Topics:A Deep Dive into Socialist Equality: Elections, Policies, and the FutureIn this special episode of 'The Iron Fist in the Velvet Glove' podcast, host Trevor is joined by Max Boddy and Warwick Dove from the Socialist Equality Party. The discussion delves into the hurdles faced by the party in registering candidates due to stringent requirements by the Australian Electoral Commission. Warwick shares his journey from industry worker to party member, highlighting the limitations of trade unions and the Labor Party. Max discusses his political awakening at university and the necessity of socialism as a response to the failures of capitalism. The conversation expands to the party's policies on housing, the impact of the anti-Semitism campaign, and the broader goals of socialist revolution. The episode concludes with a reflection on the challenges posed by identity politics and mainstream media's role in shaping public perception.00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:33 Party Registration Issues05:53 Warwick's Background and Union Experience17:18 Max's Background and Political Awakening20:31 Critique of Capitalism and Call for Socialism26:12 Addressing Common Criticisms of Socialism35:25 Specific Policies and Election Talking Points37:05 Redirecting Military Spending to Public Programs37:50 Critique of Housing Policies and Tax Structures39:11 Media's Role in Shaping Public Perception39:55 Antisemitism and Legislative Responses44:02 The Intersection of Media and Government53:07 Revolutionary Optimism and Workers' Struggles01:07:49 Identity Politics and the Working Class01:12:27 Final Thoughts and Call to ActionTo financially support the Podcast you can make:a per-episode donation via Patreon or one-off donation via credit card; orone-off or regular donations via Paypal orif you are into Cryptocurrency you can send Satoshis.

Quantum Blockchain Technologies PLC (AIM:QBT) CEO Francesco Gardin talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest advancements. Gardin revealed that Quantum Blockchain is now able to mine Bitcoin in real-time using its AI Oracle technology, highlighting a significant milestone. "We are mining with our FPGA bitcoins," Gardin said, clarifying that while they are dealing in Satoshis rather than full bitcoins, the company is preparing for a live demo to present its technology to potential customers. Gardin discussed the unique challenges Quantum Blockchain faces, including the limitations of FPGA chips compared to ASIC chips, which impact the speed of accumulating results. To overcome this, the company is utilising time-lapse techniques and working on making the demo presentable to industry partners. He shared insights from a recent US Bitcoin conference, where the AI Oracle received positive feedback, enhancing Quantum Blockchain's credibility. "When they associate a face... the entire credibility changes," he noted, emphasising the importance of direct engagement with industry leaders. Gardin also provided updates on Method C's commercialisation prospects and reassured shareholders that Methods A and B remain in the pipeline. He revealed the company's excitement about upcoming access to Intel chips, which could unlock further potential for Method B. Quantum Blockchain is preparing a 3D graphics video to simplify the explanation of Method C's disruptive impact on the Bitcoin algorithm. Gardin described the interest in the company's technology as "huge" within the crypto community. For more insightful videos, make sure to visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

The central theme of this podcast revolves around the multifaceted political landscape, wherein we critically examine the emergence of Clive Palmer's newly minted political party, the Trumpet of Patriots. We delve into the implications of this development amidst discussions on pertinent issues such as proposed alterations to penalty rates and the strategic maneuvers of the Chinese Navy near Australian waters, which have evoked significant public concern. Furthermore, we contemplate the opposition's response to these unfolding events, alongside reflections on missed opportunities in Australian diplomacy, particularly concerning engagement with China. As we navigate through the complexities of global affairs—including the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the provocative assertions made by Donald Trump—we invite our audience to engage with our insights on these pressing matters. Join us as we dissect these topics with the intent to illuminate the current state of political discourse and its broader ramifications.To financially support the Podcast you can make:a per-episode donation via Patreon or one-off donation via credit card; orone-off or regular donations via Paypal orif you are into Cryptocurrency you can send Satoshis.

They explore the implications of ISDS clauses in trade agreements, highlighting Clive Palmer's alarming attempts to cash in on them, which could cost Australia billions.

This episode delves into the complex and often misunderstood events surrounding the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, challenging the widely accepted narrative of a brutal massacre. Trevor examines various reports and perspectives, revealing that while violence occurred in Beijing, the narrative of thousands of students being killed in the square itself may be significantly exaggerated or even fabricated. He discusses the involvement of American foreign policy and intelligence agencies in the protests, suggesting that the movement was not solely a spontaneous call for democracy but rather influenced by external forces seeking regime change in China. Through a careful review of testimonials, journalistic accounts, and historical context, Trevor aims to shed light on the realities of what transpired, emphasizing that the tragedy in Tiananmen Square was not as straightforward as often portrayed. As he explores these themes, he invites listeners to reconsider their views on the incident and its implications for understanding modern China.To financially support the Podcast you can make:a per-episode donation via Patreon or one-off donation via credit card; orone-off or regular donations via Paypal orif you are into Cryptocurrency you can send Satoshis.

1. The Social Security Fairness ActThe Social Security Fairness Act, effective as of January 5, sparked considerable discussion in this episode. This act impacts approximately 2.8 million people, reversing prior restrictions that prevented those with government pensions from receiving full Social Security benefits. While this legislative change has drawn bipartisan support (76 out of 100 senators voted for it), it also raises questions about its implications on the Social Security trust fund, which is anticipated to see a reduced lifespan of 6 to 12 months as a result. Luke, Diamond Hands D, and Tony delved into personal anecdotes and the broader economic impacts, including how this reform affects specific people, such as educators who may not meet the qualifying work requirements.2. Economic Concerns and Government DebtKey economic issues, including government fiscal management, were focal points. The hosts critiqued the handling of the national debt and the lack of a balanced budget. They discussed a narrative pushed by some economists that compares national debt to total national assets, with significant skepticism about its validity. The discussion highlighted misunderstandings surrounding national debt in relation to individual wealth and debated the extreme scenario of the government liquidating personal assets during economic crises.3. Mark Zuckerberg and Social Media TransformationMark Zuckerberg's policy changes for Meta (formerly Facebook) were dissected, particularly the shift towards a community-based fact-checking system similar to Elon Musk's Twitter (now X). This move is seen as an effort to reduce bias and promote freer speech on the platform. The speculation ran deep into potential governmental influence on social media censorship and whether Zuckerberg's shift was economically motivated, influenced by Musk's success. Additionally, Zuckerberg's personal style evolution, including his expensive watch, was humorously noted as a sign of his changing image.4. Bitcoin and Alternative CurrenciesBitcoin remains a frequently debated topic, with discussions focusing on its role as an alternative to traditional currency. Luke argued that Bitcoin's true potential will be realized when it is valued in its own unit, Satoshis, rather than compared against the dollar. The hosts emphasized Bitcoin's decentralized nature, designed to empower individual investors, but raised concerns about its current treatment as a commodity, which could limit its original purpose. This conversation highlighted the blend of traditional long-term investment strategies alongside modern alternatives like cryptocurrencies for a diversified asset portfolio.5. Barriers to Building WealthA paradigm shift towards consumerism and distrust in financial systems was cited as a significant barrier to building wealth. The conversation touched on generational differences in attitudes towards saving and investment. Early savings and investing were advocated as crucial for wealth accumulation, but societal trends and the allure of immediate consumption pose challenges. Modern investment options' complexity, exacerbated by the influence and distraction of social media, was contrasted with simpler, longer-term approaches like 401(k) plans. Apps like Robinhood were criticized for gamifying investing, potentially leading users towards gambling behavior rather than sound financial strategies.These hot topics not only provide a snapshot of current economic, political, and social dynamics but also illustrate the broad range of discussions hosted on "Capitalist Investor."

Cryptocurrency enthusiasts can't fathom why Bitcoin will fail. If you tell them that you're not investing in Bitcoin or other cryptos, they look at you like an uneducated investor, a sheep following the crowd without thinking for yourself. The promise of Bitcoin is so great that you'd have to be an outright fool to deny it, and anyone who refutes the future golden age of a decentralized society is simply mistaken and is only coping with the oncoming collapse of fiat currency and Western civilization. The problem with that theory? None of it is grounded in reality. Today, BiggerPockets CEO Scott Trench is going to prove it. After years of research on Bitcoin, the blockchain, and cryptocurrency as a whole, Scott has come to a simple conclusion: Bitcoin isn't worth it. In fact, Bitcoin may be worth, unsurprisingly, nothing! But before all you Bitcoin maximalists come out of the woodwork, claiming we're forever bullish on index funds and real estate, hear out Scott's argument. Scott will explain the case for Bitcoin and why its end goal is actually quite altruistic. However, five fatal flaws will stop Bitcoin from ever becoming a world reserve currency or replacing fiat money. Besides its fatal flaws, Bitcoin isn't a foolproof cryptocurrency by any means, and we'll prove it! Finally, Scott gives his Bitcoin price prediction and his recommendation if you do want to hold some Satoshis. In This Episode We Cover The rational investor's case against Bitcoin and why it's NOT an investment The reasons why Bitcoin could change society for the better (but probably won't) Five fatal flaws of Bitcoin that will stop it from ever taking over fiat currency How adopting Bitcoin could lead to a crashing economy with no growth The blockchain's big problems and proof that the world isn't ready to adopt cryptocurrency Scott's long-term Bitcoin price prediction that will shock Bitcoin maximalists And So Much More!
