Why Central Banking Incentivizes Corruption (And Bitcoin Doesn’t) w/ Robin Seyr

From the pandemic response to central banking, media narratives, and Bitcoin adoption, we examine a simple heuristic: if the product is free, you are the product. This isn’t conspiracy thinking — it’s incentive analysis. When you stop listening to what people say and instead examine how they’re incentivized, the world looks very different. We explore how Bitcoin restructures incentives away from coercion and toward cooperation, why violence becomes less profitable in a Bitcoin world, and how self-custody changes the calculus of power.
