On Today's Episode:
No one wants to hear that the money they save today will be worthless tomorrow, and yet no one can deny that inflation is hitting everyone at the grocery store. What does this all mean and what can you do about it? You’re living through a recession that the government can’t seem to agree on or admit to whether you like it or not.
Robert Breedlove hosts the podcast, ‘What Is Money?’ has joined Tom a few times and broken down the complexities of money, inflation, and property rights. He’s a freedom maximalist, and bitcoin philosopher that offers food for thought that can melt your brain. His breakdown of inflation being a version of legal theft should grab your attention as it’s hard to ignore once you hear his explanation.
We’re digging into key ideas such as:
The money crisis
How bitcoin is impacting future creation of wealth
How you can better thrive during this financial crisis
It always comes down to decision and how you choose to move through reality as it is not how you wish it were.
QUOTES:
“Money is always scarce by definition.”
“The really successful entrepreneur is almost brilliantly lazy.”
“The innovation we’ve seen in the 21st century has been in spite of central banking not because of it.”
“When we print money you’re only violating individual private property rights.”
“The corruption of this technology that’s so fundamental to our human being, leads to the corruption of our character, and the corruption of who we are. It’s like a breakdown and corrosion of the moral composition of society through the debasement of currency and the violation of property.”
“Inaction is an impossibility. To choose to not act is an action.”
“The more productive we become as a global economy, the more purchasing power bitcoin can contain.”
“Money is an insurance policy on uncertainty
“Inflation is quite simply, legal counterfeiting, and counterfeiting is illegal inflation. They’re mechanically the same thing.”
“Setting a legal monopoly to steal from all of society is a really convenient wealth acquisition strategy.”

The fact that we have to worry about a government that doesn’t want to relinquish power is a testament to the reality of how far we’ve strayed from a government of the people, by the people, and for the people.
Building wealth from nothing involves consistent saving, disciplined spending, and strategic investments. Begin by creating a budget to track expenses and identify areas for savings. Prioritize paying off high-interest debt and establishing an emergency fund. As you build a foundation, start investing in low-cost options like index funds, and focus on continuous learning and improving your skills for better income opportunities.

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.

It’s important to choose stocks that are expected to hold uo in inflationary environments. To combat the negative effect of inflation, it’s a good idea to diversify your portfolio across different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate, since this can help protect your portfolio against inflation.

Game theory. Their choice in the matter will be removed from them. People move to BTC because Fiat is inflating and losing value. Those individuals who put their money in BTC win, so others follow suit. Then the companies do it, then the institutions, then the Governments. This is already happening. Everyone stuck in Fiat is losing money, every individual, company and country moving to BTC wins. In the end everyone has to join BTC, or they will get progressively poorer and weaker.

Tom, the way you phrase the question about rich people being inherently evil, even referencing your own experience, was asked from the view of the ride up. We have exhausted the adrenals of credit to grow the economy at the expense of new entrants to the economy. There is no incentive for the common worker anymore. If we want to play the system, as you say you did, we could. But the willingness to burn yourself to play the system diminishes as returns wane. We are at that inflection point where the work to get to “passive income empires” is not worth the work to most people. We cannot all be passive income emperors. No one does any real work in that scenario.

People are going to be holding Bitcoin still even if it goes to zero. It’s not just money but a representation of our property rights and civil rights. That’s why it will always have value. Price is just another number when you think about what it can really do for humanity. With all this said, I agree only time will tell
Due to the fact that crypto currency (bitcoin) is digital… doesn’t the non-physicality of the currency have its own set of potential risks? What happens if our global power grid were to be disrupted for whatever reason that resulted in us going back to the pre digital era? How useful would cryptocurrency be if no one had access to the technology required to facilitate transactions? Wouldn’t it be prudent to hold a reserve in something that has the same characteristics as well ( ie: Gold)?

A very unlikely scenario but not impossible. When Satoshi mined the 1st block with Hal Finney there was two people running the bitcoin network on probably two PCs. Now there are millions of miners and 10s of thousands of nodes. Hash rate keeps on increasing as well. So these numbers keep going up. A lot of miners also use isolated energy sources because they are isolated and have no other use, think hydroelectric dams in once industrial zones, methane flaring in oil fields (which also reduces greenhouse gas emissions), nat gas production from animal waste, etc. With other options like starlink the robustness of bitcoin just keeps getting better

I don't think anyone goes deep enough. In a doomsday scenario, no trading of currency, Bitcoin included, and having gold as a hedge would be worthless. You can't securely store it. You can't carry it around (do you know how heavy bars of gold are?). Who's gonna weigh it to make sure they're not being cheated in trade? (Who determines how much an asset such as food, animals, clothing, weapons is worth in a post apocalyptic world?) You'll spend your whole time trying to defend it from invaders and marauders instead of focusing on squirting the necessary skills it would take to survive like agriculture, hunting, etc. People will always find something to establish wealth and their status in a society because there will always be someone who wants something for nothing, which is not natural as this guest would like you to believe. Most indigenous societies believed in fair trade, which is how Europeans got over on all of them (Western, African, Australian and Asian). Now getting something for less (not nothing) is completely natural.

I just started watching and when listening to you, not your guest, it amazes me how people have no idea, none, about money, our economic and banking system, and the idea that dollars have any relationship to wealth. In one sentence I can tell you the most important lesson about the greenback. This is hard to hear so make sure you're seated...MONEY IS DEBT. The definition, principle and realization tells you one thing immediately and that is that everything connected to money has only one outcome...FAILURE. These systems were set up by those with familiar names who came from European banking families in which only benefits them and no one else. The dollar is completely worthless compared to what it's value was before those in charge used the great depression to form the central bank and federal reserve.
Living in what might be considered the exact opposite modality is more "fruitful" to the expansion of all life over time and space. Ownership is a legal fallacy because it requires a legal system to prove. Possession on the other hand is empirically recognized based upon proximity and exclusivity at any given moment. The belief that a tiny, short-lived creature residing on a 4.5 billion year old rock hurling through vast time and space "owns" a piece of it is beyond reason when viewed from the macro. It's akin to a flea claiming it "owns" the dog upon which it feeds. Although I absolutely agree with Robert regarding the ills of government and the centralized creation of artificial value (money), I don't come to the same conclusions or narratives, though I once did. The generalists/polymaths attempt to understand the connectedness of all things through the study of multiple disciplines such as geology, anatomy, physiology, biology, psychology, ecology, technology, chemistry, history, astronomy and many other disciplines that end in the letter y. (Sorry about the dad humor). Although depth of knowledge is critical to greater understanding, it is breadth of knowledge which can make corrections to the common ailment known as binocular vision that skews the proverbial vision of so many specialists.
He’s absolutely correct, we did create the individual, and the individual ideologies and perceptions are what cause such a crazy dynamic in our system. Deep stuff.

I live in canada and this government is acting completely desperate. They've hired thousands of additional revenue agency staff to conduct tens of thousands of audits on innocent people that costs us thousands of dollars in accounting fees to constantly be coming up with all these demands they are continually placing on us. They've audited four different accounts in my company in the last 1.5 years and have never assessed addition monies owed. When does this end? It's ridiculous.
Even if you think the guest is a shill for bitcoin, everything he said about the currupt global banking sysytem is 100% true and there is no other issue that can be tackled until the current monetary deception is transparently fixed.

So very valuable! Grateful for these two for making an awesome video that not only makes you think, but makes the world of money easier to understand. love to both of you Robert and Tom!
What a beautiful soul this man has. Wow. His thoughtfulness blows me away.
I've always liked listening to Robert, his insights and thinking are brilliant, I learnt a lot from him.
Sigh.. I have to listen to another looong conversation between you two, always amazing. Your only guest I listen to on normal speed
That was fascinating, thanks gents. I need to find all the books mentioned now!😀
I agree that the Bible has already laid out common sense financial advice centuries ago. It is timeless and tells us that God understood and has always wanted truth, freedom, and godly love for all. If you follow its precepts, you will be wealthier.
I love thar Mr. Bilyeu takes his time to create a circumspect introduction. These podcasts are very paced and on-track. I appreciate the redirection when topics go tangential, not because I don't love tangents, but because I too forget what was originally being discussed. He's like a moderating interviewer that sets up talking points so the speaker can really show off and share their hard-earned experience. The topics are so interesting! Thank you, everyone.

The most powerful quote of this century. "Inflation is legallized counterfeiting, counterfeiting is illegal inflation. 24:29
Great episode. I'm not sure about this whole individualism started with Jesus, because the greek philosophers had a say in this, also Roman law brought a lot of individual rights and property law. But it's always interesting to hear new ideas and I will certainly check out the recommended books. Btw. don't make Bitcoin your God. Just don't. It is great and I hope it ends traditional banking and politics. But just don't make it the golden calf. This is idolatry and absolutely unhealthy
WOW! Lots of good nuggets here. 😱 Thanks very much for breaking this down. My mind has been blown. I'll have to listen to this episode a couple more times to effectively digest this feast.

Hi, Robert Breedlove! You mentioned Jordan Peterson as a "great lecturer", which he happens to be, but When you learn about Olavo de Carvalho, man... you will realize how much you still have to learn! You are on the right track, congrats! (Philosopher)
Great episode topic and guest. Looking forward to listening/watching on my next road trip.
I have most of my assets in real estate followed by equities. I have always considered bitcoin outside of my risk tolerance. But after this conversation I immediately added some to my portfolio lol. Will probably continue to dollar cost average into it along with everything else.
Makes you rethink... everything. Great Content and much appreciated.
It is even like: my house was $500k, and the salary (wage) was $100k, and lunch was $6. Now the gov't prints money, and the house is now $1.5M, the salary is $300k (or probably 250k), and lunch is $18. So everything really stayed the same, but when you sell the house, the gov't says you have gained $1.0M and tax you every penny of it. Isn't it like gov't betraying people

I think this guy is really smart, however one thing the Central Bank haters never tell us is that the Profits of Central Banks are returned to the US Government. /The Us Gov charters the bank, allows it to exist and the profit is returned. And it’s like a farmer’s Co-op, member banks (your local bank) are the owners.

The government does not own beauty. They do not own music, joy, friends, sunsets, etc. When I was afraid my week old baby would die from pneumonia (she was born 4 months early), the ocean gave me comfort. I thought to myself, no matter how bad life gets, this ocean will be here. Nothing can ever take this beauty away. Yes, it does make one feel powerless to realize how badly we are manipulated and at the mercy of power yet there is escape from that in the beauty of life. The way we love our friends, our family. The gift that comes from learning a hard skill like playing an instrument, a language, or baking. I hope you can find joy in those things too:)

For 2 decades I thought my life economics degree was worth less than an arts degree. I was so very wrong 😂, Robert beautiful points, I would have loved to see you expanding into barter system also. When we talked about what you should invest into in the uncertain future for most people that should be food, shelter and paying bills. When we get to higher levels anything that is a necessity ( the is why Bill Gates is buying farms)
Robert forgot to explain one reason why deflation and saving encourages innovation, as opposed to Keynesian inflation and consumption, is because investing requires investors. People who saved have capital to invest in innovation.
I agree with everything. I see you have a blind spot. USD is a reserve currency in some 200 countries, which means when you turn on your printing press you are exporting inflation and not taking on the full hit of it. To protect that status and lifestyle you need to have wars and spending. Also it is a privilege to be on that "island" of NA. This cannot be translated to other countries.
Government BENEFITS by inflation because taxes are, for the most part, based on the VALUE of goods & services. So if your wages go up to compensate for inflation, you end up paying more tax (and probably in a higher tax bracket too!) Your house value goes up, hence more tax for government.

There are many issues with bitcoin, another one being that there's no way to roll back unauthorized transactions. The blockchain system itself may be secure (at least until someone invents a quantum computer than can do hashing very quickly) but people's individual devices still get hacked all the time. If somebody gets your bank password and sends all your money to their account, your bank can work with theirs to reverse it. But with crypto once it's gone it's gone.

An EMP would take out the global financial system; so yes, if we go back to stone age it's a problem, but it doesn't make sense to not adapt something just because that is possible. If that happens the internet is out too; your fiat dollars in the bank won't work, you can't get gas, can't buy groceries, go to work/school etc. Most people don't have cash, we're back to stone age age barter systems very quickly. Possible, but not probable. It would be like saying I'm not going to use email because sometime there could be an EMP. Unless you're 100% in cash /gold already; your money is already digital.
