It’s thankless because it’s stupid to be a critic of bitcoin. Unlike dollars which are created out of thin air, bitcoin is created by using energy and miners. Bitcoin is the only honest money we have because it is not apart of the debt based system. The problem is with the money which is why we have inflation. You cannot fix the problems in society until you fix the money. So to be against bitcoin is foolish imo💯🔥All of the regulation is setting up for bitcoin to be integrated into the new financial system🏦

@@JohnSmith-pn1vv omg. I’m not talking about staking bitcoin…I am talking about bitcoin. There is literally no other option that I can see currently to fix the money problem…inflation will persist until we change the money. Period. End of story. You are talking about staking/lending. I am not talking about that. We need a digital hard money standard to fix the bullshit. What else can be done to fix inflation? You seem like a genius.

@@regularbob I'm embarrassed for you. You really can't think of another way other than a digital currency, backed by nothing, that requires more electricity than Argentina? If this is the case you need to sit down and listen while smarter people talk economics. One obvious alternative to the current system would be a gold backed currency, like we had before America foisted unbacked monopoly money on us. Your idea to replace unbacked paper money with unbacked digital money is not a great difference sorry, you just digitalized fiat didn't you? Be honest with yourself now, if all cryptos were stablecoins you wouldn't give a 💩 about them. You treat them as a gambling vehicle like every other cryptobro. Currency is not supposed to make you rich, it is a medium of exchange.

Awesome episode, definitely a must-watch. Good work guys!

My mind is blown how Jim foresaw the fall of SBF and the public’s outrage about it

I am neck deep in crypto and actively avoid having to use Tether. It's an easy low hanging fruit to pick and throw at the crypto space. As Jim says, for people who are "depending on Tether... and the crypto space", most studied and responsible members of the crypto community do not "depend on Tether". This is a great interview and glad I found you guys! Always important to pay attention to the other side of the street and ask ourselves "what if I'm wrong?"

Chanos is my favourite investor. I follow his long short strategy. Sometimes successfully...

At 26:00 Jim Chanos says the SBF interview where he admits crypto is a ponzi will be looked back on as a watershed event. This is an absolutely brilliant call. This whole podcast in retrospect seems like you guys were broadcasting from a time machine. Wow.

Fantastic episode. Have you guys done one on online communities because I think those can pose big dangers in warping people's perspectives for both crypto and stocks.

@4:30 There's a big distinction between selling future inventory (airline tickets, future crop harvests etc.) and short-selling by borrowing shares from custodians who are lending their customers' shares. Our stockbrokers should have a fiduciary obligation to not loan our shares, as that drives the price down and hurts our long positions. Self-custody of shares would finally stop this abuse.

Jimmy likes 'em young!

No need to short crypto, they just go bankrupt by themselves.

Glad you do what you do, but this felt really echo chambery. Why not try to facilitate debates between people like this and people like Robert Breedlove or Jeff Booth. I'd like to see this guy explain how fiat is less of a ponzi than BTC when he's faced with minds like theirs. “He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them. But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion... Nor is it enough that he should hear the opinions of adversaries from his own teachers, presented as they state them, and accompanied by what they offer as refutations. He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them...he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.” - John Stuart Mill
