Keep it up bro ... These conversations are life changing

[Cope_M]

Robert, this is SO good. It must have taken you forever to edit this. 🙏

A thought about money as an exchange for our time from a biblical perspective - Pharoah increased the burden of work for the Israelites because he saw their population growing and feared being overtaken. I think about this as it relates to our world today with the uprisings that are taking place around the world as debt and inflation rise. I can’t help to see the similarity. Exodus 5:4-23

I would also love your take, or someone’s, comparing Jesus anger at money changers in the temple to the parable of the talents with regard to usury. Matthew 21 vs 25, vs 27, especially.

Thank you for your effort. You are making a difference.

Money's job is to measure wealth. A small group had changed this, and the population went along with it.

[NoMoWarplz]

Fascinating exploration. Looking forward to more insightful discussions and diverse viewpoints on this crucial topic! 🚀👍

[crazyprayingmantis]

The most important question in the world today is, how in the hell is an old man with dementia the President of the United States of America?

[APC-pmon]

Most important question in life is 'what is my purpose in life'

[Jim]

Freedom is the most important thing money can buy.

[evianwahter]

WHen the lights go out they must contend with darkness.

[paulmanning]

Great vid. One to download and re-watch from time to time

[drewsmith]

“If you play stupid games you get stupid surprises” Pomp on blockfi the rocket ship🤣

[mitchigansmith]

My take is that real money is an abstraction of the fair exchange of standardised weights and measures of value.

[anthonyhyne]

“Everyone is leading a life of quiet desperation”, no one’s willing to talk about money .

[josephhensel]

Money is mostly an agreed upon method to exchange our time.

[timealchemist]

I really enjoyed this mashup. Such a diverse set of truths. It felt like a shotgun approach aimed at a paradoxical target… a bit like quantum mechanics. “It’s like a wave… but also a particle”

[DeathBeach]

Money is the asset that determines the distribution of all other assets

[evianwahter]

We can copy the pattern of the infinite and enable positional intelligence (or the off switch that surrounds).

[millenialmemoirs]

We are the remnant of an old lineage, forced into hiding for generations until 2008. We have the latest iteration of our chief weapon, but most still need to be brought back out of hibernation to wield it. Thanks for waking us back up, Robert.

[mixchemist]

This was a great interview montage with great speakers defining, "What is money?" - Keep em coming!

[ORIGINALJRL]

Awesome segment. It would be so awesome to be on your show and have this conversation. I feel like one day in a thousand years, your podcast will be looked at as the turning point for the way we use money

[shauntewary]

Money is a manifestation of Trust (Capital "T'), a promise. One might go further down the rabbit hole and consider money as Faith manifest in the physical. What if money is a sacred geometrical eruption of the Divine Mind? And if so, what are the implications of the rising of Bitcoin. A fascinating inquiry. Robert, your work is very much appreciated man.
