In our first interview with Jimmy Song, he explained how our monetary systems are debased by fiat, or creating money from nothing, and the implications of this economic fraud.

Sadly, much of the Christian Church has adopted the same mentality as our corrupt monetary systems. This perverts incentives around fundraising, ministry, and building projects, as well as diluting the gospel in order to maintain financial support.

Jimmy, the author of the book Fiat Ruins Everything: How Our Financial System Is Rigged and How Bitcoin Fixes This, discusses the implications of a fiat currency mindset infiltrating the Church and what you can do to improve things in your own sphere of influence.
