This might be on of my favorite guests so far. He is tied with Mees Baaijen. It is so helpful to hear a more optimistic point of view. Michael is a good person to follow especially when you start feeling too overwhelmed with all of the chaos coming out of DC. Thank you so much!

"..possibly involving Bitcoin as a strategic reserve and dollar stablecoins, with the aim of reducing inequality both within and between countries"

I have heard this "barnum statement" many times over. "Reducing inequality" inevitably ends up meaning reducing the means of the middle class, pushing them toward the impoverished class, while the highest "decile" (actually more like the highest 0.01%) increase their share of the world's wealth even more. "Trickle down" doesn't work.

Governments should have no "strategic reserves" of anything, with the possible exception of seeds or potable water which would be distributed at no cost to those who need it in an emergency. Things like a "gold reserve", "bitcoin reserve", et cetera literally means taking wealth out of the system and keeping it in the hands of the ruling class- who will then borrow against it and leave the debt to be paid by.....c'mon you know...the proles. "Reserves" aren't for the benefit of the governed. They are instead additional insurance for the ruling class to ensure that the proles never approach them in terms of wealth.

En passant, the statement is made in this podcast that if the US stands alone to defend free speech, that will be "difficult." Difficult, yes; impossible, no.

In 1776, the US stood alone to defend the principle of a Constitutional republic, surrounded by autocratic monarchies. Yet how many countries have followed its lead?

In 1791, the US stood alone to introduce a fundamental Bill of Rights. How many countries have followed suit? The US needs to lead the global defense of free speech and will prevail.

Another one......using the word, 'ANARCHY' incorrectly!

ANARCHY does NOT mean: go crazy and break/destroy shit; chaos; lawlessness.

The correct definition of ANARCHY: NO MASTERS/NO RULERS/NO SLAVES
