Drawing on Neil Flesher’s Modern Chains, he analyzes how inflation, surveillance, and geographic restrictions extract labor and privacy. True wealth isn’t measured in fiat, but in the freedom to opt out. Michael explores the three awakenings required to reclaim autonomy: achieving financial sovereignty through 100% self-custody, protecting privacy in a surveillance state, and securing the freedom to move. If you believe there’s no middle ground between full sovereignty and economic slavery, this is your call to action: take your Bitcoin into 100% self-custody, opt out of the surveillance state, and prepare to move. The real yield on Bitcoin was never measured in dollars — it’s freedom. ================= ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 The Reality of Economic Slavery 0:53 Why Bitcoiners Opt Out of the System 2:23 The Inflation Trap and Central Bank Dilution 6:19 Underst… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-bitcoin-way-podcast-6843432/episodes/the-yield-on-bitcoin-is-freedom-michael-jordan-at-btc-prague-2026/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-bitcoin-way-podcast-6843432/the-yield-on-bitcoin-is-freedom-michael-jordan-at-btc-prague-2026.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
