Luke Broyles: When Bitcoin price gets to millions it will spell END of the US DOLLAR
Bitcoin price scarier going up than down, here’s why…
Understanding why Bitcoin is priced in fiat dollars BUT won’t be forever.
Luke Broyles: When Bitcoin price gets to millions it will spell END of the US DOLLAR
Summary
Luke Broyles and I sit down to discuss some hard hitting topics that confuse the average person and why it causes slow adoption that even bitcoiners don’t like to admit they are guilty of.
We talk about why people resonate with his writing and videos so much and even toward the end we get in to some topics that are down the rabbit hole but have to make you sit back and do some deep thinking borne from the need to detach human depravity from the monetary supply.
Of course we talk about bitcoin simultaneously being the solution and not being the solution as well as what happens when dollars don’t exist anymore. We also explore the different perspectives on Bitcoin as property or currency, particularly in relation to @Saylor versus @excellion views.

James Lavish: Wall Street "WALL OF MONEY" hasn't started in to Bitcoin, here's what happens
James Lavish: Wall Street "WALL OF MONEY" hasn't started in to Bitcoin, here's what happens
Another playable character graced us with their time..
Playable Characters Show Ep038
Summary
I sit down with James Lavish as he discusses the impact of Bitcoin ETFs, and the WALL of MONEY that hasn’t even trickled in yet, job losses and economic realities, and the 40-year trend of interest rates. The conversation covers the potential endgame of the current financial system, the possibility of war, the path to dollar devaluation, the unsustainability of the current fiscal path, the inevitability of the US dollar going away, the limited options to address the debt crisis, the state of treasury auctions, the challenges of treasury auctions, the role of social media in spreading information.
