The World's Borrower: Why Everyone Still Needs Dollars

What this episode argues
This is Season 2, Episode 5 of A Bit Rich, Rich's original series on money, Bitcoin and society. The film stays his; the notes below are TBA's editorial reading for people who arrive through the Journal.
Central idea: Imagine a bathtub you can only fill by leaving the tap running. Dollar system. Time-sensitive geopolitics may age. Watch the episode for Rich's full argument and sources; do not treat this page as a transcript or as investment, tax or legal advice.
What it leaves for TBA to continue: after the ideas in this episode, the next useful step on this site is usually the page that matches its job (/education-and-advisory), not a second article that repeats the video. Collaborative security, inheritance and continuity remain TBA's focus once someone understands why Bitcoin exists.
Time note: parts of this episode lean on recent figures or forecasts. Treat those as dated context. The educational frame can stay; the numbers may need a later Social and Compliance pass.
