Our friend Tony Yazbeck rejoins us to tell us about bitcoin best practices, self-custody, and privacy.

In this interview, Saifedean talks with economist Juan Ramón Rallo about his book Principles of Economics, as well as the future of fiat money in the face of the rise of gold and Bitcoin.

Tristan Scott, founder of Daylight Computer, joins us to explore the philosophy behind distraction-free technology, the limits of current devices, and how rethinking hardware can help restore focus and mental clarity.

We’re joined by Balaji Srinivasan, entrepreneur and investor, to explore his ideas from The Network State: how technology is reshaping companies, communities, and currencies—and how it could also enable new cities and even new countries.

The final lecture of this course examines how bitcoin's fixed supply & censorship resistance upends the entire fiat monetary order, & explores how the two systems will interact over time.

In this lecture delivered at the Property and Freedom Society, Saifedean explains why the root cause of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the denial of property rights. Religious and racial conflict are not destined in Palestine; they are historically rare occurrences, but this system of property rights would create violent conflict anywhere.

The Fiat Standard Lecture 17: Bitcoin Cost-Benefit Analysis explores bitcoin as an electricity-based savings tool, how the value stored exceeds security costs, and why declining supply growth increases monetary efficiency compared to fiat debasement.
