Porkopolis Economics covers macroeconomics, money, and sports from the creator of the Crypto Voices podcast, Matthew Mezinskis.
Today, we fact-check the age-old (in Bitcoin terms!!) comparisons that have always been made between Bitcoin and PayPal. You need to simply understand that Bitcoin is basic money, and whatever is happening inside of PayPal, is not.
This is also my 100th episode of Porkopolis Economics! As discussed at the video start, please note that from now on these macro and chart-type videos will only continue on YouTube and Rumble.
Crypto Voices, our long-form podcast on Bitcoin and privacy with Alec from Halo Privacy and Michel from nodl, will continue to be streamed via the RSS feed as it has since 2017 (via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, etc.).
As always, thank you for watching, and listening!
