Summary
Most people are asking whether Bitcoin is risky. But the better question is this: do we understand the money we already trust every single day? On this episode of The ThriveWell Journey Podcast, L. Michael Burt sits down with Eric Runge, founder of Veritas Bitcoin Strategies, to talk about Bitcoin, inflation, fiat currency, the U.S. dollar, financial trust, and what people need to understand before making decisions with money. This episode is not built on hype, panic, or quick financial promises. It is a grounded conversation about what happens when the cost of living rises, the dollar loses purchasing power, and more people ask whether Bitcoin belongs in long-term wealth. Eric breaks down fiat currency versus sound money, why the dollar is no longer backed by gold, why Bitcoin is often called digital gold, and why studying money matters before making investment decisions. Michael asks the questions many people have but may not know how to ask: What is Bitcoin? Why does it have value? How is it different from other cryptocurrencies? Should regular people pay attention? How do families, entrepreneurs, and investors prepare for a financial world changing faster than they realize? Money is not just numbers on a screen. It affects stress, family, retirement, business, opportunity, and how people plan their future. If you are trying to understand inflation, Bitcoin, the future of the dollar, or wealth in uncertain times, this episode will give you better questions and a stronger foundation.
