Jeff is speaking facts. Banks issue loans by monetizing debt. The dollar is a centralized and standardized instrument of monetized debt. All debt is collatoralized with assets (this is true of sovereign, secured and unsecured loans), therefore the promise to repay a debt is the mechanism by which an asset is converted into currency. The reason Jeff says "I don't know what money is" is because many things are money, and when you're talking about the dollar its a very complex form of money supported by a network of trust all the way down the individual or business willing to repay a loan.
If the phrase "The master will appear when the student is ready" couldn't be more true here. Jeff is the master.

and he is absolutely right that there is supply side induced inflation and not monetary inflation.
quantitative easing does not equal money printing and the federal reserve is really only there to be a bank for the US gov.

listen to this with the premise that:" bitcoin is pristine collateral and currently there is a lack of good collateral because everyone is over leveraged and over indebted"
under that premise you can see why bitcoin is a "monetary irresponsibility hedge" NOT an inflation hedge.
It will replace government bonds as ultimate balance sheet liquidity.
^^this is the narrative we need to be promoting. Hard money is pristine liquid collateral. Bitcoin is ultimate collateral.

Yes I think this chart makes very clear that the investment thesis for Bitcoin the asset is as a hedge against monetary debasement from the central bankers (the US Fed in particular).

Well this podcast fucked my brain. Do we all just not know anything? Everyone is just lying to everyone? or is it even lying if they believe it to be the truth?
There is just plainly too much disinformation in money right now. Bitcoin fixes this.

Check out "The Fiat Standard" by Saifedean Ammous if you want to learn more about how fucked up the fiat system is.

Great read. As usual, Saif drifts a bit into hater mode on some chapters, but the initial review of the exact events and dates around how the Bank of England started decoupling from the gold standard around 1914 are an incredible read.

I refuse to listen to WDB, or support that charlatan fense sitting bitcoin DJ Wackormack, but I did listen to Jeff on a host of podcasts where the host can actually contribute to the conversation and I have to say this guy just always throws me for a loop, I don't know what to believe

May I suggest you do give this episode a listen though?
Basically, this one episode is a short version of the "Eurodollar University" podcast series by Macro Voices.
