Business Rundown: What's Behind The Bitcoin Selloff?

The speaker wrote this book because people who are new to Bitcoin can get nervous during drawdowns, suggesting they don't understand it enough. The book aims to help people zoom out and understand Bitcoin as a long-term savings technology that protects against debasement, with the first half focusing on inflation and the problems in the current financial system.

"

We need to ask these big questions we've never been asking. We can't just blame all the rise in chronic diseases on obesity and people not listening to our instructions as doctors. We've got to look at a poison food supply and a toxic environment.

24 years ago, the American Academy of Pediatrics saw some peanut allergies out there in the population. Most were mild, and they were rare. They decided to tell parents, you can avoid a peanut allergy by having your kids abstain from peanut butter or any peanut products for three years after they're born. That advice was catastrophic.

One of the biggest screw-ups in modern medicine was saying that hormone replacement therapy for women going through menopause causes cancer.

50 million women have been denied hormone therapy because of that false claim.

I wrote Blindspot so I could educate people about the truth on so many giant health recommendations that are either wrong or they should be reversed and have not been reversed because the science has challenged them.
