Many believe that Bitcoin is “just one of thousands of cryptoassets”—this is true in the same way that the number zero is just one of an infinite series of numbers. In reality, Bitcoin is special, and so is zero: each is an invention which led to a discovery that fundamentally reshaped its overarching system—for Bitcoin, that system is money, and for zero, it is mathematics. Since money and math are mankind’s two universal languages, both Bitcoin and zero are critical constructs for civilization.

In reality, Bitcoin is special, and so is zero: each is an invention which led to a discovery that fundamentally reshaped its overarching system—for Bitcoin, that system is money, and for zero, it is mathematics. Since money and math are mankind’s two universal languages, both Bitcoin and zero are critical constructs for civilization.

Stephan Kinsella joins me to continue our discussion about the book "A Theory of Socialism and Capitalism: Economics, Politics, and Ethics" by Hans-Hermann Hoppe. We discuss the impact of incentive schemes on productivity, the fake communism of the USSR, modern-day slavery, and why Bitcoin is the ultimate solution to centralization. Stephan Kinsella is an American intellectual property lawyer, author, and deontological anarcho-capitalist.// GUEST // Twitter: https://twitter.com/NSKinsella/ Website: https://www.stephankinsella.com/ Book: https://www.amazon.com/Theory-Socialism-Capitalism-Economics-Politics/dp/0898382793// SPONSORS // In Wolf's Clothing: https://wolfnyc.com/iCoin Hardware Wallet (use discount code BITCOIN23): https://www.icointechnology.com/CrowdHealth: https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/breedloveWasabi Wallet: https://wasabiwallet.io/Join Me At Bitcoin 2023 in Miami (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://b.tc/conference/Casa (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://keys.casa/Bitcoin Apparel (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://thebitcoinclothingcompany.com/ Feel Free Tonics (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://botanictonics.comCarnivore Bar (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://carnivorebar.com/// OUTLINE // 00:00:00 - Coming up 00:01:25 - Intro 00:02:59 - Helping Lightning Startups with In Wolf's Clothing 00:03:45 - A Theory of Socialism and Capitalism by Hans-Hermann Hoppe 00:03:59 - Historical Examples of Capitalist vs. Socialist Incentives 00:08:05 - The Fake Communism of the USSR 00:09:56 - The Impact of Incentive Schemes on Productivity 00:15:33 - Property Rights are the Key Incentives of a Productive Economy 00:19:42 - How Political Risk Influences Investments and Productivity 00:22:57 - Pros and Cons of International Treaties 00:26:02 - Bitcoin as a Neutral International Settlement Layer 00:28:13 - The Importance of Treaty Obligations and International Law 00:30:32 - Secure Your Bitcoin Stash with The iCoin Hardware Wallet 00:31:27 - Take Control of Your Healthcare with CrowdHealth 00:32:29 - A Bitcoin Wallet with Privacy Built-In: Wasabi Wallet 00:33:22 - Public vs. Private Means of Production 00:36:04 - Private Slavery vs. Public Slavery 00:38:48 - Modern-Day Slavery 00:44:03 - How to Remove the Shackles of Slavery 00:48:47 - The Natural Law vs. The Fake Law 00:51:46 - Every Law Should Have an Expiration Date 00:53:48 - A Chance to Win Discounted Tickets to the Bitcoin 2023 Conference and 10M SATS 00:54:43 - Hold Bitcoin in the Most Secure Custody Model with Casa 00:55:31 - Can We Return to the Common Law? 00:57:51 - The Case Against Democracy 00:58:54 - How did the U.S. Shift from a Constitutional Republic to a Democracy 01:06:56 - A Movement towards Centralization and Back to Decentralization 01:12:00 - The Case of The Abortion Law in the U.S. 01:13:40 - The Role of the Federal Reserve in Centralization 01:20:22 - Where to Find Stephan's Work // PODCAST //Podcast Website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/25LPvm8...RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/MLdpYXYI// SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL // Bitcoin: 3D1gfxKZKMtfWaD1bkwiR6JsDzu6e9bZQ7 Sats via Strike: https://strike.me/breedlove22Sats via Tippin.me: https://tippin.me/@Breedlove22Dollars via Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/RBreedloveDollars via Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Robert-Breedlove-2The "What is Money?"
