Bitcoin Fixes This #54: Military Industrial Complex with Scott Horton

Author: Jimmy Song August 12, 2021 Duration: 1:07:12

Scott Horton is an author, podcaster and antiwar activist. We talk about his book, “Enough Already,” the history of US intervention in the Middle East and the sequence of events that got us into the mess we’re in. Scott also tells us about how he got into this topic, why the stories we heard from the press were not at all what the reality on the ground was and how the US has been completely hypocritical and clueless when it comes to the Middle East.


Jimmy Song hosts Bitcoin Fixes This, a conversation that goes far beyond price charts and mining rigs. Here, the focus is on the deeper societal shifts that this technology enables, examining how its foundational principles challenge and reshape our assumptions about money, trust, and individual sovereignty. Each episode digs into a specific facet of our world-from art and law to energy and governance-asking the pointed question implied by the title. You’ll hear detailed analysis and thoughtful dialogue on the mechanics of Bitcoin as well as its philosophical underpinnings, exploring the often-overlooked consequences of a verifiable and scarce digital good. This isn't just a technical explainer; it's a series of explorations into the ripple effects moving through finance, culture, and personal freedom. For anyone curious about why this innovation sparks such passionate debate, this podcast provides a grounded, serious look at its potential to redefine systems we often take for granted. Tune in for perspectives that connect code to concrete change in our everyday lives.
