Julian Figueroa: The Role of Bitcoin in a Collapsing Monetary System

Recently, I’ve been thinking and reading a lot about the economy, bitcoin, and the history of monetary systems.After stumbling on one of Julian’s informative 60 second videos on Modern Monetary Theory, it was only fitting that I reach out him to chat on the podcast. Julian Figueroa is a Canadian entrepreneur, filmmaker and bitcoin investor.This was one of the most fun, engaging and insightful conversations I’ve had in a while. Although the conversation could have lasted a lot longer, we covered several topics, including:The creation of the existing monetary systems and its problemsThe dilemma which the US faces as the global reserve currencyWhether the USD is actually a “safe haven” assetHow money scarcity could be a positive for societies around the world What has to occur for a bitcoin standard to take shapeCBDC’s and the risk they pose to freedomWhy Julian purchased 5 acres on an island off Vancouver, off the grid Follow Julian on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@KineticFinanceFollow Julian on Twitter: https://twitter.com/kinetic_finance
