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.
