Nic Carter is a Bitcoiner with a financial and philosophical background. I wanted to have him on the show for a long time. He is thoughtful and interesting to talk to as you will hear. We touch on some of his favourite topics like Bitcoin metaphysics, crypto-dollarization, historical references to free banking and the future of privacy and surveillance in the digital era.“Bitcoin is no one’s liability. There’s no one that guarantees the value of that Bitcoin. People say that’s a weakness. That’s actually a strength. That means there’s no situation where the backer of that Bitcoin could withdraw their backing. The backing of Bitcoin comes from the fact that the market, as this collective view, the Bitcoin is worth whatever it’s worth. I would put Bitcoin in the category of liability-free collateral. Which is similar to gold or another monetary commodity.” – Nic CarterTopics:His personal Bitcoin storyBitcoin metaphysicsThe genuine Bitcoin?Consciousness and persistenceCash and Bitcoin privacyThe global financial surveillance apparatus created by the USCrypto-Dollarization and stablecoinsTether and bitcoin backed stablecoinsScottish free banking systemReprivatisation of the issuance of moneyScottish poundKraken Financial a chartered bank in WyomingProof-of-Reserves, full reserve bankSubscribe to my weekly newsletter to (L)earn Bitcoin - it’s free: https://anita.link/weekly
