Guy's Take is officially here! I've got something special for you guys that I'm super excited about. We've put together a new channel and are shifting to video as the dominant, regular content type for the show. I also am separating out Guy's Takes (shorter form, topic specific videos) as its own medium to keep it separate from the longer form interviews. Check out the new channel! Subscribe and stay tuned. We've got a ton of stuff coming and so many ideas to dig into. It's a new era for the show. Hope you join me 🫡 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjQc97Xay_nGdHhrW8D_ZnQ

It’s shocking how fast an entire week can go by while you’re scrambling the whole time and working constantly only to feel like you got nowhere.

They say we issue debt from nothing because it “grows the economy” and it’s a “net benefit.” Well… if we have 2% price inflation, it means the “net” is explicitly a loss. Otherwise stuff would be more affordable. 2% inflation means that the cost of explicitly out weighed the additional production, because the net result was clearly that things got 2% more expensive. This is exactly why you can’t afford a house, you need 2 earners, and you have no time. You’ve been losing minimum 2% on net of living standard every year for decades.

There is no false mental model more destructive than the idea that prices are supposed increase over time. All prices should fall if the economy is more productive. Indefinitely. It is literally only because trillions of dollars are counterfeited from nothing every year, and our time, living standards, home affordability, and critical resources get sucked out of the economy to pay for it that things get more expensive. It is explicitly unnatural and it’s explicitly because we have fake money and a communist central bank at the lowest layer of our economic system.

The 2 biggest and most unexpected winners of the Ai era are json and markdown files 😆

Do you feel politics is a pure disaster of corruption and evil? Does it feel like everything is getting more dangerous, while you’re being taxed 5x to fund its decline? Feel unsafe? The best thing you can do is get a gun, learn to use it safely, and protect you and your home. Encourage everyone you know and trust to join you. The police won’t save you. The govt isn’t going to fix your problems. When the sh*t hits the fan you’ll find both on the other side throwing it in. Protect yourself. Accept the responsibility that it’s only up to you, and do what you need to handle it.

he Headline: "US Govt confiscated $1B of Iran's crypto!" X posts: "Everyone selling Bitcoin! Bitcoin quantum theft!? Unconfiscatable My a$$!" Reality: "oh... they froze some USDT through the company that runs the centralized network... Bitcoin literally not even involved."

Every major company issues debt and credit cards to users because arbitraging the debt printer is easier than actually producing value. It’s entirely parasitic, but the govt and central bank are making it one of the lowest risk and most profitable plays in the economy.
