Whitney doesn’t understand Bitcoin well enough, nor Austrian economics at all. She entered the rabbit hole, got distracted, and went down other rabbit holes instead.

So she is in parts right, in parts wrong, but she joins together so many dots that to unravel it and argue it is a lot of effort.

Boiled down she thinks CBDCs are coming to control us (yes) and thinks Larry Fink / Saylor / Banks / Wall St decide what money is and can control that because they have a narrative (no).

Why are you watching some bot channel? That interview is a few months old.

I agree with a lot of what she says usually, but occasionally some of her comments are a bit "out there" for me.

I do believe bitcoin has to be used to exchange value and ramp up slowly over time. I say slowly because it needs to monetize in the process and we are very far from having done that.

At the end of the day, if all you can do with bitcoin is store your value, well, I say good luck living under complete surveillance. We do need private digital money that no state controls. Bitcoin will do both if we insist on it, but we can't play a passive role (which we are not).

I don't think it was ever a secret that the state will use either sector - private or public to institute their slave tech. I think she is correct about the 2 sides of the same coin. As long as we are aware of this and understand that attacks can come via other means other than regulation, we should be fine.

Stay cautious, think for yourself, don't trust influencers, speak up, ignore sheeple.

Whitney Webb is legit and blackpilled to the core. I like James Corbett more. The most recent TFTC pod with her was top notch.

She's a doom-porn-star

I didn’t watch this video but nostr:npub1g0587hzzckcncxfm78n0996qe2s58nspy29wf02tqcj5sdzcpj4q6j40hv does legit investigation journalism.
