from The Kinvestor Report · host Kinvestor

In the final part of this two-part episode, Arlen and Seb Bunney, Author of The Hidden Cost of Money and Co-Founder & CEO of Looking Glass Education, where they discuss trustless systems, monetary rules versus political control, and what Bitcoin could mean for the future of money and society. 🔎 Inside this Episode: 🔹 What a “trustless” monetary system actually means 🔹 Rules vs. rulers in modern financial systems 🔹 How Bitcoin enforces scarcity and transparency 🔹 The societal implications of sound digital money 🔹 And more! 📌 About Our Guest – Seb Bunney Seb’s path to the financial world has been anything but conventional. He began his career navigating the backcountry trails of British Columbia as a mountain bike guide and coach, but a quiet sense of incompleteness stirred deeper questions. In his downtime, he immersed himself in the study of money, macroeconomics, psychology, and the structures that shape our society. What began as a personal journey of self-discovery evolved into a decade-long exploration of the financial system and its ripple effects on human behaviour. When the pandemic reshaped the world, Seb made a pivotal shift—channeling his passion for education into the digital space. He went on to co-found the educational platform Looking Glass, co-author B is for Bitcoin, and write the number-one bestselling book The Hidden Cost of Money—a bold exploration of how money shapes our lives and the world around us. As a result of his work, Seb has been invited to share his perspective at global conferences, on influential podcasts, and in well-regarded financial publications. 🎯 Make Smart Moves in 2026! 🔹 Subscribe for more expert insights: https://www.youtube.com/@kinvestornetwork 🔹 Like & Share to help others discover this valuable content 🔹 Hit the Notification Bell 🔔 so you never miss an episode 📲 Connect with The Kinvestor Report: ✅ Follow Kinvestor on X/Twitter: https://x.com/KinvestorHQ ✅ Follow Arlen Hansen on X/Twitter: https://x.com/ArlenHansen ✅ Visit Our Website: https://kincommunications.com/kinvestor-network/ 🌐 Follow Seb Bunney: 🔸 Follow on X/Twitter: https://x.com/SebBunney 🔸 Visit his Website: https://www.sebbunney.com/ 🔸 Check out his book 'The Hidden Cost of Money': https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0CPNGJF5L 🔸 Check out his book 'B is for Bitcoin: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0C2LKSPFJ 📌 Chapters: 00:00 Continuation 00:13 What is bitcoin? 05:22 Inflation?
