In a world where central authority controls the value of money, Brad Ellisor dives deep into the world of Bitcoin to discover a new way of manifesting creative potential that cannot be manipulated by an outside force.

"Bitcoin is the ultimate bait and switch. You think it's a get rich quick scheme and then you actually learn about how money really works."

In this episode, you will learn the following:

1. What is money, really?

2. What are the consequences of centralizing money?

3. What is the future of cryptocurrency?

Dr. Brad Ellisor is a chiropractor and Bitcoin enthusiast. He has been involved in the cryptocurrency space for over two years and is passionate about its potential to shape the world.

This is Brad Ellisor's story...

Brad Ellisor discovered Bitcoin through a friend and mentor who introduced him to the concept of cryptocurrency. Bitcoin is a way of physical manifestation of our creative essence or creative potential, and it is controlled by nobody. Because of the way it's programmatically created, there can be no central authority that controls or dictates what happens with Bitcoin. It's policy. There's no monetary policy that can be manipulated by an outside force. Bitcoin is in a transitionary period in the history of cryptocurrency, and it is still early. Even if you're listening to this podcast beyond September 29, you are still early.
