The Joe Rogan Experience podcast episode #446 has a long and informative interview with Andreas Antonopoulos, a bitcoin expert who does a good job of explaining how the bitcoin money platform works and why "trust by computation" is a lot better than trusting banks (like drug cartel money launderer HSBC) and the federal reserve (which basically gives free money to the rich people who own the banks).
