With two face? Flip a coin.

10 minutes in, "intrinsic value" was mentioned a dozen times 😂

It's actually not too bad. Someone orange-pill this guy!

They managed to mention bitcoin and PoW, I'm impressed!

👀

OH MY GOD HE'S A GOLDBUG THAT DOESN'T UNDERSTAND GOLD AND DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CRYPTO AND BITCOIN

MUUUUUUUUHHHHHH CUFFLINKS

Peterson understands more about money than this guy, who wrote a book about money. God damnit.

Thank you for this now I feel like I don’t need to waste my time 🫡

Thank god

One of the first—and most important—things free-market Austrian economics teaches is that all value is subjective.

There is no such thing as inherent or intrinsic value.

Something only has value because individuals subjectively determine it has value to them.

For example, when people didn’t understand what crude oil was, they’d find it in their backyards and think it was waste. So they’d pay to have it removed from their property.

Later, once people understood the economic potential of crude oil, it was transformed from unwanted waste into a lucrative commodity.

The oil didn’t change; it was still the same oil. What changed was how people valued it.

Marxists differ in that they falsely believe that labor has inherent or intrinsic value. But this ridiculous notion is easily debunked.

The great economist Murray Rothbard explains this by asking people to try to make and sell mud pies—not the chocolate desserts, but pies literally made of dirt.

According to the Marxists, the pies have objective and intrinsic value because of the labor someone put into making them. But good luck getting someone to pay for them voluntarily.

The concept that all value is subjective applies to all goods, including monetary goods like gold and Bitcoin.

Nothing has intrinsic value, value is subjective. How ever the more people that value a thing the more utility it has. The construction of social reality aka culture is imagination made real. X count as Y in C. "bitcoin count as money in the cyberspace" "fiat count as money in the bank" "gold count as money in the old world" etc
