In an adversarial environment in which bitcoin and gold compete for the best store of value, Joshua Scigala sees potential in both and supports them equally. In this episode, Joshua and I diverge a little bit from the usual monetary topics to get philosophical.

We talk about ethics, cancel culture, and all the human problems that will not get fixed by hard money and require us to better ourselves first.
