I don't think that the success of Bitcoin depends on the failure of the current system.

So while like this whole journey through Twilight of Gold has been amazing for my education

and has been amazing for my conviction, you don't really need to know all of this and nothing

I've said needs to be true for Bitcoin to win. And this whole 100-year history

isn't a prerequisite for Bitcoin to win.

Hey, everybody. Welcome to the What is Money Show. I am thrilled to have you here joining me on my mission to help shine light on the collection of money.

Now, if this is your first time listening to The What Is Money Show, I strongly recommend that you go back to episodes one through nine first, which lays a lot of the groundwork for many of the

concepts that we explore on the show. These first nine episodes are my series with Michael Saylor,

and thousands of people have told me that this is the best podcast series they've ever heard,

hands down, and that it was instrumental to their understanding of money and Bitcoin.

So if you're looking to start a deep dive into the nature of money, I don't think there's any place better that you can start other than episode one of this show.

Now, a little bit about this show and how it makes money.

What is Money Show is 100% sponsor based.

So all of our revenues are derived from

direct sponsorships. And I strive to be very selective about the sponsors that I work with,

specifically only using sponsors that I use personally and also choosing sponsors that have values

which are well aligned to the values expressed on this show, such as freedom,

education, self-sovereignty, etc.

So what I'm going to do now is a few ad reads right at the top of the show and I'll do a few more ad reads in the middle.

And I hope you'll take the time to listen to them, as again, these are hand-selected sponsors,

and I think you'll like what they have to offer.

Today's podcast is brought to you by In Wolf's Clothing.
