## Resource

In this episode of Cypherpunk'd, I sit down with author Knut Svanholm ( Everything Divided by 21 Million ) to discuss the terrifying link between central banking and global conflict. We explore the "Consensus Mechanism of Fiat"—World War—and why inflation isn't just an economic annoyance, but a form of modern-day slavery. If you’ve ever wondered why the world seems to be in a state of constant conflict, the answer might be in your wallet. We break down why consensual interactions are the only path to civilization, and how Bitcoin serves as "monetary armor" to finally make violence unprofitable. In this episode: The history of money printing & World War I Why "Fiat Slavery" is mathematically real (The 30% Tax logic) Alex Gladstein’s thesis on Monetary Colonialism Why Bitcoin is the ultimate defense against the state Connect with Knut: X: @knutsvanholm Book: Everything Divided by 21 Million Bitcoin #KnutSvanholm #FiatCurrency #Inflation #EndTheFed #Cypherpunk
