Ah, the frustrations of economics and new crypto folks. Look, I love when eager people get into the space, but I can’t help but get a bit upset when they don’t have the critical understanding of economic underpinnings needed behind their suggestions to help the world.
This is the difference between most well intentioned folks who end up with Venezuela, and the enlightened ones (kidding) that have studied a bit of Mises or Rothbard. So in this episode, I have to bring out the big guns. Bob Murphy, economist, karaoke king, and of course, a good friend that knows how to explain boring stuff in a fun way! Want to learn why OG crypto enthusiasts make a face when talking about the Fed or the Great Depression? Check out this episode!
