Dr. Saifedean Ammous is the author of The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking, the best-selling groundbreaking study of the economics of bitcoin. The book was a pioneer in explaining bitcoin’s value proposition as the hardest money ever discovered, and the only working alternative to national central banks for international payments.
Dr. Ammous holds a PhD in Sustainable Development from Columbia University, where his doctoral thesis studied the economics of biofuels and alternative energy sources. He also holds an MSc in Development Management from the London School of Economics, and a Bachelor of Engineering from the American University of Beirut.
This RU-vid channel is intended to showcase Dr. Ammous’ research in studying the economics of bitcoin, and nothing in it should be construed as investment advice. Before deciding whether to invest in bitcoin, you should do your own extensive research into the financial and technical aspects involved.
It's a great scheme in the US. Liability insurance strongly encourages doctors prescribe standard treatment plans/meds supporting data that makes liability insurance providers money. Of course insurance providers make money in a variety of ways. Simply keeping their payouts down is one. The other is encouraging use of particular meds. Now the enabler: force US doctors to carry liability insurance. The result is these bland treatments that provide little creativity to the benefit of the patient consumer. Go to a country where medical services rep is high, and doctors are not required to carry liability insurance.
Well, I picked the challenge to put my finances in order. Then I invested in cryptocurrency, stocks, through the assistance of my discretionary fund manager
1:35:00 Fossil fuels is a misnomer according to Pentagon Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty circa the 1950s until his death years ago. The stated reason was that there are layers in the earth's surface, and no fossils have been found or could even theoretically be found below about 16 thousand feet in depth, but oil rigs routinely strike oil at twice that depth. He said that he was at a round table discussion about some crisis and had a buddy on hand who was said to be smarter than Einstein and was head of some big science lab think tank group. He and his buddy got belittling two or three PhD geologists who were seated at the round table. Prouty claimed that the oil tycoons had scientists attend a scientific meeting in the late 1800s that declared that oil was composed of formerly living matter and should thereby be called a fossil fuel. But that was a bogus theory that stood even after being contradicted by the oil discoveries so deep in earth's surface layers. /watch?v=zSff0pwc1Xc Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty Oil as a Fossil Fuel
1:00:00 some Zionists (and their Western allies) make the same manipulation when they blame the Polish population for WW2 crimes committed against Jews that took place under German-Nazi rule in occupied Polish territory. There were criminals in every state, and during war time it is obvoius they would use the occasion to plunder to weakest ones. How is this the fault of the Polish state that had no control over these lands? The Polish state was the first one to oppose Hitler with armed response in 1939 (England and France never fired a single bullet unitl 1940), there has never been any Polish collaborative government (contrary to France, Norway, Hungary, Bulgaria etc), and not even any Polish SS unit (contrary to the Belgian one, the Ukrainian one, the Latvian one etc).
I think if the “drug that cures all” would come out, it perfectly would and wouldn’t be stopped because the demand would be SOOO HIGH that the developers would become deservedly and massively rich and diseases would keep coming and coming no matter what so the product would keep developing and scaling and it would give jobs to the manufacturing process individuals. It would be a disruption. I don’t believe in that conspiracy of the “keep you addicted” market. Sorry Saifedean. Btw I am a doctor, and Bitcoiner, but I also believe that free market keeps working nowadays, clunky and manipulated through fiat, but it keeps working
The market always needs to cooperate with the human needs and give choices to the patient so I hope we can find an equilibrium between “fiat” medicine and “Bitcoin” medicine
The prescription bot is a great way to look at it. Last time I saw a physician it was like I was talking to someone that was hypnotized. The doctor was overweight, he was drinking a Diet Coke, asked me some questions and then prescribed me a Z Pack. I asked him if I could change something in my diet instead and he looked at me like I was crazy. So instead I went to a naturopath, he tested me with kinesiology and said stop eating dairy. After years of continuously getting bronchitis and pneumonia it all went away and never returned because I took something out instead of putting something in, like a drug. The cost of taking out dairy, $0. What it would have cost if I was put on a drug, $1000’s year after year. I wish I was told to follow the incentives a long time ago. I wish this podcast was available in the 90’s
Excellent. Can it be used in the USA specifically in New York state? Secondly, I have the interest of using it for our church which is a trusted community. Has this been explored yet? The idea of using it for churches?
Just finished reading my 9th book on Climate Change, by authors from varying perspectives. Alas, some accept the IPCC summaries as authentic science. Thank you for the insight of what's behind the curtain of 'Climate Change'
Unfortunately every time I mention Willie Soon to people, they will quickly argue that at some point he got funding from fuel companies. They won't even try to listen.

All this talk of meat. Is that primarily red meat or atr there also benefits to eating a lot of pork. Would prefer a diet explanation over a religious one.
About 5 years ago I learned from Tucker Goodritch that me being several years on keto/carnivore, allowed me to not get burned. I tested it and it is what happened. Since I have even tried to get inflammed by exposing myself to sunshine for the entire spring day in Finland. I no longer get burned but do get a fabulous tan. Never ever on a SADiet this was possible
I did not notice any covid symptoms, but hey, I am never sick anyway, as I do not desinfect my micobial environment. Six years of bioquantum hacking and carnivorism. I am a proud post covid antivaxxer.
