Bitcoin, fiat currency, inflation, and why most people are misunderstanding what “risk” actually means in today’s financial system. Jeff Tiefenthaler from Bitcoin Denominator Group breaks down why Bitcoin is not a speculative asset but a savings technology designed with transparent rules, fixed supply, and predictable issuance. He explains how fiat currency loses purchasing power through inflation, why traditional risk models and the 60/40 portfolio are breaking down, and how recent banking instability exposed hidden risks in the financial system. Levi McPherson and Jeff also explore how Bitcoin’s code-based monetary policy compares to centrally managed currencies, why trust in traditional finance is eroding, and how Ethereum fits into the broader digital asset landscape. The conversation challenges conventional thinking around wealth preservation, risk pricing, and long-term financial strategy in a changing global economy.
