  • In this episode Saifedean talks to writer and head of business development at Unchained Capital Parker Lewis about his Gradually, Then Suddenly series. They start by discussing Parker’s career in traditional finance during the 2008 financial crisis, and how discovering Austrian economics and bitcoin helped him to truly understand the workings of global finance. They then talk about the arguments of some of Parker’s well-known articles on topics ranging from why bitcoin can’t be copied to why bitcoin isn’t too volatile to why bitcoin can’t be banned. In the Q&A Parker discusses rumours that he will run for mayor of Austin and whether hyperbitcoinization will lead to US dollar inflation.

    56:57 - 58:15 described the typical progression of myself and other HODLers. I literally LOLed hard.
    Bitcoin's aphorism, "Don't trust, verify" has helped in leading me to find the truth in nutrition (LCHF + prolonged fasts), health, exercise, gov subsidies of corn and wheat, the scam of pharmaceutical industrial complex, the scam of universities, etc.

Patri friedman from seasteading would be cool too or both of them together. Would like to hear some more guests relevant to building citadels or otherwise creating jurisdictions where free market principles under a bitcoin standard can unfold. Also would be nice to have some jurisdictions where the people critical of covid policy, and people giving liberty a higher priority in general, can live together peacefully. How do you think liberty loving libertarian types could create jurisdictions? What is the way forward for freedom minded individuals?
