Show Notes

"The difference between the Linden Dollar, World of Warcraft Gold, Fortnite V-Bucks, the Euro, and the U.S. dollar is in scale, not in nature. While V-Bucks are created and controlled by Epic Games (the company that created Fortnite), the U.S. dollar is created and controlled by the Fed. One impacts millions of people, the other billions. The mechanism that keeps these monies in check—the rules of the game, if you will—is the same in both cases: central decree." - DerGigi You don't want to miss this incredible piece from DerGigi, another chapter released from his forthcoming book 21 Ways, Bitcoin is Digital Scarcity.
