A daily live show about the monetary transition from fiat to Bitcoin - AI deflation, energy abundance, and the restoration of humanity. Hosted by Ricky Zhang. Live weekdays at 10am PT / 1pm ET. Clips daily.
Abundance doesn't mean the work goes away. We still compete. We still trade our scarce time. What ends is inflation quietly stealing the productivity we made.
Every dollar you spend is a vote for the dollar system. Every debt taken, every debt repaid, same vote. That system is what shrinks your savings. Bitcoin is how you stop voting for it.
Anthropic's CEO says open source AI is getting dangerous. Dangerous to whom? Not to the person building for their family. Dangerous to his business model.
For centuries, wealth was power. The richer you got, the more rules you could bend. Bitcoin ENDS that. You can be rich: and rule no one.
Bitcoin doesn't solve scarcity. It becomes the scarcest thing. Scarcity moves into the money. And everything else becomes abundant.
Every AI model was trained on the entire corpus of human writing. Yours included, if you've ever posted online. Copyright is a framework that served us for a time. The commons it was trained on belongs to all of us.
It won't take a nuclear war. It won't take a rogue AI. Debt-based money is already doing it. Quietly. Fewer families forming, communities hollowed out, rising suicide rates.
Bitcoin hasn't changed in 17 years. Same block every 10 minutes. Same rules. Same energy backing it... Bitcoin isn't evolving. We are.
Nobody actually knows what AGI will be. But the story is doing real work today: justifying the debt, the data centers, the race with China. The fear is the product. The tech is optional.
MicroStrategy holds nearly a million Bitcoin. No one holds more. It gives them zero extra say over how Bitcoin works - the nodes enforce the rules, not the biggest holder. Concentration of coins isn't concentration of power.
This transition doesn't need everyone to move. Every shift in history worked the same way: a willing few build, become visible, and culture catches up. The masses just follow visible power. They always have.
Why does every company race to get bigger? To get closer to the money printer. Once you're too big to fail, you can take unlimited risk. If you win, you keep the gains. If you lose, taxpayers cover the losses.
You borrow $100, you owe $105. The extra $5 was never created. Every dollar in the system came from a loan. The interest didn't. That's why the debt only ever grows.
Remember when people said no one would stream movies? Or buy stuff online instead of driving to a store? Same sentence, new decade: no one will use Bitcoin as money. Every dismissal sounds smart right up until it sounds ridiculous.
Fraud, or rational value creation? Often the same action. The word you pick depends on which side you're on. That word tells me your side, not the truth.
Bailouts, lobbying, too big to fail. People call it corruption. It's the rational play when the money itself is made up. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Who actually pays for bank bailouts? Not just taxpayers. New money is printed to cover the loss. That dilutes every dollar you already hold. The bill lands in your savings, quietly.
AI makes every person more capable. The companies building it need the opposite. Subscriptions, rate limits, regulatory capture. Different costumes, same moat.
A stablecoin is a dollar backed by US debt. That's what a dollar already was... SAME game, new costume. Bitcoin is the only real exit.
Everything is quietly getting worse. Apps, food, work, the news. Nobody can explain why. Power maps one to one onto money right now. So whoever prints the money gets stronger as everything else decays.
