Parker Lewis on Debt, Inflation, and Bitcoin as a Monetary Reset

In this long-form interview, Parker Lewis — noted Bitcoin advocate and former hedge fund professional — joins me for a wide-ranging discussion on the structural problems facing the global financial system and the growing case for Bitcoin as a long-term solution.

Drawing on his experience in corporate restructuring, macro investing, and monetary research, Parker walks through how the post-2008 era of quantitative easing, debt expansion, and central bank intervention has created a system dependent on perpetual money creation. We discuss why this dynamic is unsustainable, how inflation quietly undermines productivity and social trust, and how Bitcoin provides a credible, rule-based alternative.

Key topics include:

The logic (and limits) of money printing post-2008

Why debt-based systems require constant growth

Parker’s intellectual journey from gold to Bitcoin

Bitcoin’s fixed supply as a response to fiat instability

The impact of monetary policy on housing, trade, and inequality

How to communicate Bitcoin’s value to non-technical audiences

Bitcoin as a potential reserve asset for institutions and governments

Whether you're new to Bitcoin or well-versed in macroeconomics, this conversation offers a clear and comprehensive framework for understanding why a monetary reset may be underway—and what role Bitcoin could play in shaping it.
