Only you can move your left arm. There's no argument that I can formulate that says, no, I have some claim over your left arm and the actions that it takes.

Yet we have that implemented in this system that can violate property rights. If I can violate your property rights, I'm effectively saying your self-ownership is limited and that I have a higher claim on your life than you do.

This is the rotten core at the heart of modern statism. We call it capitalism, but it's not.

It's state marginalized capitalism with a communistic institution at its core called the central bank.

If I can just become a shareholder to a central bank, I now have a share in a company that bears perpetual profits to me.

I don't have to work. My incentives to work and satisfy the wants of market actors is diminished.

And so I think it's evil.

I do think central banking is evil.

I'm not even saying that the institution was set out without intent.

I'm just saying that mechanically, it becomes the invariant to human action

that causes strategies to be adapted to getting as close to the

fiat currency spigot as possible versus being an entrepreneur. It's anti-entrepreneurial. Entrepreneurs are

the hero of the marketplace. We either create something of value to others and we succeed, or even

when we don't succeed as entrepreneurs, our failure benefits the marketplace.

It's information feedback into the hierarchy of human organization.

And central banking.

Glad to be here, Tom. Thank you for having me.

I am very excited to have you, and I have recently gone way down the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency

rabbit hole. You come up early and often when somebody does that exploration.

And I feel like I have a, I felt like I had a very intuitive understanding of what money

is.
