Listen "Episode 6: Medicine is Broken. Bitcoin Can Fix It."
Episode Synopsis
This week on The Bitcoin Fellowship, we sit down with Dr. Ahmad Ammous — physician and brother of economist Dr. Saifedean Ammous, author of The Bitcoin Standard.Ahmad shares his journey through medicine, how early exposure to Bitcoin shaped his thinking, and why he believes our healthcare system is fundamentally broken. We explore the history of centralized medicine, the fiat incentives that distort patient care, and how hard money and low time preference thinking could radically improve outcomes.From specialty silos and the erosion of clinical trust to the global implications of Bitcoin for healthcare systems — this conversation pulls no punches.We also dive into Ahmad’s personal research on circadian rhythm and light exposure, with practical advice to improve your health starting today — whether you’re orange-pilled or not.If you’ve ever wondered how money and medicine intersect — or why so many doctors are finding hope in Bitcoin — this one’s for you.—🎙 Chapters:00:00 – Bitcoin: The Ultimate Fix?00:30 – Meet Dr. Ahmad Ammous02:51 – Why Medicine Feels Broken05:19 – Bitcoin Sparks a Wake-Up Call12:07 – Escaping the Medical Matrix21:17 – The Art of Medicine vs AI29:50 – History of Centralized Medicine33:07 – Free Market Medicine34:31 – Bitcoin Frees Your Career44:46 – Work Ethic and Family Values46:47 – Medicine is Fiat53:47 – Orange Pilling at Work54:57 – Bitcoin is More Than NGU1:04:11 – Life Balance in Anesthesia + Bitcoin1:08:09 – Does Dr. A Recommend The Bitcoin Standard?1:10:21 – Health Benefits of Sunlight1:12:41 – Where to Find Dr. Ammous—🔗 Find Dr. Ahmad Ammous🌐 Website: www.ammousmd.com📬 X: @AmmousMD🎧 Follow The Bitcoin Fellowship📬 X: @OrangePillDocs🎥 Watch on YouTube | Listen on X | More platforms coming soon—🎵 Music: “Energy” by Nick PetrovLicense code: 3VCABEG2LJBSTYRTSource: bensound.com/free-music-for-videos—📢 Disclaimer: This conversation is for informational purposes only and is not financial or medical advice.
