The pound is designed to lose value. That’s not a conspiracy theory - it’s called an inflation target, and it’s built into the system.

Cameron Parry, CEO and founder of Tally Money, joins Jordan at Antidote in London to talk about what sound money actually looks like, why gold and Bitcoin are solving the same problem from different angles, and what it means to hold your savings in something nobody can debase.
