Just hopped off of an interview with Charles Payne on Fox Business.

I’ve done maybe a dozen interviews with him by this point but this one was special because we discussed Broken Money. :)

One point I emphasized for that audience was that the invention of bitcoin represents the first credible way to send money long distances quickly without using credit. All of the other ways that we send money in the telecommunications era rely on a series of centralized ledgers and credit-based counterparties, but starting with bitcoin there’s another way.

But will the audience be able to understand how important this is?

Nope

Thank you! I love this framing. Much better than saying “final settlement”.

Will you be able to post the interview?

Charles is the man he’s friendly but doesn’t tolerate nonsense

Have you got the clip to share?

🤙

While I agree this is important to communicate, I wonder how important this concept actually is to someone who doesn't really have a basic understanding of the inner workings of how money & credit works (normal folk). Mostly, it comes off as financial jargon (not meant to offend)

BTC is important b/c for the first time, we can send money digitally without a middleman - no one to tell us no, no one to stop our transaction. It's freedom from the system and the institutions.

Maybe this was communicated more clearly in the interview and I just need to see it

Nice.

It's hard for people in first-world countries to even think about this, because their money works well, as far as they can tell.

It's sad to see how many people refuse to even acknowledge that a lot of the money issues we're dealing with stem from the fact that we're operating on broken money.

👍

Well done!

Thanks for all that you do Lyn!
