"There are many clues that the markets are not really free, such as the fact that almost as a rule, companies that grow to IPO have founder ownership around 10% and the same funds are always at the top of the list of ownership — of course, someone defending... statism would point to the fact that those funds represent millions of Americans, but the reality is that by passing through those funds, the individuals become collectivized, and their individual agency obliterated… and there is only the “need” for such ridiculous funds in the first place due to the absence of a sound savings instrument.

"the fiat dollar system actually cannot be audited accurately, largely due to the delays between credit creation and spending, from which there is the notion of being able to spend the new dollars before the inflation hits the market (seigniorage / Cantillon effect)"

"Company building has been successfully 51% attacked — it is now more about the monetary premium than the thing itself, and really, every intelligent company must simply pull an MSTR..."
