The Inflation Series: Hyperinflation Part 1: Ancient Hyperinflations, Weimar, and Zimbabwe and The Warnings They Provide

Listen to Luc and Nate banter, discuss, and often debate various topics including finance, politics, current events, ancient events, and everything in between. They tend to discuss Bitcoin a LOT but they promise there is always more than just Bitcoin in an episode. Also, the episodes usually consist of at least one garbage opinion by one of the cohosts but often many more. Don't get too offended by what either of them says because while they'd both readily admit that they'd rather be right they are often dead wrong.
