| 0:00.0 | This rip of TFTC was brought to you by River. |
| 0:07.5 | It's the best place to buy Bitcoin. |
| 0:09.7 | Go to river.com slash TFTC and enjoy this episode. You've had a dynamic where money has become freer than free. |
| 0:24.7 | If you talk about a Fed just gone nuts, all the central banks going nuts. |
| 0:30.3 | So it's all acting like safe haven. |
| 0:32.5 | I believe that in a world where central bankers are tripping over themselves to devalue their currency, |
| 0:38.5 | Bitcoin wins. In the world of fiat currencies, Bitcoin is the victor. |
| 0:43.3 | I mean, that's part of the bold case for Bitcoin. |
| 0:45.9 | If you're not paying attention, you probably should be. |
| 0:50.8 | Freaks, I'd like to introduce you to Mel Madison, author of the book Quas, here to talk about the, I don't know if it's a dollar end game, the Fiat end game, but something that has been talked about for quite some time, which is the fact that the global financial system is likely system systemically fragile and has a bunch of built-up |

| 1:52.4 | Sure. And thanks for having me on. I appreciate it. My background is completely in financial services for the last 20 years. I've worked for some larger established asset managers like |
| 1:59.9 | Russell investments out of Seattle as well as venture |
| 2:03.6 | capital backed firms. One of them United Capital was sold to Goldman Sachs in 2019, some other |
| 2:12.5 | smaller fintech startups out of Amsterdam, Tel Aviv, Palo Alto, different places. And I've served as the |
| 2:20.3 | CEO of three different FINRA, SEC registered broker dealers. So a lot of my background really is |
| 2:27.1 | just understanding the financial plumbing of the way the international markets work. I have an MBA |
| 2:33.2 | with a focus on investment in corporate finance from Duke University. |
