Key Takeaways: Money Systems Work Like Nature: Just like in nature, money systems depend on things like flow, limited supply, and trust to keep working properly. Money Changes with Society: Over time, money has changed—from gold to paper money to Bitcoin—showing how our values and systems grow and shift. Bitcoin as a Fresh Start: Bitcoin is a new kind of money. It uses digital tools and is limited in supply, giving people more control without needing to rely on banks. New Ways to Invest: Real estate and stocks used to be the main way to build wealth, but now digital assets like Bitcoin are becoming important too. Taking Control of Your Money: As old money systems become less trusted, more people are turning to digital finance to take charge of their own money and future.

In this eye-opening and insightful discussion, Chris Perkins, Managing Partner and President of CoinFund and macro thinker and founder of Visserlabs, Jordi Visser, explore the profound impacts of AI and crypto on the future of the global economy and investment landscape. Jordi argues we will soon see a significant societal and financial shift: that traditional business cycles are dead, the Fortune 500 will not exist and Stablecoins are the bridge to the future. Thanks to legislation like the “Genius Act” and “Clarity Act”, Jordi feels investors and financial institutions will see Stablecoins as a critical bridge between traditional and digital investing — and give an accessible money alternative to people in countries with volatile currencies. Jordi and Chris also talk about ALT coins, including what they see as a big boom coming for Ethereum and Robinhood's breakthrough act to take private equity public through tokenization.

In a rare interview since he officially retired last year after a distinguished 54 year career on Wall Street, DICK BOVE, 84, spells out his concerns for the US and global financial system. "I think the financial system of the US has lost its footing," BOVE says in the interview, breaking his silence since his retirement. "I think as this becomes more evident, it is going to have a tremendously negative impact on the economy." Still, his may not be a typical retirement for a Wall Street veteran who was rarely far from the media spotlight, during his long career as an outspoken and frequently quoted financial analyst. He's busy writing a major book out of his home office in Florida. The blockuster book is his in-depth analysis of how a brutal war-like confrontation between the two major powers, the US and China, would unfold.In our interview, BOVE challenges the conventional wisdom on what is driving the rise in the stock market. "Analysis of the market is not being driven by the right theories," says Bove who covered US banks in his latter years on Wall Street.. "We've seen tremendous uncertainty the past 12 months yet the market keeps doing quite well, touching all-time highs." Find out what is driving the rise in equities despite wars, upheavals, tariffs and deep-seated fears, according to BOVE.BOVE covers a range of interconnected themes and developments from the fued between DONALD TRUMP and ELON MUSK (and why it matters); his praise for some of TRUMP's policies and his concerns for his accumulation of a vast personal position in cryptocurrency. "He has to protect the dollar but he is making a fortune on crypto," says BOVE. Both markets can't successfully co-exist if crypto currency ultimately overwhelms the US dollar, BOVE argues. BOVE believes TRUMPS holdings in crypto - a huge $3 billion position, by some estimates - is a conflict of interest for the President, the biggest conflict, he asserts, of any President dating as far back as George Washington.The author of Guardians of Prosperity: Why America Needs Big Banks (2013), BOVE is highly regarded for his life-long study of the US finanancial system and banks, as well as of the Federal Reserve. "US banks at the moment are the best hope of salvaging the financial system," he says. As for the US Federal Reserve, BOVE quips, "If the Fed was a private entity, it would be bankrupt." Then there is the creaky US Social Security, inching closer to financial catastrophe. BOVE's recommendation? Promote a longer work life, well beyond the standard 65 years for many workers with exceptions for the sick and infirm.To Contact us: byrnedesk@gmail.com

Laura Riposo VanDruff, Andrea deLorimier On Thursday, the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services Subcommittee on Financial Institutions held a hearing entitled, ​“Framework for the Future: Reviewing Data Privacy in Today's Financial System.” Hearing testimony explored whether there is need for a federal privacy statute and how the financial services industry, which is already regulated by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) and other sector-specific statutes, would fit into such a standard.

Central banks in major economies have repeatedly misread inflation trends by relying on models that omit a fundamental economic lever: the money supply. In this episode, economist Steve Hanke offers a detailed critique of prevailing post-Keynesian frameworks and the policy missteps that have followed. Drawing on historical and current data, Hanke underscores the predictive power of the quantity theory of money, a model largely excluded from central bank thinking, and explains how ignoring this leads to erroneous inflation forecasts and misguided interventions.   The discussion outlines how inflation, often attributed to exogenous shocks such as supply chain disruptions or geopolitical events, is more reliably explained by changes in the money supply. Hanke presents evidence that inflation today is the result of decisions made one to two years prior, making it critical to focus on monetary trends rather than short-term data fluctuations. He further contrasts U.S. and Chinese monetary responses, highlighting how both under- and over-corrections in money supply growth have resulted in either recessionary pressures or deflation.   Key insights from the episode include: - The quantity theory of money remains one of the most reliable frameworks for anticipating inflation, yet is absent from mainstream economic models used by central banks. - Inflation is always a monetary phenomenon, rising or falling primarily in response to shifts in the money supply, not due to external shocks, which only affect relative prices. - U.S. monetary policy is currently on a path toward recession, not inflation, due to anemic money supply growth since 2022, a trend Hanke predicts will continue unless reversed. - Regime uncertainty, policy volatility that undermines business investment, amplifies economic stagnation. Drawing parallels to the New Deal era, Hanke warns that unclear or shifting fiscal and regulatory rules will delay recovery even further. - Most of the money in circulation is created by commercial banks, not central banks. Post-2008 regulations have constrained these institutions, diminishing their role in supporting economic growth.   Taken together, these points call for a recalibration of macroeconomic policy, placing money supply at the center of analysis and re-empowering commercial banks to function as essential components of the financial system. For senior leaders navigating strategic decisions, the episode provides a timely and data-grounded lens on the structural drivers shaping inflation, recession risks, and economic stability.   Get Steve's book here: https://shorturl.at/t5uDw Making Money Work: How to Rewrite the Rules of Our Financial System   Here are some free gifts for you:   Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?

Financial regulation expert Art Wilmarth calls on Congress to reject the proposed GENIUS Act's misguided approach to regulating stablecoins. He would require all issuers and distributors of stablecoins to be FDIC-insured banks. The GENIUS Act would pose great dangers to our financial system by allowing nonbanks to issue stablecoins without the protections provided by federal deposit insurance and the regulations governing FDIC-insured banks. If enacted, the GENIUS Act would set the stage for future runs on stablecoins, which would likely trigger costly systemic financial crises and government bailouts. An antitrust concern is that the GENIUS Act would allow Big Tech firms and others to acquire nonbank stablecoin issuers and use stablecoins to conduct a banking business. That outcome would severely undermine our longstanding policy of separating banking and commerce and would potentially enable Big Tech firms to dominate financial markets.Professor Wilmarth's recent article on stablecoins and the GENIUS Act is available for free download at https://ssrn.com/abstract=5272859

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, I, Stewart Alsop III, speak with David Packham, CEO and co-founder of Chintai, about the real-world implications of tokenizing assets—from real estate and startup equity to institutional finance and beyond. David shares insights from his time inside Goldman Sachs during the 2008 crash, his journey into blockchain starting in 2016, and how Chintai is now helping reshape the financial system through compliant, blockchain-based infrastructure. We talk about the collapse of institutional trust, the weirdness of meme coins, the possible obsolescence of IPOs, and the deeper societal shifts underway. For more on David and Chintai, check out chintai.io and chintainexus.com.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 – David Packham introduces Chintai and explains the vision of tokenizing real world assets, highlighting the failure of early promises and the need for real transformation in finance. 05:00 – The conversation turns to accredited investors, regulatory controls, and how Chintai ensures compliance while preserving self-custody and smart contract-level restrictions. 10:00 – Discussion of innovative asset models like yield-bearing tokens tied to Manhattan real estate and tokenized private funds, showing how commercial use cases are overtaking DeFi gimmicks. 15:00 – Packham unpacks how liquidity is reshaping startup equity, potentially making IPOs obsolete by offering secondary markets and early investor exits through tokenization. 20:00 – The focus shifts to global crypto hubs. Singapore's limitations, US entrepreneurial resurgence, and Hong Kong's return to crypto leadership come up. 25:00 – Stewart and David discuss the broader decentralization of institutions, including government finance on blockchain, and the surprising effect of CBDCs in China. 30:00 – They explore the cultural dimensions of decentralization, including the network state, societal decline, and the importance of shared values for cohesion. 35:00 – Wrapping up, they touch on the philosophy of investment vs. speculation, the corruption of fiat systems, and the potential for real-world assets to stabilize crypto portfolios.Key InsightsTokenization is transforming access to financial markets: David Packham explains how tokenizing real-world assets—like real estate, private debt, and startup equity—can unlock previously illiquid sectors. Through blockchain, assets become tradable, accessible, and transparent, with innovations like fractional ownership and yield-bearing tokens making markets more efficient. Chintai, his company, enables this transformation by providing compliant infrastructure for institutions and investors to engage with these assets securely.The era of IPOs may be nearing its end: Packham suggests that traditional IPOs, with their delayed liquidity and gatekeeping, are becoming obsolete. With blockchain, companies can now tokenize equity and provide liquidity earlier in their lifecycle. This changes the game for startups and investors alike, enabling ongoing access to investment opportunities and exits without needing to go public in the conventional sense.The crypto industry is maturing beyond speculation: Reflecting on the shift from the ideologically driven early days of crypto to the speculative fervor of ICOs, NFTs, and meme coins, Packham calls for a return to fundamentals. He envisions a future where crypto supports real economic activity, especially through projects that build infrastructure for compliant, meaningful use cases. Degenerate gambling, he argues, may coexist with more serious ventures, but the latter will shape the future.Decentralization is challenging traditional power structures: The conversation touches on how blockchain can reduce favoritism and control in financial systems. Packham highlights how tools like permissioned ledgers and smart contracts can enforce fairness, resist corruption, and enhance access. He contrasts this with legacy systems, which often protect elite interests, drawing on his own experience at Goldman Sachs during the 2008 crisis.Global leadership in crypto is shifting: While Singapore positioned itself as a key crypto hub, Packham notes its lack of entrepreneurial culture compared to the U.S. and China. He observes that regulatory openness is important, but business culture and capital depth are decisive. The U.S. has reemerged as a key player, showing renewed interest and drive, while Hong Kong and China continue to move boldly in this space.The societal impact of financial technology is profound: The episode explores how blockchain might influence governance and societal organization. From the potential tokenization of government operations to more transparent fiscal policies, Packham sees emerging possibilities for better systems—though he warns against naive techno-utopianism. He reflects on the dual-edged nature of technologies like CBDCs, which can enhance transparency but also increase state control.Cultural values matter in shaping the future: The conversation ends on a philosophical note, examining the tension between decentralization, cultural identity, and immigration. Packham emphasizes that shared values and cultural cohesion are crucial for societal stability. He challenges idealistic notions like the “network state” by pointing out that human nature and cultural alignment still play a major role in the success or failure of social systems.

This week, Fil and Pedro dive into history to compare the 2008 crash to today's turmoil to ask the big question: is our financial system fundamentally broken? As a bonus, they unpack 6 key moments in recent history when tariffs shook the world—just like today—and reveal how each one ended. If you want a glimpse of where things might be headed, this is the episode for you.

While other financial markets struggle to regain their footing, this one says there's more disorder still to come along with the negative consequences from it in the real economy.

On today's episode I chat with Rick Kahler, a pioneer in integrating financial planning and psychology and a certified IFS practitioner. We explore how Internal Family Systems can transform our relationship with money, uncovering hidden beliefs and legacy burdens that shape financial behaviors. Rick shares his journey from financial planner to financial therapist, explaining how emotions—not logic—drive most financial decisions. He introduces key concepts like money scripts, financial protectors, and the internal financial system, showing how understanding these parts can help people move from financial stuckness to greater clarity and freedom. Key Takeaways: Money isn't just about numbers—it's deeply tied to our emotions, beliefs, and childhood experiences. Many financial struggles come from polarized parts—a part that wants to save and a part that wants to spend. How do money scripts—unconscious beliefs about money—shape our financial decisions without us even realizing it? Financial shame is often greater than other types of shame, making finances one of the hardest topics to talk about. Legacy burdens around money are passed down through generations, influencing our financial behaviors in ways we may not recognize. Favorite Quote: "Every part has a good intention. Every money script is put in place, every burden is put in place with a good intention…it just doesn't know things are a little different now." – Rick Kahler​ About Rick Kahler: Rick Kahler is a certified financial planner, financial therapist, and IFS practitioner. He is a founding board member and past chair of the Financial Therapy Association and the creator of IFS-Informed Financial Therapy.
