Building the Future of Bitcoin Banking w/ Hubertus Hofkirchner (JWP47)

In Episode 47 of The Jake Woodhouse Podcast, I’m joined by Hubertus Hofkirchner to explore the fundamentals of Austrian economics, how Jeff Booth’s deflationary thesis fits into a sound money future, and the history of free banking. We discuss the destructive incentives of inflationary credit and unpack Hubertus’ new project, BitCredit: a free market lending protocol built on Bitcoin rails. We cover its real-world applications, long-term implications for savings and entrepreneurship, and how deregulating banking could lead to a more honest and efficient economy.
