Bitcoin as an Incorruptible System of Value with Jordan Peterson (WiM168)
The "What is Money?" Show
Penalizing Prudence
Inflation is a betrayal of precisely that which you least want to betray, he says. People who are high in trait conscientiousness tend to have conservative political leanings,. He adds: "Those are the people you punish like mad with inflation"
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson joins for me a special edition episode exploring the philosophic implications of Bitcoin as an incorruptible system of value. This episode was recorded in front a live studio audience on April 8th, 2022 during the Bitcoin 2022 Conference in Miami, FL.
