This discussion breaks down The Fiat Standard by Saifedean Ammous — a powerful critique of today’s fiat money system. The book explores how the move away from gold to government-issued currency has distorted incentives, fueled debt, and created a “war on savings.” It shows how fiat money reshapes society—affecting food, education, science, and energy—while giving governments unchecked power through money printing.Ammous argues that Bitcoin offers a hard-money alternative, restoring sound monetary principles and promoting long-term prosperity.#Bitcoin #TheFiatStandard #SoundMoney #SaifedeanAmmous
