🎙️ UNLEARNING THE LIES: BITCOIN, FREEDOM & RECLAIMING THE TRUTH w/ Trace Mayer | All in Bitcoin

Podcast Just opened a new X account (@allinbitcoinpod). Appreciate your support. Follow & boost!

What if everything you thought you knew about money, trust, value, and even freedom, was wrong? In this rare and raw interview, I sit down with Trace Mayer, entrepreneur, investor, and the original voice behind the Bitcoin Knowledge Podcast, to talk about unlearning the lies we’ve been told for generations. What started as a casual chat turned into a deep, improvised interview on the true purpose of Bitcoin, the war on ideas, and how monetary sovereignty fits into a much bigger fight for personal and political freedom.

We dive into:

✔️ How Bitcoin reshaped Trace’s understanding of history, law, and economics

✔️ The dangers of debt, fiat incentives, and institutional control

✔️ The relationship between money, time preference, and long-term well-being

✔️ Why Europe is already at war, and doesn’t realize it

✔️ Why ideas, not weapons, are what governments fear most

“Ideas can only be overcome by other ideas. Power and force are impotent against them.” — Ludwig von Mises

This episode is not just about Bitcoin, it’s about reclaiming your mind, your freedom, and your future. Watch now, subscribe, and share your unlearning journey in the comments. Don’t forget to follow https://www.youtube.com/@AllInBitcoinPod for more conversations that cut through the noise.
