Summary

My guest today is Robert Breedlove, a Bitcoin-focused entrepreneur, writer, and philosopher. He was particularly inspired by Austrian economics and the teachings of Jordan Peterson, which helped him reconcile his purely objective outlook on reality with its more subjective dimensions of valuation, morality, and meaning. Robert considers himself a Freedom Maximalist and believes he has found his life’s work in the Bitcoin space as a contributor to the separation of money and state.

The topic is his book Thank God for Bitcoin: The Creation, Corruption and Redemption of Money.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

Bitcoin Definition
Bitcoin Vs. Gold
Violation of Property Rights
Monopoly on Violence
Monetary System
Real Estate Assets
