In this Nomad Capitalist Live 2024 interview, economist Saifedean Ammous, author of "The Bitcoin Standard," explains how Bitcoin, unlike the US dollar, appreciates in value over time and, hence, should be held by individuals, as well as governments.
Saifedean Ammous also shares his upbringing as a nomad and experiences living around the world. Additionally, he details how El Salvador's embrace of Bitcoin is transforming the Central American country and making it wealthy.

Bitcoin ₿ crashing is just a reminder that gravity always wins 📉, even in the crypto world 🌍 just as well I cashed out with a new crib in Dubai 🏡🌴🤑
Whoops today is January 15th and Bitcoin is over $100,000@@jp.jamesportman
Saifedean is a bright light. His family values are solid and I deeply respect that he protects them so vigilantly.
No wonder he loves Bitcoin.
Your Bitcoin Standard book made me solidified my understanding on BTC, holding my bitcoin even I had -30% drop. Will be supporting you more, buying more of your masterpiece books. Thank you Mr Saifedean. This is one insightful conversation.
holding my bitcoin even I had + 400% increase 🙂
The Fiat standard is even better imho
Im. Palestinian born jordan and now in nevada ...much respect to this gent
Much Love ❤️
It took me forever to convince my cautious husband and our 2 adult children to start investing in Bitcoin. I believe in it wholeheartedly. We have just a little over one bitcoin, so far.
Left up to me, we would buy more...I'm not giving up, bitcoin is the future.
your future already secured
That’s fantastic. I’m new but have a stake already. What platform do you use, pls? Coinbase charges such a big premium…. I am buying IBIT for now and will buy direct but you can’t buy fractional through Fidelity.
You don’t invest in Bitcoin… You save in it! Bitcoin is simply better money
@@RyanVoelkel Bitcoin may be used in a widely held, actively traded investment product that's common to many individual investors' portfolios.
What a great conversation! Saifedean is so incredibly bright!
Thank you for watching!
Does his PhD in the US but now they are the root of all evil.
Definitely eyes wide open brilliant man
Anything with Saifedean gets an automatic thumbs up.
I agree! Haha.
Thank you for giving this man the freedom to discuss the Palestinian struggle. Most channels wouldn't "dare". Kudos to you Andrew.
I wish I could get everyone I know to listen to Saifedean a little. They would be a lot smarter if they did.
Excellent conversation, learned a lot about Saifedean's views, his origin and family values, love it. Bitcoiners for some reason are very interesting people, definitely pushers, hence POW of course. Looking forward to meeting him in person some day.
Thank you. We're glad you enjoyed the conversation!
What a brilliant guest who actually knows very well what he is talking about. This man is also a humble and honorable person who is proud to be a Palestinian.
What a 🤡 all his resentment of the West just reveals inferiority complex. But yet, got quality education in the USA and made money 💰 with the western system. Now support terrorist and glorify brutality of Islamic Middle East. HYPOCRITE.
Thank you so much for bringing Mr. Ammous
Mr. Ammous seems like a man of great intelligence and integrity.
Saifedean never dissapoints 👍
His book “The Bitcoin Standard” will be arriving at my doorstep on Monday. I’m already sold on Bitcoin but now I want to know everything I need to know about it.
Thank you for the comment. We're glad you found the conversation with Saifedean Ammous to be so informative.

Well done 👏
Wish you great reading sessions ! Broken Money is also excellent
Lawrence Lepard will soon commercialize his book, can't wait
I read it 3 times :)
Well done. Your courage will pay off big!!!
Awesome.
This is an excellent interview! Great respect for these two very smart men sharing what they know about our world.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great interview. It's so refreshing to hear actual intelligent people talking about real life matters. Thank you!
i can listen to Saifedean talk all day. This is obviously a genius mind working, much like Saylor...
Great life-story. Tahnks for bringing this guest onboard.
Brilliant interview Andrew ❤, Brilliant guest ❤, thank you 😊
Amazing 👏
Saif is an inspiration.
What a 🤡 all his resentment of the West just reveals inferiority complex. But yet, got quality education in the USA and made money 💰 with the western system. Now support terrorist and glorify brutality of Islamic Middle East. HYPOCRITE.
Great interview. It's amazing to listen to an academic professor talk about important subjects in a very clear way. His Austrian economics training comes through in spades.
Saifedean!! What a great teacher!
Brilliant interview from the Nomad Capitalist with Saifedean. Very candid and honest outlook of the world at large and information you absolutely won’t get via the legacy/mainstream media today. 👌
Thank you for watching. We are glad you found the interview informative!
What a great conversation. Thanks, gentlemen!
Glad you enjoyed watching!
This is the best content I’ve heard since the Rogan Andreesen Interview.
What a perspective.
Dr Saifedean Ammous is so impressive as we all know having read his book: The Bitcoin Standard now to be accompanied by The Fiat Standard and Principles of Economics.
Yes, this sums it up: it is not about the tech, or safety, or democratization or efficiency; it is about getting rich quick
Wow, what a guest! Never heard about him before but gonna research into his work more now. Such a sharp mind!
Wonderful information rich interview. Saifedean is perfectly frank and makes a great case for emigration out of a 'legacy' economy to a place where labour, ideas and innovation are rewarded
Wow! If this does not wake some sleepers up then not much will. The pot is starting to boil!
Its coming and better first than last
Bitcoin is six figures, it’s been boiling. Do not wait it will not.
It's simple! When everybody makes money, we all live in peace.
Bitcoin promises riches without work. The government should put one Bitcoin a month in our bank account!
No . Bitcoin is a profe of work nothing is free. But if you work hard then if you have balls you pay for Bitcoin then its free ... its simple if you do the homework @darwel007
Short term invest buy or no Bitcoin
@@darwel007thats impossible.. it's a trap
Thank you for such an informative interview
You are welcome!
Brilliant interview, Saifedean is great, thank you!👍
Thank you. We're glad you enjoyed it!
Two of my favourite people! Really appreciate this video.
Thank you! We're happy you appreciate the conversation.
I really like this man!
Anywhere Middle East seems unsafe but I get your moral reasons. No schools teaching idiocracy garbage to your kids is compelling! We who are moral in the West, may have to do some hard thinking on what environment we want our kids raised in.
America has excellent private schools if you can afford it. I don’t want my kids going to school in other countries where it’s one religion and everyone looks alike.
I just purchased ALL of Saif's books.
Great interview. I highly recommend to other viewers here to read his books; start with bitcoin standard and fiat standard.
Thanks for watching!
Phenomenal books
Great interview from a person who lived across the globe.
well, that's a hell of an intro! curious for the rest..
I really enjoy and respect your channel. I like that you have interesting, intelligent guests with good values who have common sense and make lifestyle and financial choices a ccordingly. I also see, by the quality of the thoughtful comments that you have an intelligent audience. Thanks very much for the consistent brilliant content. Keep up the good work!😊
Thank you for the kind words.
Saif is THE most clear-eyed political scientist / economist / philosopher / carnivore very possibly in the entire world. 🎯🎯
Incorrect Balaji Srinivasan but Saif is close. What Balaji is saying about national states deserves a medal.
A very enjoyable conversation. A sharp, insightful guest. I bought his book before the video was over.
Guys got great values for sure. Also excellent teacher . Thanks for the interview cheers 🥂
You're welcome. We're glad you enjoyed the conversation!
Well a reminder to reread the Bitcoin Standard. SA is the best on Bitcoin with Saylor.🙏 for this brilliant conversation.
That man is a legend. Great interview, great questions!
Thank you very much!
Great Interview and Guest. Many things to learn. Saifedean puts many things in their proper place and perspective beyond what many people are capable of. Bravo!
Thank you for the compliment. We're glad you learned a lot from the conversation!
He is a "palestinian" ??? what ???? he is from NOWHERE then.... "American media" your AXXXX ! most american media is left or far left anti-Israel. This guy defends terrorism. It is that simple. The guy is an asslicker of women beaters, censorship, brutality, islam forcing you to follow their insanity, corruption and terrorism. Please stop insulting our intelligence !!!
What a man Saif is 👏
Saifadean Ammous is a global treasure.
Excellent interview. I will be following your guest and checking out his books. 👍🏿💯
Legendary guest.
Thank you for tuning in.
“Tax slaves to be sheered, or your most important asset to be invested in”
Yes, L.A. was fabulous in the 80s. I was shocked to go back to Santa Monica and see what it’s become
Great interview. More of Mr Ammous please.
Brilliant episode
Yet again Saifedean is bang on
Thank you Andrew for being always fair .. Digital Nomad is the best … shout out from Saudi Arabia / RIYADH 😢🎉😮🎉😅😂😅
Thank you for your compliment.
As a Venezuelan married to a Cuban, it is funny to hear someone refer to Canada as communist. It removes, at least for me, a lot of credit from this guy. But, it was a good interview.
Amazing insight to global views and political polarisation between east west.
Very inspiring outlook for El salvador and it citizens. I'm intrigued to visit.
Great interview 👌
Is this about Bitcoin or Visas??
My niece is 40. When she was in US sixth grade, school changes were made that my sister and brother in law did not like. My sister was volunteering in the school and still couldn't make headway with the school. She called the school about something and was told that once my niece got on the bus, she became school property and my sister and brother in law had no say. The Monday before Thanksgiving, my sister marched down to the school, took my niece out of class and home schooled her for the rest of the school year. My nephew was already in private school. My sister was already watching a neighbor's girl enrolled in that same private school, same grade as my niece. My niece went to that private school for at least seventh grade.
My nephew was back in public school for high school. My sister was told that the regimen in place during my niece's sixth grade year was gone. The regimen!
Won't someone think of the regimen! The regimen!
Brilliant interview
Wow! I am speechless! I wouldn't have guess such things could have been said in this channel! Great interview!
Glad you enjoyed watching!
Thank you
About time you had a decent guest on! Saif is a truth sayer.
Wow. Saife on NC 😮
Bitcoin is everything... currency... pasive earnings... savings... Working with our brains... QUESTION: in the future, if everybody have bitcoins, who will do the hard job... farming, fishing, manufacturing... etc, etc... Scary Incertainty.
I really liked when he said Canada is a comunist country 😂😂😂 (he's totally right)
Love love this interview- please have him back!

So hyped for Adaxum! This is definitely going to be one of the best projects of 2024.
Very good interview. The only other asset that I think competes with bitcoin as far as performance is concerned, is Tesla stock.
How do you use your bitcoin to buy and sell?
I used Bitcoin to order my testosterone medication at a major discount from what I would have paid at any US pharmacy.
The transaction cost me about 85 cents.
Detroit an amazing city full of history currently on the rise again. Don't hate on us! Love the show I watch almost everything you put out. I have referred many friend to your company and value this service.
Thank you very much for being a loyal viewer and for referring us to friends! We do appreciate the Midwest work ethic, and we're happy to work with 7- and 8-figure entrepreneurs and investors-including those from Detroit-who want to go where they're treated best:) nomadcapitalist.com/apply
I also have big problems with living in the US. I prefer Switzerland.....
Grabbed a bunch of Adaxum tokens today. Can’t wait to watch this one take off!
Phenomenal interview!
Thank you. We’re glad you really enjoyed the conversation!
Nomad every time Step Finance pumps, I’m sitting here like wow fr 💥
What about XRP?
And XLM
Great guest and great conversation!
Thank you!
Thank you for the compliment. We're glad you enjoyed the conversation!
I’m in Canada. Healthcare is shocking at times, really on a downward trend. Great interview Andrew!
Great interview! 🎉 I am learning stuff.
Thank you. We're glad to hear that!
I am trying to understand one thing. Government and large fund acquisition of Bitcoin will presumably take us close to the point of there being no available Bitcoin left. Is that a correct assumption? So how do we reconcile that with the future longevity of Bitcoin? Presumably, people who have it will not want to part with it. Could you please comment on that?
Everyone has a selling point and Bitcoin is divisible up to 8-9 decimals so you can small fractions. Saif has a presentation in Vienna Austria watch that twice. You’ll know enough
A globally diversified set of *compounding* assets is the easiest way. There is high variability in the bitcoin narrative. Compounding is a mathematical force with incredible power.
Great interview
Hey Nomad Capitalist, I want to move to Hawaii, USA from Canada and I was wondering how you would get citizenship and open a business or start working there. Thank you so much!!

Great content thanks.

FIX THE MONEY , FIX THE WORLD
Well done interview! Thank you for this conversation.
You’re welcome. We’re glad you enjoyed the conversation!
You fail to mention how they are educating their youth to understand BTC!!! How it can improve the economic progress for future generations 👏
تنور الامارات يا دكتور 👃❤️🎉
"We were there, and we just decided... Communism it not for us" Best quote to describe current state of Canada 🤣
GOAT!
