Lyn starts by giving her view on the investment case for Bitcoin, PlanB&rsquo;s Stock to Flow model, and whether Bitcoin can be characterized as a Ponzi scheme. They then move on to discuss global macroeconomic conditions and why Bitcoin represents a more attractive investment in a world where fiat currency supply expansion is accelerating. They touch on long-term debt cycles, 1970s stagflation, CBDCs and whether we should expect high inflation during the 2020s.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Articles by Lyn that were referenced in the conversation include:</p> <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>3 Reasons I&rsquo;m Investing in Bitcoin:&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/3xO6uqS">https://bit.ly/3xO6uqS</a></li> <li>Bitcoin: Addressing the Ponzi Scheme Characterization:&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/3f25FC6">https://bit.ly/3f25FC6</a></li> <li>A Century of Fiscal and Monetary Policy: Inflation vs Deflation:&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/3b71dRn">https://bit.ly/3b71dRn</a></li> <li>Bitcoin: Fee-Based Security Modeling:&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/2QRpdkU">https://bit.ly/2QRpdkU</a></li> </ul> <p style="font-weight: 400;">See PlanB&rsquo;s website for information on the Stock to Flow model: <a href="https://100trillionusd.github.io/">https://100trillionusd.github.io/</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div>
