BITCOIN ADVOCACY
For Breedlove, Bitcoin is fundamentally a humanitarian movement exposing the greatest con in human history: central banking.
He is known for making controversial comparisons between central banking policies and historical atrocities.
He was inspired by Austrian economics and the teachings of Jordan Peterson, which helped him reconcile his purely objective outlook on reality with its more subjective dimensions of valuation, morality, and meaning.
He began investing in digital assets in 2015 and became an early investor in Ethereum.
His essay on The Number Zero and Bitcoin is a must-read and is among dozens of his profound writings in space.
