Tornado Cash Suit is not about Privacy - E366

Live streams YouTube: Rumble: Twitter Links and charts: Telegram FREE weekly newsletter Fountain app: LIKE AND COMMENT!! This episode is an excerpt from Fed Watch last week. We are discussing Tornado Cash's latest legal action. I have a quite strong opinion on this because we have given up the cypherpunk ethos to whining about obvious government crackdown. Do something about it. Be Satoshi. Launch your stuff without profiting from it. If you build a business around it, it's not decentralized and you should expect to get taken down. It's not right, but there is a reason these things are decentralized. Enjoy. Links / --- Got value from the show? Support directly!

BRICS Currency Disaster - E357

Live streams YouTube: Rumble: Twitter Links and charts: Telegram FREE weekly newsletter Fountain app: LIKE AND COMMENT!! This episode is an excerpt from the end of Friday's Live Stream. Afterwards, I stayed on to chat more with the community on Telegram and the topic was the BRICS currency. Many people are saying the BRICS will launch a new currency to rival the dollar, but that idea is so hilarious I had to speak about it. You can't just launch a new currency, it must be adopted by the market slowly over years and years. You don't just flip the switch and expect it not to get attacked and destroyed. That is why it is taking Bitcoin so long to become naturally adopted. Enjoy. Links --- Got value from the show? Support directly!

What's Going On In Macro !!??? Charts and More - Live 5/31/23 | E349

Full show notes with links and charts: Telegram Twitter FREE weekly newsletter In this episode, I try to cover macro charts of important assets and price signals. Many people get deep into the weeds of macro when they should be able to simply look at the charts and evaluate where we are. Many people will claim that charts can lie to you, and that the market is a random walk, but that is absolutely false. Instead, they will claim some extra-ordinary ability to read the charts of "fundamentals", which is just one more step removed from doing analysis directly on the price. I remember a couple years ago, I was using a Google Search Trends chart and drawing a line on it to show a breakout in attention for bitcoin. Someone remarked, "we're doing TA on Google Trends now?" Any "metric" or fundamental is going to be presented versus previous data/history. It is technical analysis on a derivative of price believe it or not. Better to look directly at price, it'll have all the information needed IF you are approaching the market with a proper understanding of how things work. Enjoy. Links --- Got value from the show?

Crypto Scammers Gaslight about SEC Clarity - Daily Live from 4/19/23 | E344

Full show notes with links and charts: Telegram Twitter FREE weekly newsletter This episode was recorded on April 19, 2023. The original full live stream can be seen here: . In this one, I react to Gary Gensler in front of Congress, discuss Chinese debt to GDP vs other economies, and the possibility of a rotation back into equities for the remainder of the year. You've probably seen the Gensler videos, but I link them below. The main through-line of my reaction is that it is a lie that there is no clarity on the question of altcoins being unregistered securities, it is just that the purveyor of those securities don't want to accept it. Bitcoiners have clearly stated why for years and now the SEC is going after people. That's all that needs to be said, it is pretty common sense. The lack of clarity, or uncertainty, out there in the market is from the gaslighting of purveyors of those unregistered securities. Next, I discuss the Chinese debt to GDP nightmare. It is simply astonishing the level to which China is built on a house of cards. Lastly, I talk about the market in general being overweight bonds relative to equities, and if we don't get the massive crisis recession everyone is expecting soon, we could see the rotation back into equities.

I go over the news of the week, but the topics and discussion is ever-green content. You can find the whole version here: . I start by pointing out the silliness of gold bugs continuing to champion a gold-backed digital currency. This is not new, and can't work. They also misunderstand what a CBDC is. They think it will lead to a "cashless" society, when a CBDC is a digital form of cash! Next, we talk about other news like Russia becoming the second largest bitcoin miner and setting the stage for great power competition over bitcoin mining, Bitcoin Stamps as a new protocol for storing stuff on the bitcoin network, the dedollarization derangement syndrome, and finally a bitcoin perspective on the unassailable dollar position.  Enjoy.

Bad Inflation Models Lead to Confusion - Daily Live 2.20.23 | E321

Full show notes with links and charts: Telegram Twitter FREE weekly newsletter In today's episode, I talk through a back and forth I had on twitter with Luke Gromen. He refuses to have a coherent model for inflation, instead calling everything inflation. I try to clearly explain why fiscal spending and QE are not money printing, and why unusual fiscal spending with supply shocks make prices go up. Only some of it is money printing, with most of it being crowding out by pulling demand forward from savings at the same time as slashing supply. Enjoy.

Will a Freer Market with Bitcoin Lead to More Technology Advancement? - Daily Live 2.15.23 | E319

Full show notes with links and charts: Telegram Twitter FREE weekly newsletter In today's episode, I start off with a long introduction to competing progressive schools of thought. We are probably familiar with communist progressives on the left, but there is also a school on the right of technology progressives. The latter thinks there will be ever increasing levels of technology and it would be best if governments got out of the way. While I do believe capitalism is the way to go, this progressive vision of moving toward a technological utopia of AI, robots, and interstellar travel is very unlikely with more free markets. It is likely we will choose family and faith over progress of this nature, we'll move out of cities and become more self-sufficient instead of growing more fragile and dependent on ever centralizing systems Next is about altcoiners starting to see the light as the SEC swoops in and destroys the viability of all these scams. Lastly, we breifly cover retail sales in the US accelerating in January, but how this doesn't necessarily mean the Fed will clamp down harder. All they've done hasn't squashed the economy, so what makes people think them doing more will do that? What if they don't do much of anything in the real economy and they are only playing experts for the cameras. Enjoy.
