War, History, And Why Bitcoin Matters w/ Coin Dad

The "What is Money?" Show

Show Notes

In this conversation, Coin Dad and Robert Breedlove explore the incentive structures that shape human behavior, markets, and institutions. We discuss why systems built on fiat money tend toward corruption, why authority often replaces truth, and how Bitcoin changes the game by aligning incentives with reality.

From the psychology of decision-making to the hidden cost of “free” services, this episode breaks down how incentives govern everything — from personal choices to global finance — and why understanding them may be the key to navigating the modern world.

This conversation covers Bitcoin, central banking, incentives, authority, responsibility, and the hidden forces that shape human action.
