Jordan Peterson bought more Bitcoin to hedge against inflation

Canadian psychology professor Jordan Peterson has increased his BTC holdings after a conversation with Dr. Saifedean Ammous, in which he said Bitcoin is the "most disruptive technology against inflation."

The psychologist interviewed the author of "The Bitcoin Standard"

Jordan Peterson - a clinical psychologist and a well-known YouTube personality - interviewed the author of "The Bitcoin Standard" - Dr. Saifedean Ammous. Shortly after the interview, Peterson admitted that he learned a lot from Dr. Ammous. As a result, he has invested a more significant portion of his wealth in Bitcoin. They discussed the merits of Bitcoin and how the leading digital asset can help in the coming times of rising inflation. Dr. Ammous claimed that Bitcoin is the better version of gold because you do not have to worry about the coin containing base metal.

During the interview Peterson also elaborated on the anonymous creator of Bitcoin Satoshi Nakamoto. He expressed his concerns about how a mysterious person can develop such a project out of thin air and asked Ammous why people should believe in this concept. Getting to the point of why BTC is the right financial tool against inflation, Dr. Ammous explained: "Bitcoin is essentially the most powerful defensive technology against inflation. It's an enormous quantum leap forward in the technology of money as protection of value against predation and inflation. I think it's a natural fit to anybody who is productive and wants to save their value into the future."

Jordan Peterson has been interested in Bitcoin for a while

Earlier this year, Peterson had also released a podcast titled "Bitcoin: The Future of Money?" which featured a group of Bitcoiners. However, the psychologist was active in the space much earlier, as he started accepting BTC donations back in 2018 after being boycotted by Patreon due to free speech issues. Even though Peterson has been active in the crypto space for quite some time, it looks like he wants to learn more about Bitcoin and continue having conversations about digital currencies.

American billionaire Barry Sternlicht recently admitted that he has personally invested in BTC as it is a monetary instrument against the mass printing of fiat currencies. Another supporter of Bitcoin and its anti-inflationary properties is Paul Tudor Jones. The billionaire even ranked cryptocurrency as a better financial instrument than gold.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

Why is there no trial or refund policy?

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.

Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?

Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.

How often is content updated?

Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
