For this episode I spoke with Jonathan Harris (@jonone100) aka Money Burning Guy who was recently featured as a panelist at the Consensus: Distributed conference on their panel Soft Money hosted by Joon Ian Wong and Annaliese Milano and was joined by Brett Scott, who was last episode’s guest. Jonathan is the author of The Money Burner’s Manual, the ultimate guide to how and why you should burn your money in a ritual sacrifice.
In the episode we discuss and make sense of Jonathan’s seemingly strange ideas around money and the importance of burning it whether it be in the form of cash, cryptocurrency, or central bank digital currency (CBDC). We also talk about the Church of Burn, the cult that burns money as a sacrificial ritual which when you think about it, isn’t as weird as the religion of capitalism. At the end Jonathan then leads me through my own spiritual money burning ritual where I burn my own twenty pound note (BD27 774521). For the money burning at the end, there is a patreon exclusive video where you can see the money burning ritual since on the podcast you can only listen to it.
