Deep dives

The Problem of Money and Inflation

Inflation is framed as a form of legal counterfeiting perpetrated by central banks, fundamentally distorting the value of currency. The discussion emphasizes that the issues surrounding fiat money have disconnected the representation of money from the actual economic goods it should reflect, leading to misleading economic maps. In this context, Bitcoin emerges as a solution that corrects this misalignment by providing a fixed supply asset that cannot be manipulated. This framework suggests that fixing the system of money, specifically through Bitcoin, has the potential to restore trust and fairness in economic transactions.
