This episode of The Bitcoin Effect steps away from our usual focus on markets and monetary policy to ask a deeper question:
What are we really celebrating on the Fourth of July?
Shot across summer scenes in St. Joseph, Michigan, this episode reflects on the Declaration of Independence—not just as a historical document, but as a radical philosophy of human freedom.
We revisit the ideas that sparked a revolution:
🔹 That all people are created equal
🔹 That our rights come from God, not government
🔹 That governments exist only by the consent of the governed
These weren’t just poetic ideals—they were lines drawn in the sand.
If we ever abandon those principles, what exactly do we think we’ll find that’s better?
