Property Rights, Capitalism, and Bitcoin with Saifedean Ammous

In this episode, Nik is joined by author Saifedean Ammous for a masterclass on economics. Saifedean teaches us about the importance of property rights in a capitalistic system and why anti-capitalist rhetoric can be so dangerous. He also explains the role of bitcoin, allowing people to properly save instead of consume. Limited government, taxes, and privately-funded infrastructure are also discussed.
