He explains how fractional reserve banking functions as legalized fraud, designed to deceive rather than serve. We explore why even finance professionals often don’t understand what money actually is. Joe makes the case for Bitcoin as the honest alternative—transparent, incorruptible, and aligned with reality. This conversation reveals how Bitcoin changes not just your portfolio, but your worldview.
