## Resource

Nick Hudson joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about how billionaire bankers spent 150 years building the institutional framework of socialism to centralize control of assets, his personal persecution by professional bodies and intelligence assets for questioning the COVID narrative, and why extreme fragmentation of ownership through stock markets destroys sound stewardship. Knut and Nick explore the parallels between Austrian economics and Bitcoin's design philosophy, the epistemological case against central planning, and why programmable CBDCs destroy the fungibility that makes money function.
