The Bitcoin Age with Nik Bhatia | Bitcoin Infinity Show #159

In this episode, Nik Bhatia joins the show to talk about his background, his transition from a traditional finance career to becoming a Bitcoin author and educator, and his latest book, 'Bitcoin Age.' We discuss his view on Austrian economics, the credit system's necessity for perpetual expansion, the fascinating story of Bitcoin's rise, and its impact on personal and global finance. We also touch on whether Bitcoin and the dollar can coexist in the long run and the potential future policy changes like the elimination of capital gains tax on Bitcoin transactions.
