Svetski Wake Up Podcast Aleks Svetski
-
- Society & Culture
The world is largely asleep.
We're living in a time where our freedoms are slowly being encroached upon, but because we're addicted to mediocre bullshit, we ignore it.
Our money no longer represents our work, time or effort, the freedom to speak out is obstructed under the guise of "diversity, inclusion and safety", privacy is no longer respected and surveillance has become mainstream "for our protection".
Wake up is dedicated to helping ensure V for Vendetta and 1984 remain works of fiction.
Topics will include Bitcoin, Money, Freedom, Philosophy, Psychology, Science, Ethics & more

Ep 98: Free Will, Uncertainty & Risk with Pierre Rochard
"A real comparison between gold & bitcoin is to compare their relative ability to alleviate uncertainty"
Pierre Rochard, VP of research at Riot Platforms Inc, and yes - THAT Pierre, joins me finally, on the Wake Up Podcast to discuss his new piece for The Bitcoin Times, entitled; Bitcoin VS Gold.
Now..this is not just another one of those articles.
This one is short, concise and you WILL take away with you a concept that you may not have thought about before. The difference between uncertainty and risk.
You can find the fill article here on The Bitcoin Times website:
https://bitcointimes.io/bitcoin-versus-gold/
We go on a few tangents in the episode also, but here are the core topics:
Free Will & Determinism / Austrian Econ & Keyenianism
Nature VS Nurture
The difference between uncertainty and risk.
Money (savings) is how we relieve uncertainty!!
Inflationism is a policy that dissuades people from holding cash, and there forces them to become short-termist & have high time preference.
Price is all about risk.
Savings is how we minimise and manage uncertainty - NOT Risk
Inflationism is a policy that dissuades people from holding cash, and therefore increases their uncertainty.

Ep 97: Toward a Node World Order Part 2, With Michael Goldstein, aka; Bitstein.
“There is no bitcoin network outside of bitcoin nodes. Those who do not run their own full node are using someone else’s full node“
Bitstein is the co-founder of both The Nakamoto Institute and Noted Bitcoin Podcast & he’s one of the most well read people I’ve ever met.
The episode continues with part two, and we cover the balance of his incredible article:
Toward a Node World Order;
How Bitcoin Obsoletes Inflation & Promotes Human Flourishing.
Read it here:
https://bitcointimes.com.au/toward-a-node-world-order/
In this part, we cover:
Why Gold “didn’t fix this”
The 3 steps to a Fiat World Order
How military conquest has been overshadowed by monetary policy
Why Bitcoin Fixes This
Doing your own verifying and indexing is the only way to be sure your index data is secure.
— Satoshi Nakamoto
A full node as an independent bookkeeper
“The bitcoin network was architected in such a way that a full node can operate in a bunker, cut off from the rest of the world, save for a single internet connection”
The dangers of people who keep trying to extend it’s purpose beyond that, in some attempt to make it do everything (eg; Ethereum, and even Bitcoiners with Ethereum envy, eg; Stacks)
Bitcoin Nodes and Methodological Individualism
What is Methodological Individualism ?
How does it manifest with a Bitcoin Node?
The idea that Bitcoin exists on the node seems to fry people’s brains because they can’t conceptualise how a global network can simultaneously be here in a local node.
“There is no bitcoin network outside of bitcoin nodes. Those who do not run their own full node are using someone else’s full node“
The Establishment of a Bitcoin World Order
A fundamentally better economic operating system
The Industrial Revolution freed humanity from the Malthusian trap. Bitcoin, having put an end to counterfeiting once and for all, frees us from the fiat trap.

Ep 96: Toward a Node World Order Part 1 With Michael Goldstein, aka; Bitstein.
“All Bitcoin is paper bitcoin until verified by your own full node”
Bitstein is the co-founder of both The Nakamoto Institute and Noted Bitcoin Podcast & he’s one of the most well read people I’ve ever met.
He joins me on the show to discuss the first essay he’s written in a LOOOONG time, called:
Toward a Node World Order;
How Bitcoin Obsoletes Inflation & Promotes Human Flourishing.
Read it here:
https://bitcointimes.com.au/toward-a-node-world-order/
We covered so much ground in this ep, that we split it into two parts.
In part one we cover:
Nodes. What they are, why they’re important and how they manifest our will onto the Bitcoin Network.
“Perpetual vigilance on the part of the citizens can achieve what a thousand laws and dozens of alphabetical bureaus with hordes of employees never have and never will achieve: the preservation of a sound currency.”
This is clearly how Bitcoin & nodes seem to have manifested his quote, but what do you think he envisioned when he said this?
What is the Malthusian Trap?
How did we solve for it?
The productivity theory of wages, and how Marxists in general get child labour so wrong.
Why real progress requires capital accumulation, technological advancement & public ideology
“There was never enough slaves to create an iPhone for the Pharaoh.”
Time preference
Why is the “evenly rotating economy” always going to be hypothetical ?
Why there will always be a necessity for Money
The state & public support
How money & banking help support a “good opinion” of the state (and at the very least the assumption that it’s a ’necessary evil’)

The Origins of the Austrian School of Economics With Rahim Taghizadegan
The Origins of the Austrian School of Economics
"There are two types of enlightenment. Grass roots, like the Austrian or Scottish kind, or Top down like the Jacobin or Fabian kind."
Rahim Taghizadegan is most well known as an Author, Bitcoiner & Educator/University Lecturer and the “Last Austrian Economist in the direct Austrian Tradition”.
He wrote a piece for the latest Bitcoin Times, Austrian Edition.
You can read and boost that here:
https://bitcointimes.com.au/from-bitcoin-to-the-austrian-school/
This man is an absolute WEALTH of knowledge and I we had an incredible discussion about the origins of Austrian Economics, money, banking and merchant networks - all which are precedents to Bitcoin.
If you’re a history buff and love to learn about the origin of things, THIS is an episode you will absolutely love.
We cover:
A history of Austrian Economics:
Menger & his lineage. Menger as a bright “node” in emergent Austrian thinking
A little about the Crown prince
Who was the Nobel Laureate (Hayek?)
Menger’s students
“Two lesser-known nodes in the network of the Austrian School would go on to have a much more profound impact on the world than the academic heirs of that tradition.”
Felix Somary who became one of the founders of Swiss private banking.
Richard Schüller, one of the best-connected diplomats of his time, who played an equally underestimated role in the return to peace after the World Wars and the independence of small post-war Austria.
The difference between the Prussians of that era and their focus on Politics, VS the Austrian focus on culture and enterprise.
“In the Austrian empire, a limited group of merchants had been granted total economic freedom and tax exemptions to make up for the relative backwardness of the empire. Successful entrepreneurs gathered in Vienna, and their quickly rising wealth brought leisure without political clout, influencing, among others, people like Menger and Hayek.“
“In a way, they resembled the Scottish Tobacco merchants whose leisure and similar distance from the state had fostered the Scottish Enlightenment. And there had indeed been old intellectual connections through Scottish and Irish monks and the scholastic tradition.”
How did Switzerland emerge in the first place?
Switzerland and Alpine Regions as microcosms and remnants of the glory of Europe.
Emergent VS Top Down enlightenment.
Who were the Fabians & the Jacobins?
What is their view & model of the world?
Why has that remained so appealing?
Does Bitcoin change that?
This was an incredible conversation and one that I hope you will learn alot from.
Rahim made a book recommendation:
“The Raven of Zurich”
Go pick that up.
