Bitcoin Fixes This #74: Maker vs Takers with Jerry Bowyer

Author: Jimmy Song December 23, 2021 Duration: 1:15:35

Jerry Bowyer is an economist, investor and Christian. He is the author of the book The Maker versus the Takers, which takes a look at the economic context of what Jesus said in the Bible. We talk about the book, his reasons for studying the Bible in this way and how he thinks Christians should look into what was going on back then.


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.
