Break The Stake: How Corrupted Money Steals Your Energy - Jake Galt | Ep.163

Jake Galt is a recovering CPA turned author, marketer and entrepreneur who writes under a pen name borrowed from Atlas Shrugged. He began his career as an auditor and that front row seat to the hollowness of the fiat system sent him down the Bitcoin rabbit hole, first for the technology, then for number go up, and eventually for freedom go up. He is the author of “Break the Stake” which we discuss in this episode: a framework for how corrupted money produces corrupted incentives and inverted outcomes across every layer of society. He founded Headcount, a marketing agency built on a platform that ingests a client's brand and voice, aimed at Bitcoin companies. → Please like, comment, share & subscribe, to help me beat the suppressing algo's.
