It’s Bitcoin White Paper Day — and the timing couldn’t be more perfect. As the Fed cuts rates again and quietly ends quantitative tightening, Freddie from Bitcoin Policy UK joins My Two Sats to explain why governments secretly need inflation, how fiat currencies trap nations in debt, and why Bitcoin was designed to end it.
From UK politics to global monetary policy, this episode breaks down the Fed’s move, the “noble lie” behind central banking, and why even not having a Bitcoin policy is now a policy failure.
