OTO

Thanks for all the stimulating yet easy going conversations in 2024 and best wishes and successes for the year to come. ✌️

Congrats on 5 years of podcasting! Also, Tim Tams are delicious.

Socially unacceptable is my middle name. Loving the old show (Plan B) vibe. Keep it going Chris!

The concern with bitcoin backed loans is that, should the value of your collateral drop beyond a certain point (which bitcoin is famously known to do), the bank may liquidate the collateral at a price which is much, much lower than had you just sold it at the cycle top and paid the capital gains tax.

For a deeper understanding of LLM's, check out 3Blue1Brown's playlist. I really love that guy. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZHQObOWTQDNU6R1_670…

It's really cool cracking open an old journal and remembering the person who you once were compared to the person you are today. With some amount of effort you can envoke that former person but now with wisdom you've gained. Quality conversation guys.

I happen to know quite a bit about protecting the grid from solar flares and I was closely monitoring the event in May. I hate to be that guy but your guest is missed a lot things concerning the electrical grid. After the Quebec blackout in 1989 grid operators have greatly improved their ability monitor and mitigate geomagnetic disturbances. Once a flare is detected, grid operators have like 6-10 hours to prepare for the plasma to hit us so they have time to disconnect / protect vulnetable equipment. If a really, really bad one hits us, power restoration will be on the order of days, not months or years, sorry!

Conspiratorial thinking I can get behind. ✌️

Coincidentally, I also went down the meme stock rabbit hole recently, I watched the James Jani doc, I watched a.bunch of Marantz and Richard Newton on YT, etc. I was shocked to find that I came away thinking Marantz actually has a good point, I wouldn't dismiss him so easily. AMC, BBBY and GME are not the same and I think Ryan Cohen is genuinely trying to turn around GME, he got out of BBBY when he saw it was a lost cause. The story of private equity bankruptcies is truly fascinating. This whole GME saga transformed into a rich vs poor battle which is still ongoing. Will the common man ever see justice? Who knows. Do hedge funds break the rules and get away with it ? No doubt they do. Good discussion.

Mike Benz is an evil a$$hole, sorry Tom. He openly says lying, cheating, stealing, killing etc. foreigners is perfectly fine if it results in american corporations have a higher profit margins and higher stock valuations. Listen to Tucker (supposed Christian) interview, Mike is pushing disgusting immoral arguments.

Please remind Dave in 4 years he said he would buy bitcoin after we increase in value after the next stock market bust cycle.

Ahhh.. Dexter and Tom, it's like warm butter for my earlobes.

When the hosky maker said okay to listing his tokens on an exchange and provided the exchange with additional hoskies it also graduated to full fledge scam, please correct me if I misremembered that interview.

When you tell strangers you're retired they will assume you have some sort of inherentance coming your way and don't need to work for money. Little do they know that you just don't see a need for collecting money!

I might have become the out of touch old guy in the room but I still remain wildly unenthusiastic about the world changing aspects of AI in the next few years. As far as I can see, AI amounts to clever google searches and unoriginal media creation on apps which mainly appeal to highschool kids (insta, tiktok, etc) Furthermore, if AI can make your job obsolete then I wager your job was largely unnecessary to begin with and you probably should have been fired years ago.

I'm not exactly sure why but I like listening to these. New tagline, Small conversations on everyday topics.

Finally, a BRICs for dummies podcast, ty.

Sorry! 😬 well at least you got one home.

After all these years of studying the markets Tom has decided to store his wealth in two things, underground gold and bitcoin. There's a very important lesson there kids.

Tom manages to put out a great show despite a Hurricane, take that Helene!

I was entertained AND I learned a lot, what else can ya ask for?

For a smart guy Saylor really shows an inability to grasp a simple concept, followed up with an ugly straw man argument against Maxies. Saif's point isn't that lending in itself is wrong. His point was, lending something YOU DONT OWN is wrong. This is what banks currently do. They lend out fiat that doesn't exist previously, when fiat gets printed it gains values by stealing a small potion of value from all existing fiat, aka inflation, aka theft. Theft is wrong. Sa

I’ve heard priests say that encountering the spirits of loved ones after their recent deaths is a very common occurrence. They say it was common all through history and even continues today but people don’t really talk about it anymore. I know people personally who I totally trust who describe encounters, but I have not sensed it myself. So yeah, you’re just having a normal human experience as far as I know.

“Once you slow down you will find answers.” Wow that’s a powerful message. I needed to be reminded of that too.

My son is loving these stories!

Fantastic episode. I’ve started using this approach.

Interesting show. Thank you sir

Boost!!
