The Money Adjustment with Dr. Marc Kramer

In this compelling episode of The Money Adjustment Podcast, host Dr. Marc Kramer welcomes back author and Bitcoin advocate Jesse Tevelow for a profound exploration of how broken fiat money—infinitely inflatable, centralized, and decaying in value—fuels virtually every modern societal problem, from inflation and inequality (via the Cantillon effect) to stress, declining institutions, and fractured relationships. Jesse argues that Bitcoin represents the first truly pristine, sound money in human history: fixed supply, auditable, digital, and non-dilutable, serving as the essential base layer of value, superior even to gold. As AI accelerates toward exponential productivity and potential hive-mind dominance, Bitcoin offers the critical guardrails to steer humanity toward a golden age of abundance, low time preference, and multi-planetary prosperity—or, if mishandled, a dystopian future. Tevelow ties these ideas to his upcoming books: the nonfiction "Life After Bitcoin", which details Bitcoin’s solutions to humanity’s core issues, and the near-future sci-fi thriller "Hivemind" (set 2035–2051), a Black Mirror-style cautionary tale of algorithmic control, influencer rule, and moral corruption in a post-government world. The conversation blends urgent warnings with genuine hope, urging listeners to stack sats, lower time preference, and build intentionally toward a better civilization.
