FREE MARKETS vs GOVERNMENT | Dave Bradley (THE Bitcoin Podcast)

"The free market will vastly outperform anything the government can do."

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Dave Bradley about the legitimacy of the state, why the modern State cannot go on much longer, why decentralization beats centralization, what the State looks like on a Bitcoin standard, the law, property rights, and why a minimal government approach would lead to better outcomes than the collectivist models of the past century.
