Bitcoin Can’t Lose with Parker Lewis - WBD576

Parker Lewis is Head of Business Development at Unchained
Capital. In this interview, we discuss the failure of currencies,
the collapse of the economic engine and Bitcoin being the largest
tidal wave that's ever existed.

In the nearly 14 years since Bitcoin was launched the global
order has continued to shudder in the wake of a rolling set of
crises. Front and centre is the unwinding of the global economic
order. Fiat currencies are straining, inflation is rising, and
central banks are using ever more extreme and counter-productive
measures to keep the economy afloat.


We’re in the final throes of the long-term debt cycle. Everyone
can see it. And yet governments and central banks are refusing to
accept the inevitable. Money printing continues, in part to deal
with the second-order effects of the previous round of money
printing.


Bitcoin rose sharply at the beginning of this period, but it has
stalled in the shadow of Covid as the world struggles to repair
economies whilst dealing with growing geopolitical tensions.
Throughout this turmoil, as Parker Lewis states in our interview,
Bitcoin’s value proposition has remained the same. Why is it then
that Bitcoin has been in a bear market?


The protocol has proven itself to be a solid basis for a new form
of money. Yet, its volatility in the wake of rising inflation has
resulted in a wave of commentators dismissing its value. This has
an effect. We all know people who still think Bitcoin is a crazy
fad. This issue, as Parker Lewis contends, is that you need to do
the work to understand Bitcoin’s vital importance.


Bitcoin adoption is a function of knowledge distribution. Those
of us who are in the know must therefore keep spreading the word,
educating, advocating, orange pilling. If we do that then Bitcoin
can’t lose.
