Summary

CJ Konstantinos joins me to discuss how Bitcoin transforms our understanding of money, why engineered scarcity beats commodity money, and how debt-based systems are driving us toward a global monetary reset. We explore Bitcoin as pristine collateral, the fight against the World Bank and IMF, the ethical failures of fiat incentives, and why Bitcoin adoption may ultimately restore ancient wisdom in a chaotic modern world. CJ Konstantinos is the founder of “People’s Reserve” which is revolutionizing finance by building around Bitcoin equity as the most pristine form of collateral in the world.
