In this interview I talk to author Nik Bhatia about Bitcoins long path to world reserve currency and why Bitcoin might just be the first real innovation of money for centuries. While we do cover Bitcoin, we go much further back in history and get into the question what money really is, why Gold was dominant for so long and how Bitcoin mimics its most important features.
Nik Bhatia: "Most of the book is about Gold and how...

Today we talk about Bhatia’s journey as a professor, his book, his 2021 Bitcoin experience, El Salvador, and the overall future of Bitcoin in our economy in relation to inflation.

He guides his students on how to participate in the fixed income industry, covering topics like CBDC’s - which Bhatia states, “only exist because of Bitcoin.” Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) are the last grasp by central banks tryi...

“Which crypto should I buy?” I’m sure you’ve heard it a thousand times if you’ve been in this space for even a few months. Are Bitcoin and crypto really in the same space, fighting for the same markets? Or is there a more fundamental difference that is difficult to see in such a novel space? What if...
