Do We Have a Shot at Outgrowing the National Debt With Bitcoin?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Do you think we have a shot at outgrowing the national debt with Trump and Doge?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
So normally, debt is either economic collapse through invasion or inflation, and that's normally the way that people get out of debt, right?
Governments, right?
And the idea that you can move to assets into Bitcoin, have Bitcoin inflate, sorry, gain value relative to fiat means that you can pay off Fiat currencies without printing fiat currency.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
You don't have to screw with the interest rates.
You don't have to screw with the money supply.
You can simply, governments can buy assets.
And this is starting to happen, right?
I think it was just last night Trump announced the exploration of a strategic reserve of Bitcoin for the US. It's going to be essential.
So...
You can transfer fiat into Bitcoin.
Bitcoin can rise massively in value relative to fiat, which means that you can pay off the debt with Bitcoin and not have hyperinflation.
That is very much the hope and the goal.
That is the hope and the goal.
And it's never before existed in human history.
That is such a great point about how denying certain groups employment is targeting the birth rate of that group.
Yeah.
It lowers the sexual market value of men if you deny them employment because women don't want to date them, right?
It's horrible.
Just horrible.
Has Izzy challenged you or pointed out inconsistencies lately?
Not anything that in particular comes to mind.
It's gone the other way a little bit.
Any thoughts on the OnlyFans woman who slept with 100 guys in 24 hours?
I mean, obviously, bad childhood, and there's a certain path to notoriety that some women take.
It's pretty negative.
And so they'll do this kind of stuff.
They'll make a good deal of money.
This is obviously a big advertisement for her OnlyFans channel.
And then when she ages out, she will cry tears of woe and the Christians will embrace her in a way that they really embrace the martyr.
I mean, I wouldn't say it's a salvation fetish or whatever it is, but these days really do go hard on the salvation narrative, however fake it may seem, of the former sex workers.
I can't believe one guy bought her flowers.
It literally is that meme of like the guys lining up to have sex with the woman and only one of them down the road has flowers.
I can't believe one guy bought her flowers.
Somebody says, I've seen a video of a single mom complain about how tough the two-year age is, yet the kid is in daycare every day for half the day and barely gets to see his father.
She also complains about all of the bad manners he has learned from the other kids in the daycare, like throwing and breaking toys and spitting.
Even though she works online from home, she says she needs to be alone to focus on work, so daycare is necessary.
The daycare workers constantly send her pictures of the kid doing activities.
Yep, yep, yep.
Yep.
It is It's very sad, this sort of circularity, where you treat children badly, in particular with neglect.
And children are going to pair-bond with someone.
They either pair-bond with their parents, or their peers, or some weird ideology, or, like, they're going to pair-bond with someone.
They have to, because we're a social species, and children get way too much stress, hormones, and cortisol, I think, if they don't pair-bond, if they don't have some sense of security.
So they'll pair-bond with someone.
Could be creeps online, could be some weird ideology, could be a cult, could be peers and bad peers.
So if, you know, we got to eat, and if we don't eat at home, we got to go out for something to eat, right?
If there's no food at home.
So it is a sad thing to see that people neglect their kids.
The kids behave badly, and then they say, well, I can't really spend much time with my kid because he's behaving so badly, right?
Somebody says...
I've been listening to your show for years, and it has helped me to change my life.
I never planned on having children, but now I'm happily married, and me and my wife are trying for a first baby.
Well, congratulations.
That is fun and exciting, I suppose.
And at last, my love has come along.
There you go.
I'm giving you some romantic music so that you can try for your first baby during the show.
Just kidding.
