I am behind on the past few @WhatisMoneyShow episode announcements, and since we have been releasing some absolute bangers, here is a quick thread on our recent releases: Whitney Webb (@_whitneywebb) is a professional writer, researcher, journalist, and host of an independent podcast called Unlimited Hangout. We discuss deep state power, Jeffrey Epstein's case, and corruption at the highest levels.

Extremely excited to announce the release of The Platonic Philosophy Series today on The @WhatisMoneyShow! The eminent philosopher @vervaeke_john joins me for a 10-hour conversation on the masterful book "Plato's Critique of Impure Reason."

Quick thread outlining each episode⬇️ Episode 1 "A Logic of Violence" explores the way is which sophistic relativism inevitably descends into violence, and why a proper relationship with the absolute is necessary for live well-lived.

In another binge-style release, I am excited to announce The Balaji Series episodes 1 - 7 are now live on The @WhatisMoneyShow !!

In this insight-packed conversation, @balajis and I explore sovereignty in The Digital Age, geopolitics, #Bitcoin, and more.

A #Bitcoin masterpiece has been written by @johnkvallis, and Sunday is the perfect day to immerse yourself in this beautiful work of art...

"Money Messiah" uncovers the consequences of corrupt money better than anything I've ever read.

Quick thread⬇️:

johnkvallis.substack.com/p/money-messia… One of the most profound lessons the study of #Bitcoin, money, and economics will teach you is that the materialist perspective is incomplete. For humans, motivational significance matters more than any substantive reality...

Finally releasing episode 1 of what may prove to be one of the most profound series ever produced on The @WhatisMoneyShow...

Join Mike Hill and I as we dive deep into Robert Pirsig's excellent book "Lila: An Inquiry into Morals."

In this under-appreciated book, Pirsig proposes an alternative to subject-object metaphysics which he calls the Metaphysics of Quality. In this view, reality is composed of distinct patterns of value, not substance.

Here is the podcast version of ep 1: whatismoneypodcast.com/episodes/the-u…

Here is the most painful piece I have ever written: "Sovereignism Part 8: Everywhere and Nowhere" exploring market dynamics, the nature of fiat, #Bitcoin, and the mass-psychosis of totalitarianism.

breedlove22.substack.com/p/sovereignism…

Quick thread of a few excerpts from this written work⬇️ "Humans not only trade goods, and the ideas on which they are based, but they also imitate one another’s actions in waves of mimetic exchange—imitative patterns of action directly responsible for the development and propagation of ritual, culture, and social institutions."

"The Purges Have Begun with Jeffrey A. Tucker (WiM089)" is now live on The @WhatisMoneyShow !!

@jeffreyatucker joins me for an enlightening conversation on the precious nature of human freedom, and the fight for it in the world today.

"WiM070 - The Hillebrand Series | Episode 11 | The Moral Status of Statism" is now live on The @WhatisMoneyShow !!

@HillebrandMax and I dive deeper into libertarianism, this time exploring the morality of citizenship, state relations, #Bitcoin, and war.

Hey @elonmusk:

In 1900, Nikola Tesla envisaged "a principled machine" as the end of war. Today, that machine is #Bitcoin

“...a machine embodying a higher principle, which will enable it to perform its duties as though it had intelligence, experience, judgement, a mind!” The difficulty adjustment of #Bitcoin makes it the world’s first “intelligent” money: it forever shifts the game of property into digital space, and makes the battle of establishing consensus on ownership “a mere spectacle, a play, a contest without loss of blood.”

Thread in response to @jordanbpeterson's inquiry about @profplum99's recently published disparagement of #Bitcoin and Bitcoiners.

https://twitter.com/jordanbpeterson/status/1395376501940445186

CLAIM: “Namely, that our inevitable flaws, including our lack of perfect foresight, require guardrails to reduce the risk of unintended consequences, like, for example, speculation in “low-risk” mortgages that drove a global financial crisis.”

Private property rights can equally be called private property responsibilities. A proprietor is incentivized to take responsibility for the assets he owns to maximize the usefulness and longevity of the rights they bestow upon him. "Give a man the secure possession of a bleak rock and watch him turn it into a garden.

Give a man a 9-year lease on a garden and watch him convert it into a desert.

The magic of property turns sand into gold."

New writing up on my Medium page:

Sovereignism Part 2: #Bitcoin, The Ultimate Offshore Bank

breedlove22.medium.com/sovereignism-p… International waters have historically been the greatest geographic safe haven from nation-states. Gamblers, pirates, smugglers, and other sinners seeking to engage in state-condemned activities willingly make use of this ungovernable territory.

A thread summarizing "Sovereignism Part 1: Digital Creative Destruction"

My 12-part essay series explores the digital disrup­tion of the nation-state and the subse­quent amplification of individual sover­eignty during the digital age.

swanbitcoin.com/sovereignism-p…

Let's dive in ⬇️ Statism is a system of socioe­co­nomic organi­za­tion which origi­nated in the Indus­trial Age. Statism includes all state imple­men­ta­tions of capitalism, commu­nism, fascism, and all other state ‑isms; it does not refer to these ideolo­gies in any pure sense.

Every law, every social norm, every civil liberty, every human right, every culture: the authority and longevity of socioeconomic order itself is shaped by the one true (meaning, free market selected) sovereignty system active in the world today—gold. Gold remains the singular dominant money in the world. In the unregulated geopolitical sphere, nation-states go to war over it, fund war with it, and the victors write new laws.

A quick thread walking through some of my latest piece "Our Most Brilliant Idea" where I explore the nature of ideas, their generative source, and (of course) #Bitcoin

swanbitcoin.com/our-most-brill… Ideas are the origins of everything we say, do, or make. The purpose of any economy is to generate and share useful ideas through free trade (to achieve what economists call the division of labor or knowledge specialization).

MMT is a lie. #Bitcoin is the truth.

An honest thread about a dishonest thread from @StephanieKelton

https://twitter.com/StephanieKelton/status/1321180774675238912?s=20

A deficit occurs when any organization—a family, a company, or a government—generates expenses that exceeds its revenues.

Most call this a "net loss," but for governments it is typically called a deficit.

But how can the US government continually spend more than it earns?

1/22. In the spirit of independence day weekend, I just published my latest writing: “Masters and Slaves of Money" where we explore why central banking is an institution of time-theft and #Bitcoin is a weapon for peace.

medium.com/@breedlove22/m… 2. In 1776, the US declared its independence from England. For years, the decentralized state network resisted the implementation of a central bank, knowing the evils it had caused in eras past. Today with Bitcoin, people globally are declaring their independence from The Fed.

When fiat currency dies, conditions tend toward deflation first (since money becomes more valuable when uncertainty looms), before becoming increasingly inflationary and, finally, hyperinflationary. #Bitcoin was purpose-built for this.

A thread on my current macro view on USD: Economic uncertainty is extremely high. Market participants are stashing dollars to self-insure against this uncertainty. Consumers are delaying discretionary and major purchases.

Many people have asked me to share the notes from my appearance on the @APompliano podcast where we discussed "An Open Letter to @RayDalio re: #Bitcoin"

This thread is a distillation of those notes, let's begin⏬

medium.com/@breedlove22/a… Everything we say, do, or make starts out as an idea. The purpose of the world economy is to generate and share useful ideas through trade. As we trade, our ideas become better, giving everything we say, do, or make more specialized qualities

@RayDalio recently published the second chapter in his series “The Changing World Order.” Chapter 2 is titled “Money, Credit, and Debt” and explains these concepts in some depth.

In this thread, we will go deeper on these explanations. Let’s dive in:

linkedin.com/pulse/money-cr… Ray starts: “All countries can print money to give to people to spend or to lend it out. However, not all money that governments print is of equal value.”

It is important to first realize, that all government currencies began as warehouse receipts for monetary metals.
