Comedian David Boyle takes you on a whirlwind journey in this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol'. Boyle's unique blend of humour and insight makes even the most complex topics accessible. He kicks off with the much-anticipated Bitcoin halving event, explaining how it cut Bitcoin production from 900 to 450 coins per day. Despite the buzz, the market reaction was surprisingly muted, leaving everyone in suspense about the future. Boyle’s take?
The real impact will unfold over the next six to eight months, so stay tuned for the long game. Next, Boyle dives into his latest read, 'When Money Dies', which chronicles the hyperinflation in Weimar Germany post-World War I. He draws eerie parallels between historical events and today’s economic climate, making you ponder if history is repeating itself. It's a stark reminder of how unchecked money printing can lead to economic disaster.
Switching gears, Boyle discusses 'Civil War', a film by Alex Garland that imagines a dystopian future where Texas and California secede from the US. Boyle’s takeaway? It feels alarmingly plausible and serves as a grim reflection on current societal divides. Throughout the episode, Boyle’s reflections are peppered with witty observations and candid thoughts, making for an engaging listen. Whether you’re a Bitcoin enthusiast, history buff, or just someone looking for a good laugh, this episode has something for you.
