I'm interested in any and all opinions of Raoul Pal's "Everything Code" and his advice series, "How to Unf*** Yourself" on RealVision. I recently listened to Pal's interview with Nathaniel Whittemore, and he makes some startling assertions. Mostly, I'm skeptical of anyone who claims to have figured out the future of money, geopolitics, and finance. I'm willing to dig deeper into Pal's views, but I need some citations, charts, and data. Pal quotes a lot of numbers and correlations in the interview below, but he doesn't offer any sources for this information. I'm curious what others think about his macroeconomic analysis? Interview below: https://youtu.be/qJ4yb78o_f0?feature=shared

I'm going to answer my own question, but I'm still very interested in others' point of view. After initial consideration, I think Pal is mostly regurgitating ideas Michael Saylor has been saying for years. Pal is more charismatic, and fun to listen to. His talks are more motivating than Saylor. Pal turns a few dials and knobs to make his thesis less plagiarized. Nevertheless, I think the core of his thesis has already been articulated by Saylor for the last 3+ years, ie - the growth of the M2 money supply is the leading indicator for inflation. He compares the risk-free rate with rising inflation to demonstrate the relative low performance of all other assets compared to #BTC. Ergo investors can wait for inflation to eat into returns on all other assets or buy an asset, BTC, whose price can (and has) superceded inflation sufficiently to compensate investors for the added volatility of the BTC price.
