How Taxes Lead to Wars, Bitcoin's Future & the Disintegrating Nation-State. Guest: Dominic Frisby
Ashton is joined by one of the most interesting and intelligent commentators on financial topics and the Bitcoin/cryptocurrency world, Dominic Frisby.
Ashton and Dominic have a fascinating discussion on the history of taxation and how our modern-day progressive tax system created the nation-state and enabled the destructive wars that defined the last two centuries.
Dominic and Ashton then discuss: Why progressives continue to support a tax system that hurts those its intended to help (i.e. working/middle-class, young people and immigrants) and helps those its intended to hurt?; Will the US Dollar lose its global reserve status?; Have the government overreaction to the Trucker Protests in Canada and the Russia/Ukraine war further catalyzed the rate of Bitcoin adoption?; Will Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) propel the West to adopt a more Orwellian/Chinese Social-Credit type of system?; Will many of the Nation-States in existence today disintegrate as we move into a more decentralized world? Why hasn't Gold appreciated much in value during an era of massive uncertainty and inflation? and much more.
