Episode notes
“The thing that is creating this destruction, which is the decades-long of inflationary monetary policy, has actually sowed the seed of opportunity to counter it, and I think that counter is Bitcoin.”
— Preston Pysh
SHOW DESCRIPTION
Location: Zoom
Date: Friday 12th June
Project: The Investors Podcast
Role: Host
With the current global economic outlook and rise in social unrest, we are living in unprecedented times. The coronavirus pandemic, subsequent lockdowns and preventative measures put in place by governments around the world has led to many businesses closing or relying on bailouts, and jobless figures are amongst the highest since records began.
The killing of George Floyd at the hands of the police has seen protests against racial inequality have spread across the world. In the US, especially, these protests turned have turned into riots with looting, buildings burnt down and violent clashes.
During this time of uncertainty, the S&P500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average have both climbed ~40% since the drop in March, seemingly proving that the markets can behave irrationally. Some analysts are pointing to dangerous signals that we are heading towards the collapse of currencies.
Are all of these combined events the perfect storm for Bitcoin?
In this interview, I talk to Preston Pysh, author, engineer & the host of The Investor Podcast. We discuss the global macroeconomy, deflation vs inflation and why now Bitcoin is more important than ever.
