This week, we continue our Digital Money Demystified Series with Bitcoin developer, educator and author, Jimmy Song. We discuss everything from the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining and how it relates to other mining to the role of stablecoins and central bank digital currencies in the future of money. We also examine the differences between Fiat and Bitcoin and why Bitcoin is the future of financial wealth.

In this insightful discussion on the myths surrounding Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies and why decentralization is so important for individual sovereignty, Jimmy Song and I break down the differences between Bitcoin and other digital assets in a way that's easy to understand. This week, episode 177 of the Tech Intersect™ Podcast is about the myth that all cryptocurrencies are the same and why Bitcoin reigns supreme!
