## Resource

While skeptics tend to dismiss Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a fad that is only useful for speculation, they overlook the important role the digital currency plays in breaking the government's stranglehold on the market for money. As the Federal Reserve continues to debase the value of the dollar, eating away at the savings of hardworking Americans, Bitcoin is an inflation-proof solution that also offers privacy and security. Matt Kibbe is joined by author and economist Saifedean Ammous, the man responsible for interesting Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) in Bitcoin, to discuss the future of cryptocurrency and its applications for building a better, freer world.
