Show Notes
Today I talk with Darcy Ungaro. Darcy is a financial advisor, a Bitcoiner, and he also hosts the NZ Everyday Investor Podcast.
This episode is very much a crossover where we talk about our views on Bitcoin and what the future may look like. Wealth and investment planning strategies traditionally involve things like real estate, stocks, and KiwiSaver, but for many people these pathways are no longer realistic options and more and more people are seeking alternatives, such as Bitcoin.
There is a lot going on out there. It sometimes seems like we are entering a brave new world where things will never be the same again. As the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius once wrote:
"Consider frequently, how swiftly all things which exist, are swept away, and carried off."
Perhaps it is the change presented by an unchangeable money called Bitcoin that will help us move in a better direction?

We discover some interesting parallels between the unconfiscatable nature of Bitcoin and the origins of state power with its ability to tax easily countable grain crops versus something like a potato which grows underground.We also talk about the history of the printing press as it relates to inflation within the church, and Andrew's personal proof of work undertaking a 1000-mile pilgrimage in the footsteps of Martin Luther from Germany to Rome.

We talk about Ben’s recent travels to El Salvador and Madeira, and we reflect on the declining situation of my beloved home country, New Zealand, and in particular the economic violence that the State and the Reserve Bank of New Zealand continues to unleash upon the people through its egregious manipulation of the money. But that said, we know that Bitcoin fixes this, and we are here to build bridges and meet people where they are at!
