Bitcoin is the first money to defend liberty | Daren Epstein | BFM102
Daren Epstein is the Producer of the forthcoming The American Exile Podcast, which focuses on spreading the word of individual liberty in an age of tyranny. Although he spent 36 years in the Department of Defense, he has come to the conclusion that War is a Racket, and that the U.S. military-industrial complex is the greatest threat to American liberty, along with endless money printing and a debasing of the U.S. dollar.
