#124 – Peter Schiff & Robert Breedlove

In this episode of Opposing Views, I was joined by Peter Schiff and Robert Breedlove to discuss Bitcoin. We covered a range of topics like decentralization, the US dollar, and the risks involved with cryptocurrencies becoming increasingly popular. Both guests gave their opinion on whether Bitcoin is better than gold as a value standard – a prickly question because you have to consider, among other things, market forces, security, scarcity, inflation, and the potential for a new financial crisis.

Visa and Mastercard dropped them for apparently hosting child pornography and in response, Pornhub removed all non-verified videos, a total of over ten million videos. I decided to have a couple of people on to discuss whether or not porn and sex work is dangerous, harmful, and addictive or whether it’s a natural thing that should be decriminalized and even encouraged.
