Hi everybody, Cheryl Akison here. Welcome to another edition of Full Measure After Hours. Today, a rare

interview with professional investor Jeffrey Warnick about Bitcoin and his lack of confidence in the future

of the U.S. dollar and the centralized money system.

You might not have heard the name Jeffrey Wernick. He's pretty famous in his world, but he just

doesn't do many interviews. I'm lucky he agreed to do a second interview with me for full measure.

The first was about four to five years ago

when I was trying to better understand and explain Bitcoin. Wernick, who foresaw success and

invested early in Uber and Airbnb, now says he's devoted his life to ethical investments,

encouraging freedom, not censorship, and decentralization, which means

Bitcoin. On Sunday, February 23rd, on full measure, I'll have the interview with Jeffrey

Warnick, but you get to hear the whole thing today in this podcast. And as you'll hear, he talks about

a lot more than just Bitcoin because actually his thoughts on Bitcoin relate to a much more global view of the U.S. dollar, centralized monetary systems, and the economy.

Here's Jeffrey Warnick.

I think some people refer it to me as like an OG in the in the in the in the in the

Bitcoin space because I'm I'm I was an early adopter of Bitcoin.

I think some people several years ago when I used to well well, now it's been quite a few years ago,

since I used to, when I used to regularly speak at conferences, some people know me is that

for many people, even though I'm not the first person to say it, I might have been the first

person to repeat it frequently, is I would tell people if it's, if it's not Bitcoin, assume

it's a shit coin.

So I think I was one of the most, well, might be self-serving, but I think I was one of the most

principled advocate not only for Bitcoin, but the underlying principles of Bitcoin.
