Episode notes
Bryan Solstin is an aerospace systems engineer, Bitcoiner since 2017, and ran for US Senate on a zero-tax Bitcoin platform. Bryan brings a unique perspective to the discourse on conservation (savings) within a debt-based monetary system and conservation within a commodity-based monetary system. In his book, “Apex Environmental Solution: Bitcoin”, Brian argues that all conservation efforts within our current monetary system are futile and that we are driven into hyper-consumption, behavior that does not improve our lives.
