HBA thoroughly enjoyable, wide-ranging listen. Cheers RV.

MHWhat a fascinating interview between two very intelligent individuals; perhaps th best I have seen. (68 yr old Bitcoin & Gold holding Brit who worries deeply about the future).
-
DMThis guy doesn't strike me as a valuable voice in the space. I've heard two episodes of his podcast now where he states in the introduction that he hasnt read his guests book, even though they're on his show to plug and discuss said book. His lack of knowledge on many things is very obvious, seems like hes in the right place at the right time and that's about it.
-
SGThis is more one person’s discovery of bitcoin and his story. Which is fine, but the title and description is misleading.

KBI am 30 mins in and it is clear nothing is going to be explained to this novice. They are now talking British politics. I was hoping to learn why a Bitcoin has value (I am at the stage where you solve a mathematical problem and win a token called Bitcoin which somehow has value). What are the safest ways to buy it. Seems to be some shady sellers and better not forget your password. He says Bitcoin is hard money because its supply is limited. What about forking? or Bitcoin cash? As I said, I understand none of this, but was hoping for some answers here. Disappointed.
-
MMCould not finish it. Painful. My favorite quote "I'm not financially literate." Good luck with the podcast and great that you stumbled upon BTC!
-
JDGreat chat. Bitcoin (BTC) is the only way out of all this mess. Peter understood it early and avoided all the scams, kudos for that.
-
TDGood interview, very poor cameras
-
SMWith a title like this, one would expect an interview with someone who actually went from a novice to a pro.

JSAsh saved the interview from going: "One toke over the Line" at one point during the cannabis discussion. It was a refreshing view from across the pond and Ash's questioning kept it more focused on topic 1: Bitcoin.

FTIt doesn't take a professional economist to understand the silliness of a magic, debt-based system. From 1865 to 1900, the US was operating much closer to what people would consider a Free Market without major government intervention, and during that deflationary period, wages went up, working hours went down, and the "cost of currency" increased. MMT proponents would scoff at the idea, but it's historical fact; as Ash said here, the negative effects of inflation are now a widely debated topic, which is absurd. Well, I expected this video to be more about Bitcoin as a technology, but I enjoyed hearing Peter's take on macroeconomics. It just shines a light on how ridiculous and overly-complicated the system is. Economists in academia are seriously confusing the entire space, when if they just took a look at history, it's easy to see that every time Free Markets and sound money are polluted by government inflation and currency debasement, it never ever leads anywhere good...*sigh* if only Milton Friedman were still around to comment on Bitcoin, that'd be quite the interview!

SLThe US political system is broken on all sides simply because our leaders are unable to be leaders. What I mean by this, is these leaders start with one hand tied behind their backs due to party allegiances. But mostly these so call leaders are simply unable to understand and keep up with the rates of societal / technological change. This leaves out the distracting point that some are simply devoted to their careers more than service to others.
-
RTI like the specific examples given by Peter of how Bitcoin is used in Belarus and Nigeria to surmount monetary limitations (or potentially even conventional institutional controls). The case about how the social divide affects Bitcoin adoption in Venezuela is an interesting but very practical view. Peter is indeed a good story-teller. I find him pretty engaging and easy to follow. And as with all other discussion sessions involving Ash, his calm demeanour and pertinent questions make him a really good interviewer.
-
CMThanks for guiding this conversation Ash! You're starting to sound like an investigative journalist yourself given how the depth of your understanding on a plethora of topics has continued to grow and allow you to engage guests accordingly. It's been an amazing journey to watch these skills grow and develop over time with RV and I'm endlessly grateful to be on the receiving end of such amazing intellectual conversation... Suffice to say, thanks!

JLexcellent...refreshing to hear the road a non-finance guy has taken plus Ash let it flow.
-
LMOne of the best I’ve listened to. Covered a wide range and Ash was excellent. He let the discussion flow.
-
MWGreat channel but this is rather too much about politics and less about bitcoin. To the people that did not like the interview please listen to this guys podcast (what bitcoin did) as he does have many great conversations with many experts in bitcoin and much can be learned from his shows which number over 200 currently.

MSA great interview by Ash. I keep thinking of the “framework “ that Raoul discusses about investing. I see this in the questions and follow ups throughout this interview. Well done. Peter was honest and thoughtful in highlighting his journey down this rabbit hole. I could see parallels to my own journey as a Perot voter to BTC maximalist. I actually thought about the PBS Frontline show that showcased Brooksley Born as they discussed Glass-Steagel. I feel both Stephan and Peter’s interviews should have been trimmed as they both seemed to lose focus for me. I turned both off around 35 minutes in. Perhaps spread out the podcasters

AKLove Pete. For the people complaining that he is a novice. The mere fact that he is humble enough to call himself one does not mean that he actually is. Spending time with Raoul, Preston Pysh, Rober Breedlove and Matt and Marty will eventually rub off. His knowledge in Macro and Crypto is vast, and his viewpoint carries a lot of weight. If you want something else you can find a lot of "experts" in suits talking about treasuries, they are ready to take you on a one way express ride to Rekkt City any time you want. Increasing you ability to be humble is something a lot of people in the comment section could take an learn from Pete.
-
KFSo nice to see an "average guy" and how finance is changing his life. Ash is a great interviewer!

scLoved this interview; one of the most interesting for a long time...
-
LCAsh, you are a fantastic interviewer - credit where it’s due. Really enjoyed this.
-
CWwell done guys, great interview

PLAsh, Peter. Thank you very much for one of the most engaging and refreshing interviews ever on RVtv. This is an absolute gem of a conversation. I’m going to ensure that my kids listen to this. Note to RV: Peter is clearly a busy guy but his approach would be a huge addition to the channel if you could persuade him back to interview some people. Thanks again.
