In Episode 52 of The Jake Woodhouse Podcast, Dr. Tarik Sammour and I explore why the free market struggles to fix healthcare and how Bitcoin might reshape medicine. Tarik shares insights from his life as a surgeon, why cancer is a “software problem”, how time preference affects health, saving in Bitcoin vs property speculation, and the link between using sound money and having a sound body and mind.
