Checkout the WAWD Substack here: https://whatarewedoingonthedesk.substack.com/ In this episode of On the Tape, Danny Moses welcomes James Lavish back to the show for a wide-ranging conversation that goes well beyond Bitcoin. Drawing on his background trading risk arbitrage on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and running the Bitcoin Opportunity Fund, James breaks down why he believes the Fed and Treasury are "trapped" by a looming wall of debt—roughly $14 trillion rolling over in the next year on top of ongoing $2 trillion deficits—and what that means for rates, inflation, and the dollar. Danny and James dig into Kevin Warsh's first meeting as Fed chair and his more hawkish-but-mostly-bark tone, the odds of a July rate hike, and how the war and energy prices are feeding back into inflation. They explore the "hot ball of money" chasing AI and the SpaceX IPO, the K-shaped economy driving retail toward speculative bets, and why James sees a coming rotation of capital out of high-flying AI names and back into Bitcoin. The two also debate Michael Saylor's Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) at length—whether its leverage and perpetual preferred structure leave Saylor in a "trap" or a position of strength—with James arguing the balance sheet concerns are overblown if you believe in Bitcoin long term. James shares how his fund approaches Bitcoin-adjacent energy and AI investments, and Danny closes with his Kalshi picks of the week. --ABOUT THE SHOW For decades, Danny has seen it all on Wall Street and has built his reputation on integrity, curiosity and skepticism that he will bring with him each week.

Michael Saylor fires back with a bullish case built on Bitcoin accumulation, capital markets, and a possible shift in Fed policy. If the market is wrong about rates, the entire bear thesis could unravel faster than anyone expects.

In this fiery Crypto Town Hall discussion, hosts and guests debate whether MicroStrategy's STRC is truly "digital credit" or high-yield preferred equity riding Bitcoin's wave—sparking retail outrage as it traded sharply below par amid leverage unwinds and DeFi vault concerns. Experts break down the risks of emotional investing, Saylor's bold Bitcoin accumulation strategy, and why forced selling fears are overblown given the company's hoard. The conversation pivots to exciting news from Ledn: support for tokenized Tether Gold (XAUT) alongside expanded stablecoins like USDT and USDC for seamless borrowing, repaying, and trading against Bitcoin.

A new era at the Federal Reserve may be reshaping how markets think about rates, volatility, and the role of central banks. But is the market interpreting Kevin Warsh's first moves correctly? This week, we break down Warsh's first FOMC meeting, the end of traditional forward guidance, and why they believe peak hawkishness may already be behind us despite the Fed's messaging.

Don and Tom take on one of investors' biggest blind spots: focusing on tiny costs while ignoring the factors that have a far greater impact on long-term wealth. Using a recent Jason Zweig article as a springboard, they explain how taxes can reduce stock market returns far more than the difference between low-cost fund expense ratios. The discussion covers tax-efficient investing, asset location, ETFs versus mutual funds, dividend taxation, capital gains, and why investors should pay more attention to portfolio design than chasing the lowest possible expense ratio. They also dissect a highly tax-inefficient YieldMax fund tied to MicroStrategy and Bitcoin, illustrating how taxes and poor fund structure can devastate returns. Listener questions cover Morningstar's acquisition of CRSP indexes and whether it threatens Vanguard investors, plus whether a retiree working part-time can contribute earned income to a Roth IRA.0:05 Big-picture investing versus obsessing over tiny details0:39 Why fund expense ratios matter less than most investors think2:06 Jason Zweig's research on taxes reducing long-term market returns3:20 How taxes often outweigh fund expense differences4:06 Qualified dividends versus ordinary income taxation5:03 Why investors should pay attention to after-tax returns5:40 YieldMax funds and the hidden cost of tax inefficiency7:19 The dangers of exotic income-focused ETFs7:48 Why ETFs can be more tax-efficient than mutual funds9:15 Tax knowledge as a critical investing skill10:30 Asset location: where stocks and bonds belong11:20 The YieldMax MicroStrategy fund and Bitcoin losses11:58 The truly important parts of financial planning13:15 Listener question from Longmont, Colorado14:17 Morningstar, CRSP indexes, and Vanguard concerns16:00 Why market-cap indexes are unlikely to be manipulated17:16 Morningstar ratings and conflicts of interest discussion17:58 Thoughts on the military-industrial complex19:23 UFL football, soccer, and sports tangents20:47 Listener question about Roth IRA contributions from part-time work21:30 Filing thresholds and earned income requirements for Roth IRAs23:21 Listener questions, voice submissions, and website tools24:08 AI voices and synthetic Don McDonald25:59 Romper Room memories and closing banterQuestions?

MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor took the Consensus mainstage to unveil what he calls the killer app for Bitcoin: digital credit. Saylor explained how his company's STRC instrument, now the biggest and most liquid preferred stock in the world after just eight months, strips yield from Bitcoin's volatility to create an 11.5% tax-deferred return with near-zero volatility. He argued that digital credit is the missing bridge between Bitcoin and crypto, TradFi and DeFi, and that it opens the door to a new generation of yield coins that could transform the $350 billion stablecoin market and beyond. - Timecodes: 00:00 - Michael Saylor at Consensus Miami 2026 01:28 - How Digital Credit Works 04:47 - Bitcoin vs MSTR vs STRC Performance 07:27 - STRC Becomes The World's Biggest Preferred Stock 12:55 - The Bridge To Digital Money And Yield 18:27 - The DeFi Opportunity For Builders 19:46 - How Yield Coins Are Replacing Stablecoins 22:34 - Building The Future Of Digital Credit

Michael Saylor controla más del 3% de todos los bitcoins que existen, unos 700,000 BTC en la tesorería de Strategy. Esta es la historia de cómo lo hizo y por qué su máquina financiera es tan brillante como peligrosa. En este clip desarmamos el flywheel de Strategy pieza por pieza: del colapso del 99% en el dotcom que marcó a Saylor para siempre, a la deuda convertible al 0% que lo convirtió en el mayor acumulador de Bitcoin del planeta. ▸ El crash de 2000 que forjó su aversión patológica a la fragilidad financiera ▸ Por qué anticipó a las Magnificent 7 desde 2008 (y por qué eso lo llevó a Bitcoin) ▸ Cómo funciona la deuda convertible al 0% y el arbitraje detrás de la tesorería ▸ El flywheel: emitir acciones sobre NAV para comprar más BTC — y cuándo deja de hacer sentido ▸ El conflicto de interés que nadie puede ignorar al escuchar a Saylor ▸ Por qué solo habrá un "MicroStrategy" por activo digital ─ LA INFORMACIÓN DE ESTE PODCAST NO ES UNA RECOMENDACIÓN DE INVERSIÓN.

The Last Trade: Matt Dines, CIO of Build Asset Management, joins to lay out the seismic monetary reshuffling underway in 2026, the unwind of the post-Bretton-Woods offshore-dollar system that ran the global economy from 1971 to 2022, why LIBOR's deprecation and the SOFR transition quietly moved the dollar's command center from London to New York, Scott Bessent's strategy to monetize the asset side of the Treasury balance sheet through the GENIUS Act stablecoin and a Bitcoin reserve targeting 1 million BTC, Tether's December 2023 alignment with the American Sovereignist movement, and the contrarian read on MicroStrategy as a "dollar strategy" rather than a Bitcoin strategy.---

In Boccaccio's final episode, a rotating group of guests joined throughout the show to share their perspectives and send him off. We covered the recent cryptocurrency market downturn, Zcash's sharp decline, Bitcoin ETF outflows, MicroStrategy's strategy and tokenized products, DeFi lending dynamics, Hyperliquid-related flows, token transparency initiatives, blockchain adoption challenges, and investment views across lending, infrastructure, and exchange-related crypto assets.  Thanks for tuning in!

This week on Market Mondays, we broke down everything from the Knicks' impact on MSG stock to the future of AI, Bitcoin, ETFs, and the biggest opportunities shaping the next decade.We discussed why market volatility creates opportunity, what Trump's latest AI comments could mean for investors, OpenAI IPO speculation, the AI race with China, and whether Bitcoin's long-term thesis remains intact. We also covered BlackRock's ETF strategy, Ethereum's role in tokenization, the rise of one-click portfolios, and why Eli Lilly just joined the trillion-dollar club.Plus, we gave our thoughts on SpaceX IPO rumors, CrowdStrike's pullback, Marvell's momentum, MicroStrategy's Bitcoin strategy, and how to build a portfolio designed to win in the AI era.

The whole crew is back for another roundtable, and things get wild right out of the gate. I sat down with Steve, Mechanic, and Jeff to talk through the absolute mess that is the current state of things. Jeff shares an update on his Canadian immigration purgatory, which spirals into a bigger conversation about living like an outlaw and whether any of us are truly free from the system. But we couldn't ignore the recent news. We talk about the crazy story of a guy who used Claude to brute-force a lost Bitcoin wallet from eleven years ago. It really makes you rethink how safe your standard passphrases actually are, and we share some wild visual memory tricks to secure your setup. We also rip into the current hype around ETF inflows and outflows. People track these numbers like they are predicting the future, but we explain why they really just tell you exactly what the market already did. And of course, we had to get into the technical fights that never seem to end. Steve brings some fresh data exposing the true bimodal distribution of network users right now. We spend a good amount of time arguing about Taproot, chain bloat, and the massive confusion between true censorship and simply stopping spam. Mechanic lays out his latest case for BIP 110 and makes a really compelling point about why the healthiest participants for the network are actually the ones willing to mine at a complete technical loss. It sounds completely backward, but it makes total sense once you hear his breakdown. We wrap things up by looking at the broader picture of decentralised movements. From Occupy Wall Street falling apart to the current crop of hijacked political factions, we ask if it is even possible to build a movement without a vulnerable central leader. Plus, we drop some thoughts on local LLMs and the ongoing Prime Trust bankruptcy drama.

Eind vorige zomer kondigde cryptodienstverlener Amdax een nieuw initiatief aan: een Nederlands bedrijf dat bitcoin op de balans zou zetten en daarmee naar Euronext Amsterdam zou gaan. Het heette toen Amsterdam Bitcoin Treasury Strategy, kortweg AMBTS. De ambitie was groot. Op termijn wilde het bedrijf 1 procent van alle bitcoin bezitten, ruim 210.000 munten. Voor institutionele partijen als pensioenfondsen en verzekeraars, die vaak niet rechtstreeks in crypto mogen beleggen, zou een beursgenoteerd aandeel een gereguleerde ingang bieden tot de koers van bitcoin. Inmiddels is het beeld anders. De toezichthouder AFM is voor een notering op de Amsterdamse beurs gaan liggen, en het bedrijf onderging een rebranding. Amsterdam Bitcoin Treasury Strategy heet nu Ambitious en presenteert zich niet langer als treasury company maar als bitcoin operating company. Waar het eerst draaide om koerswinst en een accumulatiedoel, gaat het nu over operationele kasstromen en een capaciteitsambitie. Geen vaste doelstelling van 210.000 bitcoin meer, maar het voornemen om die hoeveelheid in te zetten als brandstof, onderpand en werkkapitaal binnen wat het de bitcoineconomie noemt. In deze aflevering spreekt Daniel Mol met Lucas Wensing, CEO van Amdax en medeoprichter van Ambitious, over wat er precies misging. Op basis waarvan weigert de AFM toegang tot de beurs? Wensing noemt een geweigerde prospectus zeldzaam en stelt dat de toezichthouder onder meer struikelt over de ambitie om 1 procent van alle bitcoin te bezitten. De zaak ligt nu bij het College van Beroep voor het bedrijfsleven, de hoogste bestuursrechter op economisch terrein. Wat gebeurt er als Ambitious gelijk krijgt, en wat als het ongelijk krijgt? Het gesprek gaat ook over het bredere speelveld. Het afgelopen jaar gingen veel treasury companies kopje onder, en min of meer tegelijk met AMBTS verscheen in Nederland ook Treasury, een initiatief rond David Bailey van Nakamoto en de gebroeders Winklevoss. Waar zit volgens Wensing de echte winst in het operaten van bitcoin, en welke bedrijven maken dat model naast MicroStrategy waar? En dan de praktische vraag: nu er 30 miljoen euro is opgehaald, is dat al omgezet in bitcoin, en zitten de investeerders hier eigenlijk nog op te wachten? Co-host is Jacob Boersma.

The unexpected blowout in the May jobs report just sent shockwaves through the financial markets, adding 172,000 jobs and more than doubling Wall Street's expectations. This undeniable economic strength severely disrupted the Federal Reserve rate cut narrative, causing treasury yields to spike and sparking an immediate repricing across yield-sensitive assets like tech stocks, real estate, and cryptocurrency.In the crypto sector, the liquidation cascade was intensified when MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor sold 32 Bitcoin, cracking his long-standing narrative to never sell and leading to a massive psychology shift among investors. Despite $1.7 billion in crypto value being wiped out in a single day and prediction markets shifting toward a potential rate hike this year, long-term fundamentals remain strong for investors who can navigate the volatility and capitalize on the capital rotation into AI infrastructure.Key Topics DiscussedImpact of the May jobs report on financial markets and stock valuationsFederal Reserve interest rate predictions and surging treasury bond yieldsMichael Saylor's unexpected Bitcoin sale and the resulting crypto psychology shiftBroadcom's AI chip guidance and the subsequent tech stock pullbackThe direct correlation between high treasury yields and asset repricingCapital rotation from cryptocurrency assets into AI infrastructureMassive institutional unrealized losses in Bitcoin and EthereumPrivate debt funds and utilizing asset-backed lending strategiesKey TakeawaysStrong economic data can negatively impact asset prices by eliminating the immediate justification for Federal Reserve rate cuts.The 10-year Treasury yield spiking above 4.5% instantly changes the economics of real estate deals and pushes out expected refinancing windows.MicroStrategy's unprecedented sale of 32 Bitcoin proved that narrative shifts can trigger rapid liquidation cascades in volatile markets.Market pullbacks are healthy corrections that offer long-term investors valuable buying opportunities at discounted asset valuations.Shifting investment strategy toward first-position, asset-backed lending can provide crucial downside protection during periods of market turbulence.Connect & Take Action:Wealth Intelligence Brief: Text "WIB" to 844-447-1555 to get Matty's free macro data, real estate intel, and crypto signals delivered to your inbox 3 times a week.Imagos Income Fund: Text "INCOME" or "DEALS" to 844-447-1555 to learn more about Matty A's private debt fund targeting 10% fixed returns paid out monthly.

Demetrick and Jesse hold down the fort (Corey ditched the show to chase what turned out to be a cardinal in North Carolina) for an episode about cracks forming in every direction at once.Michael Saylor just sold Bitcoin. Only thirty two coins, but the symbolism is louder than the size. The diamond hands era of MicroStrategy may be ending, and the bear is getting cozy on the couch.Meanwhile the AI IPO machine is sucking the life out of every other market. SpaceX is reportedly skipping the traditional IPO path and getting listed directly into the S&P 500, which would route retirement and 401k money straight into the company. The guys break down why that looks less like innovation and more like a setup for a future bailout, and what xAI, Anthropic, and OpenAI hitting the public markets at the same time means for liquidity everywhere else.From there it gets real. Demetrick's algorithm has stopped showing him reverse seared filet mignon and started feeding him cheese crusted liver and gourmet PB&J recipes. His luxury car uncle just posted a Hyundai Sonata. The Great Depression cosplay is in full swing, and the guys compare rice and bean stockpiles.Plus Corey calls in to explain the Y2K38 bug from first principles, with Demetrick finally understanding binary after a lifetime of bad teachers, and a fully unhinged closing segment about why Black Widow is secretly a wildcard and why Avengers Doomsday is going to print money.Drop questions in the YouTube comments.

Udi Wertheimer, Founder of Taproot Wizards joins us to talk about the shifting narratives of Bitcoin, the structural flaws of layer-2 scaling solutions, and how stablecoins enable Hyperliquid and Polymarket. He critiques Michael Saylor's aggressive financial engineering tactics, explaining why MicroStrategy stopping its Bitcoin buying spree is a far greater systemic risk to the market than Saylor actually selling his bags.

Then he dismantles what he calls the "holy grail" of mainstream financial planning, the average rate of return. Using the exact numbers from a popular Dave Ramsey article, Hans proves that a projected $2.6 million retirement would have actually delivered far less, even with perfect hindsight and zero down years to spare. If you've ever been shown a smooth, parabolic growth chart by an advisor, this episode will change how you read it forever.Chapters: 00:00 – Opening segment 00:35 – Two things at once: record highs and record-low sentiment 02:10 – The cash flow vs. net worth philosophy 04:30 – Building a guaranteed cash flow floor instead of chasing FOMO 07:25 – Is AI a bubble? Bubbles with value vs. bubbles without 13:40 – Why AI is shattering earnings: more profit on a shrinking workforce 17:25 – The companies that won't survive the shakeout 22:30 – Oil, the Fed, and why rate cuts don't move the market like they used to 27:50 – The myth of the perfect parabola 29:25 – Math is not money: the grift in action 33:40 – $2.6 million vs. reality: running 30 years of actual market data 36:20 – Grifter math and the 34% shortfall 38:35 – The erosion of the castle: layering in fees and taxes 43:50 – Why you only get one shot at this 45:00 – Where guaranteed compounding actually lives 50:40 – Closing segmentKey Takeaways:Two opposite things can be true at the same time. The stock market has hit roughly 21 record highs this year while consumer sentiment sits near historic lows. Understanding why both exist at once is the key to reading today's economy without panic or FOMO.Cash flow beats net worth. A large, untouchable retirement account at 65 is worth less than a guaranteed, steadily increasing floor of monthly cash flow you can rely on. Build the floor first, and the question of "what will my 401k be worth?" stops mattering.Record profits are coming from shrinking workforces. Companies are blowing out earnings reports by replacing expensive human labor with cheap AI tools. Same revenue, drastically lower cost, and profit margins explode. That is why the market climbs while sentiment falls.The average rate of return is a meaningless metric. The math is correct, but the money is wrong. Averaging 100% gains and 50% losses says you made 25% a year, when in reality you broke even or worse. Averages hide the gravity of negative numbers.The projected $2.6 million was never real. Using the exact data behind a Dave Ramsey 12% claim, $100,000 over 30 years should have grown to $2.585 million. Run the actual year-by-year returns and you end up with $1.72 million, a shortfall of roughly $857,000, with perfect hindsight and only six down years.Guaranteed compounding only exists in one place. Every other vehicle, from high-yield savings to MicroStrategy preferred shares, has rates that fluctuate. Contractual, uninterrupted compounding growth lives only in whole life cash value, where the best case is the case you actually get.

Matt opened the show with a simple message: if you're a long-term holder, this is probably the time to close CoinMarketCap, shut down the computer, and go enjoy your life. Bitcoin briefly touched roughly $61,500 after trading near $85,000 just two weeks earlier, while Ethereum fell below $1,800. The market was hit with approximately $1.76 billion in liquidations over a 24-hour period, and ETF outflows have now stretched to thirteen consecutive sessions, totaling roughly $4.4 billion since mid-May. Matt described the recent price action as a classic "dead cat bounce," where a market crashes so hard that it temporarily rebounds before settling lower. While some analysts, including Standard Chartered, have suggested the bottom may be close, Matt remains skeptical. His view is that a 50% drawdown from all-time highs does not automatically mean the pain is over. Historically, Bitcoin has experienced even deeper corrections, and he cautioned that another significant leg lower remains possible. A major point of discussion was Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) and the growing speculation surrounding its massive Bitcoin holdings. Prediction markets are increasingly focused on questions surrounding Strategy's future purchases, index inclusion, and financial stability. While Matt does not believe the company is facing an imminent crisis, he noted that any meaningful Bitcoin sales by Strategy would inject significant liquidity into an already fragile market and could intensify downward pressure on price. Matt also reflected on the emotional reality of crypto bear markets. No matter how committed someone is to Bitcoin, prolonged drawdowns eventually test everyone's conviction. Even the most bullish investors experience moments of doubt. His advice remains the same as it has been throughout previous cycles: if you're a believer in the long-term thesis, continue dollar-cost averaging if it fits your plan, avoid emotional decisions, and remember that bear markets are designed to make people question everything. By the end of the episode, Bitcoin was trading around $63,460, Ethereum near $1,772, XRP at $1.17, and Solana below $70. The overall crypto market capitalization had fallen to roughly $2.2 trillion, while the Fear & Greed Index registered an "Extreme Fear" reading of 19. Matt argued that true capitulation may not have arrived yet. In his view, the real bottom typically comes when investors become completely despondent and the broader market once again declares that Bitcoin is dead. Until then, his message was simple: enjoy the weekend, spend time with family, and don't let the charts control your life. Summary: Bitcoin's sharp decline, record ETF outflows, and extreme fear readings have pushed the market deeper into bear-market territory. While some analysts believe a bottom may be forming, Matt remains cautious, warning that further downside is still possible and encouraging investors to focus on long-term discipline rather than short-term panic.

Is MicroStrategy's new preferred stock STRC really the next big financial product — or just a shiny object designed to harvest your savings?   In this episode of More Than Commas, Paul breaks down STRC, MicroStrategy's preferred stock promising 11% annual returns paid monthly — and why those numbers deserve a much closer look. Using a Coffeezilla analysis as a jumping-off point, Paul unpacks exactly how this product works, who it's really designed for, and what the fine print means for everyday investors.   They cover the mechanics behind STRC, its deep ties to Bitcoin, the risks most people overlook, and why comparing it to a bank account or money market fund is dangerously misleading.   More importantly, this episode is a reminder that when something promises double-digit returns with minimal explanation, the real question isn't how much you could gain — it's what you could lose. --  Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction to STRC and MicroStrategy 01:30 – What STRC is and how it works 05:00 – The 11% return promise explained 09:45 – Coffeezilla's analysis breakdown 15:20 – Bitcoin exposure and concentrated risk 20:10 – Why STRC is not a bank or money market account 25:30 – Red flags in the pitch and financial engineering 30:00 – What retail investors need to know 35:00 – Final thoughts and long-term strategy reminders -- #microstrategy #bitcoin #STRC #investingtips #wealthbuilding #financialeducation #morethancommas #personalfinance #cryptowarning #financialplanning  -- This Material is Intended for General Public Use.

Bitcoin's next breakout may not come from ETFs or institutions. It may come from retail panic, digital credit, and a supply shock hiding in plain sight.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 069: Why Oil Refuses To Explode Despite The Iran War, Why Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy Is Bitcoin's Biggest Hidden Risk, and How The K-Shaped Economy Is Splitting America In Two | Doomberg & James LavishIran's conflict is threatening the Strait of Hormuz — and energy markets are not pricing it in. Doomberg and James Lavish join BTC Sessions to break down what an oil shock at $150+ means for the global macro picture, Bitcoin's role as sound money in an energy war, and whether Michael Saylor's Strategy dominance is quietly keeping new investors out of Bitcoin.In this conversation you'll learn why Doomberg believes the energy market is sending signals most macro analysts are ignoring, how James Lavish connects an oil supply shock to accelerated monetary debasement and Bitcoin demand, what specific risks Strategy's outsized Bitcoin concentration creates for retail adoption, and why both guests see the current geopolitical moment as one of the most important macro setups for Bitcoin in 2026.

Michael Saylor is the CEO of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), the first publicly traded company to convert a material portion of its balance sheet into bitcoin. In this conversation, we revisit the very first time Michael Saylor ever publicly talked about bitcoin — recorded in late 2020 when bitcoin was trading around $10,000. We discuss his background founding MicroStrategy at age 24, the macro conditions that led him to reject cash as a store of value, why he chose bitcoin over gold and real estate, how he acquired $425 million in bitcoin without moving the market, and why he believes bitcoin is on a path to rival or surpass gold's market cap.========================Consensus Miami is the largest crypto conference in the world — May 5-7, 2026 in Miami. 20,000 attendees. 72% director-level or above.

Grab your free seat to the 2-Day AI Mastermind: https://link.outskill.com/PETERSCHIFFAP4Donald Trump's Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh spent two hours dodging every meaningful question in his Senate confirmation hearing, and Peter Schiff watched the whole thing so you didn't have to. Warsh refused to say whether Trump lost the 2020 election, wouldn't name a single Trump policy he disagreed with, and couldn't answer the obvious question of what 1% interest rates would do to consumer prices — even though he'd already admitted inflation comes from government spending and money printing.Before breaking down the hearing, Schiff delivers a history of the Federal Reserve that most economics PhDs have never learned: why the Fed was created as a private bank to issue superior banknotes backed by 40% gold, how the original act prohibited the Fed from owning treasuries, and how World War I opened the door to everything wrong with monetary policy today. He also takes aim at MicroStrategy's Strategy preferred stock as a textbook Ponzi scheme — Saylor can only pay the 11.5% yield by selling new shares, and the fine print lets him stop paying whenever he wants.Chapters:00:00 Cold Open and Intro00:57 Warsh Nomination Stakes02:34 InvestingPro Sponsor Demo07:32 Why Fed History Matters08:08 Before the Fed Era11:12 Fed Independence and Constitution14:00 Superior Banknotes Explained17:40 Outskill Sponsor Break21:47 Elastic Money Supply Myth25:49 War Finance and Treasuries32:16 Hearing Reactions Begin33:05 Trump Spending And Inflation34:02 Warren Attacks And Rate Cuts35:17 Warsh Denies Being Puppet36:34 Fed Praise And Wealth38:16 Price Stability Redefined41:15 Dodging Trump Questions43:45 One Percent Rates And QE46:06 Inflation Tax And Deficits47:00 Fed Chair And The Dollar49:54 No CBDC Crypto Pandering50:46 MicroStrategy Ponzi Rant54:20 Lawyer Evasions And Politics57:34 Warsh Verdict And Gold Pitch01:02:11 Final Wrap And SignoffFollow @peterschiffX: https://twitter.com/peterschiffInstagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiffTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficialFacebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffFree Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.comBook Store: https://schiffradio.com/booksSign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.comSchiff Gold News: https://www.schiffgold.com/news#PeterSchiffShow #FedChair #KevinWarshOur Sponsors:* Check out Fast Growing Trees and use my code GOLD for a great deal: https://www.fast-growing-trees.com* Check out GhostBed: https://ghostbed.com/PETER* Check out Grammarly: https://grammarly.com* Check out Quince: https://quince.com/GOLD* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
