TD₿: Is QE Infinity Inevitable? - (a video from Pacific Bitcoin 2023) with Greg Foss
TL;DR: Live from the Hard Money stage at Pacific Bitcoin Festival 2023, Greg Foss, Preston Pysh, James Lavish, and Lawrence Lepard discuss QE, and the status of the USD as the world reserve currency.
Hey Bitcoiner’s,
At the Pacific Bitcoin Festival 2023, Greg Foss led a panel with Preston Pysh, James Lavish, and Lawrence Lepard to discuss the precarious and vulnerable place the U.S. dollar finds itself amid rising debt levels as a world reserve currency. The perpetual cycle of QE required to keep the fractional reserve system of musical chairs is slowly ending…
A Bitcoin Standard system means several chairs, not just one, will be left when the music stops. Each chair represents a sovereign wealth fund backed by the thermodynamics of SHA256 computation - not nation-state-backed promissory fiat currencies of legalized fraud.
Watch the entire panel discussion, but also join the conversion with us! Meet and chat with the panelists at the Pacific Bitcoin Festival 2024.
Tick tock next block,

Job of the Day
The Company
Swan is a leading Bitcoin-only financial services company supporting individuals and companies throughout their Bitcoin journey. We hire passionate Bitcoiner’s who want to work with a self-motivated and fully distributed startup team.
The Role
Last year, Swan announced the intent to launch a Bitcoin-only trust company. Now, we are working toward building a pipeline of highly qualified individuals to help us lead this company.
The trust company will embark on the mission of onboarding the world’s Bitcoin-only clients ranging from wealth managers, family offices, institutions, and beyond while innovating in Bitcoin-only custody initiatives such as multi-institutional custody and other new forms of collaborative and conditional custody enabled by Bitcoin native technology.
The company will maintain complete legal separation from Swan, and have its own management structure separate from Swan, while having the benefit of access to Swan’s broader resources (with more than 150 employees overall).
We are looking for a Director of Financial Operations to lead the function of the trust company. This early hire will play a pivotal role in building, developing, overseeing, and optimizing the financial operations of the trust company. This leadership position requires a seasoned finance professional with a deep understanding of fiduciary services, regulatory compliance, and a proven track record of driving financial and operational excellence.
This is a startup-phase tech company role that must balance the fast paced needs of a startup with the regulatory and risk needs of a trust company managing billions of dollars in AUM. The ideal candidate will have experience in rapidly changing high growth environments, be comfortable with wearing many hats, and be able to rapidly jump levels from hands-on review of new initiatives, to vendor selection, to conversations with management and regulators.
