The mass murder campaigns that the state has engaged in between the world wars, the cold wars, the proxy wars, that alone should make us suspicious of, are these the people who are really keeping us safe and stopping us from Thomas Hobbs's nasty, brutish, and short life?

Or are they causing far more than they claim to protect us from?

Hey, everybody. Welcome to The What is Money Show. I am thrilled to have you here joining me on my mission to help shine light on the corruption of money.

Now, if this is your first time listening to The What Is Money Show, I strongly recommend that you go back to episodes

one through nine first, which lays a lot of the groundwork for many of the concepts that we explore

on the show. These first nine episodes are my series with Michael Saylor, and thousands of people have told me that this is the best podcast series they've ever heard, hands down, and that it was instrumental to their understanding of money and Bitcoin.

So if you're looking to start a deep dive into the nature of money, I don't think there's any place better that you can start

other than episode one of this show.

Now, a little bit about this show

and how it makes money.

What is Money Show is 100% sponsor-based.

So all of our revenues are derived from direct sponsorships.

And I strive to be very selective

about the sponsors that I work with, specifically only using

sponsors that I use personally, and also choosing sponsors that have values, which are well aligned

to the values expressed on this show, such as freedom, education, self-sovereignty, et cetera.

So what I'm going to do now is a few ad reads right at the top of the show

and I'll do a few more ad reads in the middle. And I hope you'll take the time to listen to them.

As again, these are hands-selected sponsors and I think you'll like what they have to offer.

Today's podcast is brought to you by in Wolf's clothing. Wolf is the first startup accelerator

dedicated exclusively to the Bitcoin

Lightning Network. Four times per year, Wolf brings teams from around the world to New York City
