Monetary Anarchy with Alex Jeser (WiM392)

Alex Jeser joins me to talk about his book, “Monetary Anarchy: The Separation of Money and State”. We discuss the origin of knowledge, how warfare benefits the state, the difference between democracy, anarchy and minarchy, and whether monetary anarchy is possible on the Bitcoin standard. Alex Jeser is an economist, author, and technology entrepreneur. // GUEST // Twitter: https://twitter.com/alexjeser Book: https://t.co/mBlVIp2jD5Website: https://monetaryanarchy.com/// SPONSORS // In Wolf's Clothing: https://wolfnyc.com/NetSuite: https://netsuite.com/whatismoneyiCoin Hardware Wallet (use discount code BITCOIN23): https://www.icointechnology.com/Mind Lab Pro: https://mindlabpro.com/breedloveCrowdHealth: https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/breedloveWasabi Wallet: https://wasabiwallet.io/Bitcoin Apparel (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://thebitcoinclothingcompany.com/Feel Free Tonics (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://botanictonics.comCarnivore Bar (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://carnivorebar.com/// OUTLINE // 00:00:00 - Coming up 00:00:33 - Intro 00:02:06 - Helping Lightning Startups with In Wolf's Clothing 00:02:52 - Alex Jeser’s Economic Background and Discovering Bitcoin 00:06:18 - The Origin of Knowledge 00:10:23 - Empiricism and Rationalism 00:13:32 - What is Money? 00:17:16 - Different Types of Money 00:21:08 - What is Inflation? 00:23:56 - Why Free Market Money Gets Outlawed? 00:30:37 - Fractional Reserve Banking 00:38:03 - Emergence and Purpose of Nation States 00:48:52 - Is Democracy a Success or Failure? 00:50:42 - Run Your Business from Anywhere with NetSuite 00:51:47 - Secure Your Bitcoin Stash with the iCoin Hardware Wallet 00:52:44 - How Warfare Benefits the State 00:57:10 - Interstate Anarchy and Fiat System 00:59:12 - Anarchy Based on Morals and Markets 01:10:47 - Anarchy and Bitcoin 01:17:22 - What is Minarchy? 01:23:00 - True Democracy of Bitcoin 01:26:15 - A World Without States 01:29:08 - Bitcoin: An Incorruptible Economic Voting System 01:31:05 - Enhance Your Brain Power with Mind Lab Pro 01:32:11 - Take Control of Your Healthcare with CrowdHealth 01:33:13 - A Bitcoin Wallet with Privacy Built-In: Wasabi Wallet 01:34:05 - Can the State Stop Bitcoin? 01:38:52 - Strong Points of Bitcoin 01:42:27 - Illustrating Monetary Anarchy 01:47:36 - Does Monetary Anarchy Advance Civilization? 01:52:15 - Where to Find Alex on the Internet// PODCAST // Podcast Website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-what-is-money-show/id1541404400Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/25LPvm8EewBGyfQQ1abIsE?RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/MLdpYXYI// SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL // Bitcoin: 3D1gfxKZKMtfWaD1bkwiR6JsDzu6e9bZQ7 Sats via Strike: https://strike.me/breedlove22Sats via Tippin.me: https://tippin.me/@Breedlove22Dollars via Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/RBreedlove// WRITTEN WORK // Medium: https://breedlove22.medium.com/Substack: https://breedlove22.substack.com/// SOCIAL // Breedlove Twitter: https://twitter.com/Breedlove22WiM?
