This episode of the Bitcoin Infinity Academy covers Sovereignty Through Mathematics Chapter 6: Scarcity

In this episode, we delve into the concept of scarcity, comparing it from multiple perspectives including American, British, and pirate. We discuss how scarcity relates to energy, time, value, and its local nature within a set framework. We also touch on the implications of this fixed supply on economies and the potential emancipation from state power through the separation of money and state. Don't miss our in-depth analysis of Bitcoin's revolutionary approach to digital scarcity!
