A year ago at the Madeira conference, I filmed an in-person interview. It was published today, and I think it's the best interview I did in 2024. It's documentary style, and so editing compressed it in a good way. This interview, focused on evergreen content, walks through the Broken Money thesis in 50 minutes, whereas the full Broken Money audiobook is over 17 hours. An exploration of monetary technology on history, and how it impacts us today socially, economically, and politically. As is usual for my interviews that appear on YouTube, I don't love the title. It mentions a "$13 trillion time bomb", which in the context of the interview referred to Brown University's estimate for what the War on Terror will have cost by 2050, with interest expense. But the content was key. My most locked-in interview of 2024.

Anything I have seen from @Lyn Alden has always been worth my time.

Thanks Lyn, looking forward to watching later 🙏👍
Thanks for the honest feedback - happy to adjust the title @Lyn Alden Which one would you set it to? An alternative I could see: “Lyn Alden’s Whole Broken Money Theory in under 50 mins” Let me know and I’ll change it accordingly.
lol I would’ve felt a little embarrassed to share it with the previous title. I agree, factual title better. The other one was a bit sensational (negative emotions, violence) #my2cents

How about “ @Lyn Alden explains and solves the Triffin Dilemma in less than an hour” with a thumbnail of Lyn dropping a microphone
