In the latest episode of Blockworks’ podcast “Empire,” Jason Yanowitz , co-founder of Blockworks, sits down with Robert Breedlove, founder of Parallax Digital, to talk about inflation, the effects of central banking, what the world would look like on a bitcoin standard and more.

Robert is a bitcoin philosopher with a focus on exploring freedom, sovereignty, philosophy, economics and bitcoin from first principles. He also hosts the YouTube series ‘What is Money?’ featuring some of the top names in technology, finance & bitcoin including previous guests Michael Saylor and Robert Kiyosaki.

Robert and Jason talk about:

  • Hyperinflation vs Hyperbitcoinization
  • The Effects of Central Banking

On “Empire,” once a week, Jason interviews individuals that have built the crypto industry to talk about their struggles, bold moves and tough decisions. For any NPR or Guy Raz fans out there, you can think of “Empire” like a “How I Built This” for the bitcoin and crypto industry.
