Hello everyone! Passionate about bitcoin since 2018, I developed an inclination towards economics and hyperinflation. I strive to share my passion through the ECON204 course on hyperinflation and also through my book "Tous sur Bitcoin". Looking forward to discussing with you at the upcoming bitcoin conferences!

David St-Onge gave a didactic view of Hyperinflation process along different realities worldwide and time periods in history showing similarities in processes with more than 90 years of difference. Great work, and you can see his passion in this topic based on his amazing coins, notes, promissory notes, etc. collection. Thank you so much Sir David St-Onge.
