How Broken Money Distorts Reality | Seb Bunney

<p>Seb Bunney joins the show for a conversation about broken money, distorted reality maps, and why Bitcoin might be the only force capable of realigning society. </p> <p>We get into his personal journey from mountain-bike coaching in Whistler and realising hard work no longer pays, to discovering how central banks, misaligned incentives, and financialisation quietly shape everything from housing and family life to politics and culture. Seb explains why so many young people are turning to socialism, why democracies can’t change course, and how separating money and state could be the only viable path forward. </p> <p>Seb also breaks down his new essay The Curated World — exploring linguistic control, scientific gatekeeping, suppressed technologies, the Invention Secrecy Act, and why “the map is not the territory.” We dig into Bitcoin’s role as a truth-seeking mechanism, what happens when incentives flip from intervention to value creation, and how free markets, energy breakthroughs, and longer lifespans could transform civilisation far beyond money.</p> <p><strong>THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.iren.com/"><strong>IREN</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.anchorwatch.com/"><strong>ANCHORWATCH</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://mining.blockwaresolutions.com/wbd"><strong>BLOCKWARE</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://ledn.io/?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=partnership&utm_campaign=2025_whatbitcoindid&utm_content=ad_read"><strong>LEDN</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://bitkey.world/"><strong>BITKEY</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.swan.com/wbd"><strong>SWAN</strong></a></p> <p><strong>FOLLOW</strong>:</p> <p>Danny Knowles: <a href="https://x.com/%5C_DannyKnowles"><strong>https://x.com/\_DannyKnowles</strong></a> or <a href="https://primal.net/danny"><strong>https://primal.net/danny</strong></a></p> <p>Seb Bunney: <a href="https://x.com/sebbunney"><strong>https://x.com/sebbunney</strong></a></p>
