<p>In this episode, we dive into bitcoin's impact on the future global monetary order with Natalie Smolenski, an anthropologist and bitcoiner. We discuss her thoughts on how bitcoin challenges the state's monopoly on currency, invoking Karl Marx's unexpected agreement that gold, a commodity, originally embodied money—not the state-minted currencies. Natalie explains her fascination with the concept of the invaluable—elements of culture and society that transcend monetary value—and how bitcoin fits in today’s culture. We also tackle bitcoin's role as a deflationary currency in contrast to fiat's inflationary tendencies, highlighting its potential to redefine economic and social hierarchies. Join us as we explore bitcoin's potential to reshape not just economies but cultural identities.</p><p><br></p><p>SUPPORT THE PODCAST:</p><p>→ Subscribe</p><p>→ Leave a review</p><p>→ Share the show with your friends and family</p><p>→ Send us an email [email protected]</p><p>→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description</p><p>→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description</p><p>→ Buy bitcoin in an IRA—sign up today and get your first year free: <a href="http://unchained.com/frontier">unchained.com/frontier</a></p><p>→ Meet Natalie in Austin on April 16th: https://www.meetup.com/bitcoin-park-austin/events/306342336/</p><p><br></p><p>TIMESTAMPS:</p><p>00:00 - Intro</p><p>01:12 - Natalie's journey into bitcoin</p><p>02:19 - Anthropology and the concept of value</p><p>06:06 - Modern monetary theory and social power</p><p>10:09 - Central banking and national economic performance</p><p>15:12 - The challenge of physical currencies and the role of central banks</p><p>20:27 - Money as the most salable good: Carl Menger's insights</p><p>26:17 - Debunking the myth: Bitcoin and collective hallucination</p><p>30:01 - Bitcoin as a protocol for new societal frameworks</p><p>34:10 - Bitcoin's potential impact on societal structures</p><p>38:23 - The state's interest in bitcoin and potential risks</p><p>42:27 - Legal challenges and the future of bitcoin ownership</p><p>45:24 - The future of privacy, property, and political action in the bitcoin era</p><p>WHERE TO FOLLOW US:</p><p>→ Unchained Twitter: https://twitter.com/unchainedcom</p><p>→ Unchained Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unchainedcom </p><p>→ Unchained Newsletter: https://unchained.com/newsletter </p><p>→ Joe Burnett’s Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/IIICapital">https://twitter.com/IIICapital</a></p><p>→ Jose Burgos (Director of Media Production) on Twitter: <a href="https://x.com/DeFBeD">https://x.com/DeFBeD</a></p><p>→ Natalie Smolenski’s Twitter: https://x.com/NSmolenski</p>

<p>What happens when a certified financial planner sells two homes to buy bitcoin? In this episode, we sit down with Jessy Gilger, Senior Advisor at Sound Advisory, to explore the radical shift happening inside the financial advisory industry. Jessy shares how he went from flipping houses to building multi-generational wealth on a bitcoin standard, and why more clients—and even advisors—are quietly making the leap. We cover how ETFs are changing incentives, how to navigate capital allocation between real estate and bitcoin, and the risks of high bitcoin exposure in retirement. Jessy explains why volatility planning matters, how to survive bitcoin drawdowns, and how to protect your family with proper inheritance planning. We also get into his take on the national bitcoin reserve and potential tax changes.</p><p><br></p><p>SUPPORT THE PODCAST:</p><p>→ Subscribe</p><p>→ Leave a review</p><p>→ Share the show with your friends and family</p><p>→ Send us an email [email protected]</p><p>→ Learn more about Unchained: https://unchained.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description</p><p>→ Book a free call with a bitcoin expert: https://unchained.com/consultation?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=TBF-podcast-description</p><p>→ Buy bitcoin in an IRA—sign up today and get your first year free: <a href="http://unchained.com/frontier">unchained.com/frontier</a></p><p>→ If you can’t talk about your bitcoin wealth with your financial advisor, it might be time to find a new advisor.
