TIP259: What Bitcoin Solves - w/ Dr. Saifedean Ammous

On today's show, we talk to leading Bitcoin expert, Dr. Saifedean Ammous about how Bitcoin works and what problems it attempts to solve. Dr. Ammous is the author of the Bitcoin Standard.

• Why the adoption of a deflationary currency like Bitcoin will encourage people to think long term and invest more
• Why the clearance mechanisms of central banks will ensure the fiat currency system’s survival
• Why profitable bitcoin mining in the future won’t be using fossil fuels
