In this episode, Jeff and Patrick continue their conversation that began in 2022 about the current financial system, the decentralization and security of Bitcoin, ways to protect our capital and store value, plus the unlearning that may be required to do so. Jeff shares some digestible, simple concepts around Bitcoin, its perceived transactional inability, inflation (money manipulation), and the deflationary nature of technology. Jeff’s optimism for the future includes a call to curiousity, and encouragement to open our minds and our hearts and move our time and energy into learning about the new system, the optimism therein, and the connection it creates.
