Fwiw, you are ahead of the game as far as realizing that de facto, we are in the early stages of being forced onto digital currency. I wish we could just start calling crypto DBDC(decentralized bank digital currencies), because that us effectively what they are.

Each coin is essentially positioning itself as a pseudo-bank in the sense of acting like a capital pool for investment and speculation. I have yet to hear a good argument from the crypto community as to why Michael Saylor's Bitcoin bank is a better place to store my money than say, Jaime Dimon's JPM, other than that I might get lucky and discover that my "money" mooned for some reason, although you can suffer that fate the other way too, something less often mentioned by boosters.

To me, crypto is like AI. I can see why it excites people, and the potential there, but things aren't even close to a stage of maturity yet.

One more now that I finished listening. The last 5 minutes are some of the most important words said by a guest. The time has come to stop running from problems. So much of this is because the pols of the Boomers and Silents thought every problem was best solved by burying it it the back yard and forgetting about it until it was someone else's problem.

The meltup started spring of 2025. Hyperinflation will overtake all efforts at extending this ponzi. The proverbial 5 million $ loaf of bread will be here by spring 2027 if they lower rates dramatically and print promiscuously one more time

Love your guest, Mike. Completely agree with 95 percent of all of his points. It is a battle between good and evil. Puzzling how intelligent, honorable men, like him and jack Kruse, fail to see that bitcoin is a crucial tool strengthening the side of evil

Agree. It's fascinating how no one in the crypto scene seems to acknowledge that Bitcoin is going to be the poison pill that leads all to the digital monitoring state.

Currency where as soon as one transaction is known the entire purchase chain from that unit's entire lifetime is exposed? Pass
