In this episode, Timot Lamarre (former football coach at Stanford and MIT, ex-Silicon Valley Bank) reads his latest Bitcoin and Football article, "The Currency of the Clock." Using a football timeout as the central metaphor, Timot breaks down how disciplined teams save timeouts for critical moments, and what happens when the rules change mid-game and everyone suddenly gets unlimited timeouts. It's a way to understand monetary inflation: how expanding the money supply quietly transfers value from savers to debtors, why high time preference takes hold when saving is disincentivized, and why bitcoin's fixed, unchangeable rule set (no one, not governments, not central banks, can alter the supply) makes it fundamentally different from fiat currency. Timot closes with a quick note on what's coming next for the show.
