Excellent

Dave Smith - excellent.
Called Libertarianism in USA, in European countries that have suffered by government, same beliefs are widespread and simply known as ‘common sense’. Europe very different from UK which has more cosseted history.

A book to orange pill with…

Loved the episode with Jason Maier. Yet to find a book to help me orange pill friends and family. Just bought Jason’s book and have a feeling it will help get my nearest and dearest thinking about Bitcoin. And how important Bitcoin is to the future of money. Thanks, Pete

NorthSoundAdvisors ,

Refreshing platform

Pete doesn’t purport to be the font of all knowledge but equally doesn’t shirk from pushing tough or alternative questions to be considered. The nuclear episode was a great example of bringing in relevant topics with interesting, knowledgeable guests.
