#066 - Matthew Mezinskis - War & Money: Why Europe Can’t Rely on America Anymore

Matthew Mežinskis is a macroeconomic researcher, Bitcoin educator, and host of the podcast Crypto Voices, known for his deep analysis of global monetary policy, central banking, and the intersection of money and geopolitics. Based in Eastern Europe with a background in both American and Latvian perspectives, Matthew brings a rare clarity to complex economic systems and the forces shaping global power.

In this interview, Matthew breaks down why Europe can no longer rely on the United States, the dangers of monetary expansion, and how authoritarianism is rising across the West. We discuss the Ukraine war, the myth of neutrality in global politics, and how inflation and asset bubbles have quietly hollowed out the middle class. Matthew explains why Bitcoin may be the only true escape hatch, how power is shifting from West to East, and what history teaches us about debt, sovereignty, and economic collapse.
