Hey Matt, great convo with Mike and the reason I am now your subscriber. In that convo, Mike wanted to ask you re your view on BTC as it relates to this potential new world order, but he did not get to it. Curious about your thoughts on whether BTC can share space with gold as the potential reserve asset? Thank you sir.
I think BTC will go up in price. I don't see how it would be part of the reserve mix. The key to a reserve is that it is shared by countries that trade with one another. Our trading partners already have gold. And I think gold will once again be the basis of the global monetary system.
BTC could likely be part of the Sovereign wealth fund, but I can't imagine how it becomes the basis of reserves.
Hi Matt, beautiful interview and amazing points for all of us to consider.
Regarding the statement, though, that Trump has no philosophical core: Isn't the desire to end war and senseless killing in and of itself the basis of a philosophical core. It does, indeed, seem that Trump values peace as not just a talking piece, but as a deeply held value. I'll admit that 8 years ago, I never would've believed this about the guy. I voted for Gary Johnson for whatever it's worth. But this Donald Trump that I see today seems to be the real deal. I do believe he has a philosophical core. Your thoughts?
Recognizing that war is destructive isn't a philosophical core. I appreciate the point of view, but I don't think it's evidence of a philosophical core. If Trump has one, I suspect it's utilitarian.
I appreciate the response and perspective, of course. However, I wasn't suggesting that the recognition of war as a destructive force defines a philosophical core, but rather that the goal of peace could be considered as such. And sure, perhaps that could loosely be summed up as utilitarianism. Regardless, I appreciate the food for thought and the work that you continue to do. Cheers!
I found this to be valuable and a nice perspective to consider given how negative the MSM is on Trump and everything he does and says. I tend to agree that the opportunity is there for lots of positive change and cleaning out the parasitic and sabotaging patterns and people that have accumulated in the government and feeding off the government in unproductive ways. Things will get muy interesante no matter what, but could be much better than people assume. Having exposure to gold and silver in some ways sure seems like a wise move to me
Interesting macro economic perspectives on what the big players are trying to do in their world to right economic wrongs. Inevitably advice is given by good macro economic analysts to people living micro economic lives, which is the vast majority of people. The macro economic and micro economic are two separate and concurrent systems that do not have a natural partnership or affinity but do need to make use of each other. Micro economic players need need tools, procedures, and advice on how to navigate in their world in order to prosper while avoiding the predations of the macro economic world. I don't see much of this. A few quiet individuals might figure it out for themselves but the general population is flying in the back of the jumbo jet instead of flying their own Cessnas. No systemically curated help is out there for them, usually advice is given on how to navigate in the macro economic system. I think there are some real earning opportunities for enterprising people to create a useful tool for for folks who want to get out of the back of the jumbo jet and fly their own Cessna. Nakamura Satoshi was one such entity and Bitcoin (and gold) are small but critical parts of a needed wider micro economic eco system. Wheels and an engine do not a car make, you need to have a whole car blueprint and collect the missing components. Irony is there are huge numbers of Cessna flyers out there using paper money as their micro economic fuel. But that paradigm is going south. San Salvador is trying to bring in a replacement, but they don't quite get it. In the micro economic world good money has to provide pricing stability, privacy and readily recognized simple and intuitive local transaction fungibility. Such a money has to exist entirely outside of macro economic influence. Gold embedded in notes can do that. But it hasn't, nobody prices empanadas in gold. Gold isn't cost effectively and readily transportable across long distances. But Bitcoin is. Gold and Bitcoin are two separate independent potential currencies whose ratio to each other is determined by free market supply and demand forces. In trade (the real world kind, not day trading kind) local prices can be established in grams of gold, and paid with a readily identifiable and verifiable form of the metal. Furthermore payments can readily transferred across great distances in Bitcoin, settled at the going exchange rate between the two at time of payment. To me it's a better system that even local fiat cash (dying) and Central Banks (raping) that Cessna flyers now use. We got the Bitcoin already, golds all around like seawater but can't be used on a daily basis. Like seawater, it's there, but you can't drink it, and people are getting mighty thirsty. De La Rue can build a money note for 10 or 15 cents, why does a 2025 100 Milligram Aurum Trump Presidential Bill Gold Note (New) sell for $30? It's useful, its worth about $10 of current gold price and checks all the micro economic Cessna guys local money box, but it's $30 to acquire it. It should be $11 or maybe $12. At three times the acquisition price of the present value of the note that puppy won't hunt. How come there's not a private mint building gold notes in Uruguay for a realistic price? Mike?
But Matt, doesn't devaluing the dollar also cause other issues, right? Like rising inflation and a decrease in economic health? Which means interest rates would increase, and businesses would take fewer loans. What I'm trying to say is, will there ever be a perfect scenario?
Interesting Hail Mary conjecture. Replicating an FDR-inspired economic reset will not be swallowed, IMO. I believe Matt is misreading the pampered public's acceptance of a lengthy period of high inflation and job loss. Human nature will prevail and it won't be orderly. I expect it WILL be a dystopian future, AI controlled. It's the end of the empire.
I told my wife something like what Matt is saying, explaining to her the method in Trump's madness, she hates Trump, I don't care either way. She sez the hoi polloi won't understand and will eat Trump alive before the plan matures when the hardship hits them. I dunno either way but my wife is your above average hoi polloi and a mother. In my opinion it could work but it's going to take loads of sweet talking when the hoi polloi start to suffer more than they already are. Russia, China, India are pulling out of poverty bigtime, maybe America will too. Stranger things have happened in the world, unlike those countries Americans have been pampered, but bruised lately, so we'll see.
Human nature is predictable and most tend to resist non-consensual radical change. IMO, the changes you've outlined would cause periods (possibly generational) of suffering and perceived victimization for many. In whatever form the USA might survive this, the ensuing new narrative would prevail because resistance would die with an aging population. I say "dystopian" because, to me, the projected future sounds like one of total human control in all aspects of life. There would be apparently be no classical hero's journeys available at that time, no tough decisions to ponder, no mistakes to learn from. Your son is fortunate that you've encouraged him to find himself. I initiated my own hero's journey 50-some years ago, and now old already, I'm pleased with the choices I was able to make for myself. I left a "successful" life in my 20s and found better-fitting life experiences thereafter on my own. Good luck to your son and daughter.
I'd rather see them blow it up. Admit their mistakes, clean out the corruption, and go back to the gold standard. It's going to affect the average citizen in the same way anyway I suspect. They might just be trying to preserve the stock market somewhat, and their own interests. It's my understanding, that the "free market" can only function properly if left alone, without government policy interference. That isn't happening around the world. Adopting China's system will only help the NWO freakshow accomplish their agenda. Living under the banners of "convenience" and "for the greater good" is not my idea of a free society. I live in Chinada....
All true. I'm just explaining the plan... or at least the part of it I've been able to put together based on statements and papers from Trump people combined with current market moves.
Think of the Sovereign wealth fund as being the opposite of the Federal Reserve in a North South relationship. North being the Sovereign Wealth Fund (positive gain) and South the Federal Reserve (loss of gain). The Fed takes the interest and it makes others rich. The Sovereign takes the interest and builds its wealth even more. Banks can barrow from the Sovereign and lend to customers and we have a secure system that makes a nation stronger. You know, bigger, better and more beautiful. Smile.
Coffee & COVID on substack had an excellent write up today on how the Trump administration is smashing the bureaucracy by doing multiple end runs around the leftist judges currently trying to block DOGE. They may actually save the US. Worth the read.
Another validation(?) of "inflate or die" to handle the US problem. Gold helps but it isn't a usable form of money; it has to be converted to baseless dollar anyway. Any other ideas for the common citizen?
I listened to your entire interview. But, beyond maintaining purchasing power by holding gold because there will be inflation in future, I have no idea what you are talking about. lol
A lot of great insight, but how do you explain the contradiction of a gold standard and inflating away debts?
I've always understood "inflating away debt" to apply to debt denominated in a foreign currency. How do you inflate away debts denominated in the same currency as the newly created debt money?
I know you’ve read Great Taking. I think debts will be defaulted upon, not inflated away.
Well, of course the current financial system doesn't work anymore. It is insane.
But to think that Jew money power in the form of central banking will somehow be abrogated---- by jew stooge Donald Trump, or anybody else for that matter, seems unlikely. The jews won't allow it; they will turn over the card table before that happens. It's not a question of doing the "adult" thing, because something must be done.
In fact, just in case you haven't noticed, the entire Jew game is about sending the world into chaos. And when that happens, their control can be perfected. And we will be living in the jew world order.

Since 1933, Technocracy, technology here now
5,000 year monetary base, 1933, recall the gold

Yup I get it, and thanks a ton for the video btw, and your thoughts. Much appreciated! I'm reading Miran's paper now..

plant a garden. Produce even 15% of the food you consume and you'll be better for it.
I listened to your entire interview. But, beyond maintaining purchasing power by holding gold because there will be inflation in future, I have no idea what you are talking about. lol

I know you’ve read Great Taking. I think debts will be defaulted upon, not inflated away.
The gold standard comes in once the dollar needs to be stabilized. This is the last act not the first.
That makes sense but there's still the contradiction of "inflating away" dollar-denominated debt with dollars.
