Economics
Lyn Alden's latest market update builds on her article charting the relationship between interest rates and inflation. Since conventional central bank focused economics is posited on interest rates influencing inflation, it's a precient topic.
Lyn points to the International Monetary Fund's, a multinational financial organization, paper on using inflation and financial repression to solve goverment debt crisis

Episode 89: Not at all about Bitcoin
Great episode, gentlemen. Great discussion on mis/disinformation. Has been my thoughts on the issue for a while. I read this good article on KYC/AML and thought you might want to review. I worked at banks for a while and always had to take yearly training on it. Hate it. https://disruptives-horizons.com/p/kyc-aml-destroying-world
