"A real comparison between gold & bitcoin is to compare their relative ability to alleviate uncertainty"

Pierre Rochard, VP of research at Riot Platforms Inc, and yes - THAT Pierre, joins me finally, on the Wake Up Podcast to discuss his new piece for The Bitcoin Times, entitled; Bitcoin VS Gold.

Now..this is not just another one of those articles.

This one is short, concise and you WILL take away with you a concept that you may not have thought about before. The difference between uncertainty and risk.

You can find the fill article here on The Bitcoin Times website:

We go on a few tangents in the episode also, but here are the core topics:

• Free Will & Determinism / Austrian Econ & Keyenianism


• Nature VS Nurture


• The difference between uncertainty and risk.


• Money (savings) is how we relieve uncertainty!!


• Inflationism is a policy that dissuades people from holding cash, and there forces them to become short-termist & have high time preference.


• Price is all about risk.


• Savings is how we minimise and manage uncertainty - NOT Risk


• Inflationism is a policy that dissuades people from holding cash, and therefore increases their uncertainty.
