Recently, I’ve been thinking and reading a lot about the economy, bitcoin, and the history of monetary systems.

After stumbling on one of Julian’s informative 60 second videos on Modern Monetary Theory, it was only fitting that I reach out him to chat on the podcast. 

Julian Figueroa is a Canadian entrepreneur, filmmaker and bitcoin investor.

This was one of the most fun, engaging and insightful conversations I’ve had in a while. Although the conversation could have lasted a lot longer, we covered several topics, including:

• The creation of the existing monetary systems and its problems
• The dilemma which the US faces as the global reserve currency
• Whether the USD is actually a “safe haven” asset
• How money scarcity could be a positive for societies around the world 
• What has to occur for a bitcoin standard to take shape
• CBDC’s and the risk they pose to freedom
• Why Julian purchased 5 acres on an island off Vancouver, off the grid
