was terminated over mandates -- but he successfully fought back against the system. He is a freedom fighter who is now working on a grassroots level to help the people on Boracay Island adopt Bitcoin. Say hello to him if you can!
