In this episode of Bitcoin Magazine’s “Fed Watch,” Christian Keroles and Ansel Lindner are back with an interview of the great Max Keiser. You do not want to miss this one! Kaiser is famous for his eclectic behavior, loud outbursts and incredibly successful investing career. This one started off with getting to know Keiser's background prior to Bitcoin. We try to answer the question: What was it that made him so receptive and able to understand Bitcoin almost immediately in its early days? In true Max Keiser form, within the first five minutes, he fleshed out the very big picture stuff, placing Bitcoin into a narrative of human evolution and as a technology that's redefining civilization. That is where we typically end our episodes, but Keiser beat us to the punch.We spent the rest of the show trying to drill down from that very broad civilizational brush, down to specific macro topics. Keiser can cover a lot of ground in a two- to three-minute response to a question — things we touched on along the way were the metaphysical revolution of bitcoin, inflation versus deflation, China, China versus the U.S., and of course, more about how Bitcoin fits into the future. One of the most interesting topics was Keiser's three Ds: deglobalization, dedollarization and depopulation. He spent a good amount of time going into each and laid out a cohesive view of the future. A bulk of the episode was discussing what 2021 has in store and where we are in a process toward his view of the future.This is a very thought-provoking episode. It gives even the most **** Bitcoin experts food for thought, while giving beginners a window to the bottom level of the bitcoin rabbit hole. The listener is left with the impression that Bitcoin is more than a simple piece of software, it is human-changing technology.This was a very fun episode. It not only tries to answer questions about specific macroeconomic issues, but also opens up minds to the potential that Bitcoin offers for solving these issues. Thanks for listening.

Compound interest was once regarded as the worst kind of usury and was severely condemned by Roman law and the common laws of many other countries.[6]The Florentine merchant Francesco Balducci Pegolotti provided a table of compound interest in his book Pratica della mercatura of about 1340. It gives the interest on 100 lire, for rates from 1% to 8%, for up to 20 years.[7] The Summa de arithmetica of Luca Pacioli (1494) gives the Rule of 72, stating that to find the number of years for an investment at compound interest to double, one should divide the interest rate into 72.Richard Witt's book Arithmeticall Questions, published in 1613, was a landmark in the history of compound interest. It was wholly devoted to the subject (previously called anatocism), whereas previous writers had usually treated compound interest briefly in just one chapter in a mathematical textbook. Witt's book gave tables based on 10% (the then maximum rate of interest allowable on loans) and on other rates for different purposes, such as the valuation of property leases. Witt was a London mathematical practitioner and his book is notable for its clarity of expression, depth of insight and accuracy of calculation, with 124 worked examples.[8][9]Jacob Bernoulli discovered the constant e {\displaystyle e} e in 1683 by studying a question about compound interest.In the 19th century, and possibly earlier, Persian merchants used a slightly modified linear Taylor approximation to the monthly payment formula that could be computed easily in their heads.[10]
More than 100 years later, how does the iconic board game compare to its original version?
The game’s little-known inventor, Elizabeth Magie, would no doubt have made herself go directly to jail if she’d lived to know just how influential today’s twisted version of her game has turned out to be. Why? Because it encourages its players to celebrate exactly the opposite values to those she intended to champion.
