<p><a href="https://www.trace.com/">Trace Mayer</a> sits down with Mike Peterson in El Salvador for an impromptu conversation about monetary sovereignty, Bitcoin's role as legal tender, and the transformation happening under President Bukele. They discuss the history of sound money from gold to Bitcoin, how inflation is a hidden form of theft, the importance of Proof of Keys for verifying exchange solvency, and how the Fourth Turning and geopolitical shifts are accelerating Bitcoin adoption at the nation-state level.
