Defining Diego is the story of one Guatemalan adoptee and his mother, a reporter who documented their journey from his earliest steps, as they try to understand how international adoption boomed and busted, and what it all means for families like theirs, with feet in two worlds.

The epidemic forced local surfers, politicians, and business owners into a proxy war with ocean lovers and conservationists worldwide, where long simmering tensions boiled over. Réunion: Shark Attacks in Paradise is the story of what happened on this beautiful island, and t ...

"A real comparison between gold & bitcoin is to compare their relative ability to alleviate uncertainty"
Pierre Rochard, VP of research at Riot Platforms Inc, and yes - THAT Pierre, joins me finally, on the Wake Up Podcast to discuss his new piece for The Bitcoin Times, entitled; Bitcoin VS Gold.
Now..this is not just another one of those articles.
This one is short, concise and you WILL take away with you a concept that you may not have thought about before. The difference between uncertainty and risk.
You can find the fill article here on The Bitcoin Times website:
https://bitcointimes.io/bitcoin-versus-gold/
We go on a few tangents in the episode also, but here are the core topics:
- Free Will & Determinism / Austrian Econ & Keyenianism
- Nature VS Nurture
- The difference between uncertainty and risk.
- Money (savings) is how we relieve uncertainty!!
- Inflationism is a policy that dissuades people from holding cash, and there forces them to become short-termist & have high time preference.
- Price is all about risk.
- Savings is how we minimise and manage uncertainty - NOT Risk
- Inflationism is a policy that dissuades people from holding cash, and therefore increases their uncertainty.
