Episode notes
Early Revelation From Jekyll Island
- Robert Breedlove discovered The Creature from Jekyll Island as a young reader and that book framed his view on monetary corruption.
- That realization haunted him through college and shaped his career choices toward economics and finance.

- Central planning of money makes half of market activity effectively socialist because money is half of every transaction.
- If money is centrally planned, price signals and calculation cannot function properly across the economy.
From Ethereum Research To Bitcoin Maximalism
- Breedlove first explored smart contracts and Ethereum in 2016–2017 and ran crypto funds during the 2017 boom.
- That hands-on exposure gradually converted him into a Bitcoin maximalist.
