Caitlin Long: Fighting for Economic Freedom

Can a former Wall Street banker fix our broken financial system? Or will the banking cartel succeed at destroying the competition? In this episode of Liberty Curious, Kate Wand had the honor of speaking with Ms. Caitlin Long, founder of Custodia, a financial institution anchored in Bitcoin, sound money, and safe banking. Long has been fighting an ongoing battle with the most powerful institutions in the world, in her fight of Custodia vs. the Fed. We discuss the importance of economic freedom in a rapidly centralizing world, the philosophy that shapes Long’s decisions, and the implications of the Fed denying Custodia's application for membership. We dive into the Fed's balance sheet, fractional reserve banking, and the link between Austrian economics and Bitcoin. She explains why she sees Bitcoin as so important, and how it is linked to both personal and economic freedom. We also touch on the history of the banking system, bank failures, central banks, and CBDCs. This is a real-life David vs. Goliath tale, and Caitlin Long is fighting for all of our economic and personal freedoms. aier.org/podcasts 0:00 - Intro 1:13 - Caitlin Long 4:05 - fractional reserve banking 7:13 - Focus of Custodia 13:05 - Changing the architecture of the banking system 20:54 - There's something broken in the system 28:23 - Austrian vs. MMT 33:08 - Bitcoin & decentralized banking 37:50 - Bitcoin skeptics & fiat money 45:50 - Authoritarian regimes & bitcoin 48:00 - Custodia & self-custody 50:54 - Choking the competition 57:00 - What do you want your bank to be? 59:13 - Why?
