SHOW NOTES: https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/the-hidden-cost-of-money “It doesn’t matter, in any of these nation states, who you vote for; ultimately, I think until we actually re-align the incentives in society by separating money and state we will not have a system that actually supports the individual.” — Seb Bunney Seb Bunney is the co-founder of Looking Glass Education and author of The Hidden Cost of Money. In this interview, we discuss what money is, the effect that broken money has on society, fiat incentives and how Bitcoin fixes this.
