The Big Red Button That’s Destroying Your Future
Aug 22, 2025
Joe Bryan, creator of the monetary education series "What's the Problem," joins Jackson Mikalic, Brian Cubellis, and Liam Nelson to trace his journey from derivatives trading at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to becoming a full-time Bitcoin educator. Joe explains the big red button metaphor — how governments repeatedly resort to deficit spending and money creation, destroying the purchasing power of savers and young people over time. He walks through his framework for understanding inflation as a policy choice rather than a natural phenomenon, and why Bitcoin's fixed supply is the only credible remedy. The episode serves as both a primer on monetary dysfunction and a compelling case for why financial education around Bitcoin matters now more than ever.
