Bitcoin Explained: Everything You Wanted to Know w/Saifedean Ammous

Asking for Bitcoin explained is like asking how a rocket works; it's a little complex. A digital currency is valued at a certain amount of dollars (or euros, yen, etc.) and is used to pay for goods or exchange for other currencies. That makes sense. But things can get complicated as we go deeper into Bitcoin and the blockchain. There's no need to get overwhelmed; we brought Saifedean Ammous, economist and author of “The Bitcoin Standard,” onto the show to explain. Saifedean, like many investors, was skeptical of Bitcoin at first. He thought it was merely a fad that would pass away in a few years. But, after researching the history of money, the rise and fall of fiat currencies, and the standard that Bitcoin was built on, Saifedean changed his tone. Now, he's a huge proponent of this new "digital gold" and has spent years of his life warning others of fiat currency's faults and the opportunity behind Bitcoin itself. In today's episode, Saifedean explains what Bitcoin is, how it works, why the blockchain is needed, and why saving money isn't enough in today's fiat inflationary environment. You'll also hear why "hard money" like Bitcoin beats "easy money" like the American dollar and why the latest cryptocurrency crash isn't as bad as mainstream economists think. So if you've thought of snagging a bit of Bitcoin, this is the best place to start. 00:00 Intro 02:46 Why "Hard" Money Matters 11:40 Easy Money, Hard Times 18:51 Fiat Currency Explained 27:09 Bitcoin Explained 44:40 The Bitcoin-Only Blockchain 52:00 The Bitcoin Crash Explained 56:25 Keep Your Keys! 59:24 Connect with Saifedean! 59:47 The New "Digital Gold" Show Notes at: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/mo... ~~~~ Join the BiggerPockets Money Facebook Group:   / bpmoney   ~~~~ Find an Investor-Friendly Agent in Your Area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/agent/m... ~~~~ Bitcoin—The New Face Of Banking: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/20... ~~~~ Everyone’s Talking About Cryptocurrencies.
