Eric Yakes joins me to explore the dimensions of money, the consolidation of centralized fiat power, and why Bitcoin is the antidote to our corrupted financial and academic institutions. We discuss the morality embedded in Bitcoin’s design, why evolution is nature’s version of free market innovation, the physics of sound money, the addiction of money printing, how Bitcoin unlocks a global energy bounty, and the connection between Bitcoin, wisdom, religion, and tradition. Eric Yakes is the Founder and Managing Partner at Epoch VC, a Bitcoin venture capital firm.
