Timcast IRL discussion of Michael Cohen being called out for lying by his own attorney
I predict the news will get progressively dumber as we approach November. Stay tuned.
The Government Plan To Hack The Economy In 6 Months.
Overview of some of the tricks that the US Government has up its sleeves for managing the current economic situation.
1. literally printing more cash (who's receiving this?)
2. unlocking home equity ($32T potentially)
# Video Description
> The government has their back against the wall.
> The election is in 6 months and they need a way to fix things before then. They can't afford to let the economy crash if they want to have any hope of staying in power…
> And so… they introduced this plan to stimulate the markets, even though it goes against the Fed's entire agenda.
Wild times ahead
Stay humble. Stack sats.
I think they're both clearly top 20, already. Maybe we should be thinking in terms of All-Time All-NBA Teams.
Are Steph and Jokic 3rd Team already? Are they close to cracking 2nd Team yet?
The Results Are In: Free Market Capitalism Improves Lives

More Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome (So Sad)
# Video Description
> In this video, I go over a YouTube comment thread to demonstrate how many people approaching Bitcoin struggle with cognitive biases or anger-- what's commonly known as "Bitcoin Derangement Syndrome."
I don't think people like either part.
Another element that neither of us brought up is that Steph is also in these conversations.
Has Jokic clearly passed Steph already? I don't think it's obvious that he has and I don't think both of them are getting in to that top 10.

Order without the State: Lessons from Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings’s Florida Scrub

The best Shyamalan twist:
That guy in the hair piece was Bruce Willis the entire time.
Nikola Jokić Is A Cheat Code!
There's a lot of legacy talk going on right now with Jokic. Is it premature to be talking top 10 all-time with him? I know that in my entire basketball viewing life he's as dominant as anyone I've ever seen. My personal top tier of guys I watched is Jordan, Shaq, Lebron, and Jokic.
There are some reasonable longevity arguments for having Kobe and Duncan still ahead of Joker, as well.
Here's my all-time top 10 (not necessarily in exact order):
1. Jordan
2. Lebron
3. Kareem
4. Magic
5. Bird
6. Wilt
7. Duncan
8. Russell
9. Shaq
10. Kobe
Is there room for Jokic on there, somewhere?
He has more MVP's than Duncan, Shaq, and Kobe. However, all of those guys are multi-time champions.
It's crazy that we even have to explain to people that pretending to lend resources that don't actually exist will create problems.
Lending without Saving Brings Recession and Poverty

Is This Rooftop Turbine the Future of Energy… or an Old Idea?
# Video Description
> A new shrouded wind turbine, the Ventum Dynamics VX175, just hit the market in February. What makes the VX175 so different is the lantern-like structure wrapped around the body: a shroud. Shrouds are anything but a novel idea. Researchers have experimented with amplifying a turbine’s power output by covering the rotor for centuries, like Erasmus Darwin’s turbine. How much of this new rooftop wind turbine is a new idea vs. a rehash of a much older one? And what kind of impact can it have on the future of energy?
Why Gold Is Such A Terrible Investment
# Video Description
> Since 2009, we have seen the most money printing and monetary debasement ever engineered by a major central bank that presides over a global reserve currency. Unfortunately over that time period, gold has been a very poor store of value, underperforming tech stocks, trash companies, and trash food companies.
> One of the biggest problems is that gold is just not that scarce: there is a lot of it in space and even on earth. If gold inventories increase at just 1.50% per year, then the money supply of gold doubles every 46 years. This makes investing in gold like investing in a leaky boat.
> By contrast, Bitcoin has a fixed supply, and is easy to verify, easy to store, and easy to transport across borders.
> 90% of gold's value comes from its monetary premium, which is rapidly being eroded by Bitcoin.
> Shiny yellow rocks are beautiful, but a very poor investment and store of value.
> Bitcoin is digital gold for a digital 21st century.
