You think you know what money is and how it works, but then you watch this conversation with Tom and Robert Breedlove and now you’re questioning everything.
During our current financial crisis, prices in the market are a lot higher than what they’re reporting inflation to be. You spend $100 in groceries and you’re leaving the supermarket with what feels more like $60 or $70 worth of groceries. How is this possible when inflation is reported to be closer to 9%?
Robert Breedlove hosts the podcast, What Is Money. He is a freedom maximalist, and bitcoin philosopher that gives you plenty of food for thought. His breakdown of inflation, theft, and corrosion of big government is hard to ignore.
In this episode you can take away some money strategies that will help get you through this crisis. Robert is exposing what true debasement of your hard earned dollars really means, and why you should be outraged as a private citizen. Is bitcoin truly the answer to ending economic corruption people have been sold?
