In the grand scheme of things it's a minor detail, but they clearly didn't study the history of digital money:

>For a long time, people have tried to create a form of digital money independent of state-backed currencies. But they have always failed because no-one could trust them. They would always need someone in charge who could manipulate the supply, and forgery was too easy.

There have been some rather successful attempts at creating digital money. E-gold, Liberty Reserve. The problem was never that someone might manipulate the supply, but censorship resistance. All the successful players in this space ended up getting shut down by governments, cryptocurrency solved this little detail.

Clearly they just regurgitated some cryptocurrency pitch without doing much fact checking.

The one that immediately jumps to mind (it’s a while since I listened to it) was where they interview a Dutch MLM-guy and just report his wild stories as facts, without having spent time to have others vet it. It’s a fantastic story, but framed as a journalistic piece which it was not.
