Summary
In this conversation, Fred discusses his belief that Bitcoin is the future of money and will replace fiat currencies. He predicts that in 20 years, Bitcoin will be widely accepted as a form of payment, including for taxes. He also believes that Bitcoin's finite supply and its ability to serve as both a savings account and a checking account will lead to a fundamental shift in the power of large governments to print money. Fred mentions the need for layer two solutions and potential changes to Bitcoin's block size or op codes to address scalability. He emphasizes the importance of holding onto Bitcoin for the long term and compares it to other transformative technologies like artificial intelligence. Fred emphasizes the importance of Bitcoin becoming the unit of account and the need for complete redemption on demand for the real thing. He believes that once Bitcoin's price is higher and it becomes cheaper to transact, it will be integrated everywhere and machines will use it for microtransactions. Fred also discusses the need for less government intervention and regulation in Bitcoin, advocating for free and open money. He expresses his skepticism towards KYC and the European Union, and highlights the importance of self-custody and the potential of Bitcoin ETFs.
