Bitcoin Breaking Into Traditional Finance

Author: Brad Mills April 27, 2021 Duration: 2:08:20
Brad Mills invites financial expert Greg Foss onto the show to talk about Bitcoin breaking into traditional finance. Greg discusses his 30 years of experience in the field of engineering and finance. Greg further explains to Brad the differences between a closed end fund and an ETF, and why a closed end fund in Canada is a big step for Bitcoin. The two debate about the current financial system; Brad on the side that it’s a ponzi scheme casino and Greg on the side of mathematics. Finally the duo speculate about the current state of the Canadian economy, and what Bitcoin might be able to do to help.

Hosted by Brad Mills, Magic Internet Money is a conversation about Bitcoin from the ground up. Brad isn't a programmer or a Wall Street analyst; he's an early adopter who examines this technology through the lens of an everyday user. This perspective shapes the entire podcast, focusing on practical understanding over technical jargon. You'll hear discussions that frame Bitcoin as more than an investment-exploring its role as programmable money for the internet, a peer-to-peer cash system, and what many call digital gold. The show digs into why this open-source invention is viewed as a foundational shift, touching on its potential as an uncensorable tool for free speech and a new store of value. Episodes connect the dots between technology, personal sovereignty, and financial self-improvement, making complex ideas accessible. It’s for anyone curious about how Bitcoin intersects with business, technology, and daily life, presented without pretense. Tune in for straightforward talk about what this digital asset class means for the future, all from someone who believes it's the best form of money we've ever seen.
