Reads: The Philosophy of Liberty and Why Bitcoin Matters

Send us Fan Mail Bitcoin Well Reads 4: The Philosophy of Liberty and Why Bitcoin Matters Bitcoin is hovering in the mid-$60,000s, and the fear index is flashing panic . But if you are hyper-focused on price, you are missing the entire point of why Bitcoin was created . In this episode of the Bitcoin Well Podcast, Zach Addair steps away from the noise of the market to read his foundational essay, "The Philosophy of Liberty and Why Bitcoin Matters". We explore the absolute basics of human freedom: self-ownership, property rights, and voluntary exchange. Discover why relying on the government to manage money always leads to the initiation of force and the theft of purchasing power through inflation. Bitcoin is the peaceful revolution. It enforces property rights through mathematics, removes the power of politicians to inflate your savings, and allows you to transact without permission. It is the physical manifestation of liberty.
