GRADUALLY, THEN SUDDENLY: THE BANKRUPTCY OF DETROIT, 93min., USA, Documentary Once heralded as the spirit of American manufacturing, music and democracy, Detroit descended into disrepair and insolvency over five decades culminating in the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history in 2013. Gradually, Then Suddenly is the story of one city's climb into and out of bankruptcy toward a future of possibilities. http://www.bankruptcyofdetroit.com/ Sam Katz - Director Statement I have spent my entire professional life engaged in cities: as an undergraduate student in urban affairs; a graduate student in urban policy analysis: a staffer for the Lindsay Administration in New York; as a program analyst for a Philadelphia civic organization; as a political campaign manager; as a municipal financial advisor; as a candidate for mayor of Philadelphia; as a CEO for a business leadership civic organization; and now as a documentary filmmaker. The opportunity to tell the story of Detroit's descent into fiscal and service insolvency and through its historic and unprecedented bankruptcy struck me as a filmmaker's dream comes true. While serving as Chair of the Board of the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority, a state-created body with responsibility for oversight of Philadelphia's finances, I began monitoring the fiscal distress that was making bankruptcy a real possibility in Detroit. I had spent 25 years of my professional career as a financial advisor to state and local governments across the country while serving as CEO of Public Financial Management (now The PFM Group). I had assisted numerous cities that were undergoing fiscal distress but never one that was a bona fide candidate for bankruptcy. When bankruptcy emerged as a serious option in Detroit, I began thinking that a documentary on a major municipal bankruptcy could make for fascinating and entertaining film. After seeing THE BIG SHORT, which made subprime mortgages and collateralized debt obligations an entertaining and engaging story, I felt confident that the Detroit bankruptcy would be a terrific subject for a documentary. Commencing in late January 2016, I reached out to many of the people who had played a significant role in the bankruptcy proceedings and spent time researching the story. After numerous trips to Detroit, I knew we needed the participation of the professionals who participated in the bankruptcy case as well as Detroiters who had lived through the city's decline and eventual bankruptcy. That process took about a year. I was fortunate to assemble a terrific team of experts and production professionals. Detroit has long been America's city. It was one of the nation's most significant centers of industrial production, marketing, design and engineering. It's music music and culture gave America its soul. Important developments in organized labor, the rise of black political power, racial segregation and the creation of middle class, suburbanization, deindustrialization and ultimately municipal decline were Detroit exports. Bankruptcy and the extraordinary changes occurring in the city are but another in a series of events that make Detroit a bellwether community for the best and worst of America. In this bankruptcy, the state of Michigan assumed control of the city's finances and operations through the appointment of an emergency manager. Then it borrowed the powers of the federal government to impair contracts and restructure the city's finances and operations. One participant described the bankruptcy as “asset-less,” but in fact Detroit owed at least one very valuable asset: the Detroit Institute of the Arts and its priceless collection. Through an ingenious and audacious plan to infuse the city with fresh cash from philanthropy, the DIA and the state of Michigan, Detroit was able to save its museum and art while nearly fully honoring its pension obligation to first responders and dramatically reducing the impact for civilian retirees. The exit from bankruptcy occurred in just 16 months, ending in December 2014. Democracy was suspended. And the process of “kicking the can down the road” finally ended. Complex negotiations involving thousands of creditors required a collaboration of unlikely heroes willing to make previously impossible choices and to do so in a political environment made possible only in bankruptcy. Today Detroit is alive and aspiring. That is happening precisely as a reflection of the heart and determination of its people and some courageous compromise between major stakeholders. The outcome—the survival of Detroit and an ever-widening sense of possibility for the city's future—was indeed a grand bargain. We are all very excited to be poised to tell that story to a national audience. Sam Katz - Co-Producer/Co-Director Playing on the Film Festival Streaming service later this month.

How far back do you need to look to see history repeat itself? Often, you don't have to look far. But what if you looked back 500 years, could you find a pattern that might predict tomorrow?Ray Dalio's, Principals For Dealing With The Changing World Order, focuses on patterns, of both economic and political occurrences. Ray takes a look through history's most turbulent economic and political periods to break down why the future will likely be different from those we've experienced in our time... but similar to what happened long ago.

“It is unnerving when a bunch of virtue signalers...having no appreciation for the fact that 85% of the people in the world live in poverty and they don't have access to a reliable form of money that could pull them out of poverty, that they would start to criticize without having any understanding.”— Parker LewisLocation: GuatemalaDate: Wednesday 26th MayProject: Head of Business DevelopmentRole: HostThe Gradually, Then Suddenly series by Parker Lewis on the Unchained Capital blog is an excellent resource for readers with any level of knowledge. Bitcoin is not intuitive at first, and these articles cover many of the most common sticking points people come across when they fall down the rabbit hole. Parker's writings deeply examine the value proposition of Bitcoin from a first-principles basis.To truly understand Bitcoin, one must answer the question: what is money?In this interview, I talk to Parker Lewis, Head of Business Development at Unchained Capital. We discuss money as a coordination function of society, Bitcoin's energy usage, and why you cannot copy Bitcoin.This episode's sponsors:Gemini - Buy Bitcoin instantlyBlockFi - The future of Bitcoin financial servicesSportsbet.io - Online sportsbook & casino that accepts BitcoinCasa - The leading provider of Bitcoin multisig key security.Exodus - The world's leading Desktop, Mobile and Hardware crypto wallets.Ledger - State of the art Bitcoin hardware walletRevolut - A better way to handle your money-----WBD358 - Show Notes-----If you enjoy The What Bitcoin Did Podcast you can help support the show by doing the following:Become a Patron and get access to shows early or help contributeMake a tip:Bitcoin: 3FiC6w7eb3dkcaNHMAnj39ANTAkv8Ufi2SQR Codes: BitcoinIf you do send a tip then please email me so that I can say thank youSubscribe on iTunes | Spotify | Stitcher | SoundCloud | YouTube | Deezer | TuneIn | RSS FeedLeave a review on iTunesShare the show and episodes with your friends and familySubscribe to the newsletter on my websiteFollow me on Twitter Personal | Twitter Podcast | Instagram | Medium | YouTubeIf you are interested in sponsoring the show, you can read more about that here or please feel free to drop me an email to discuss options.
"The greatest trick that central banks ever pulled was convincing the world that individuals must perpetually take risk just to preserve value already created (and saved). It is insane, and the only practical solution is to find a better form of money which eliminates the negative asymmetry inherent to systemic currency debasement." - Parker Lewis Let the Gradually, Then Suddenly series never die! Installment #17 comes to us in the 2020 edition of The Bitcoin Times. Parker Lewis hits it out of the park again with a piece detailing the process by which our monetary system has led to a massive, bloated, and over-financialized economy, forcing people to fight just to keep the value they already earned. "Bitcoin is the Great Definancialization" https://medium.com/the-bitcoin-times/bitcoin-is-the-great-definancialization-65b4c27a8371 Don't forget to check out the graphics in the piece above and drop some massive applause, also explore the other brilliant pieces in the newest edition of The Bitcoin Times. https://sites.google.com/getamber.io/thebitcointimes/ A huge Thank You to the Bitcoin Audible Sponsors: Hexa Wallet - Mobile wallet, seedless, batching, custom fees, multiple accounts & more (guyswann.com/Hexa) BitBox - Minimal, user friendly, secure, Swiss made, open source, hardware wallet (guyswann.com/BitBox) LVL.co - The first Free, no-fee exchange & Bitcoin banking services! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bitcoinaudible/message
"All you can do with Bitcoin once you buy it is sell it, but you need somebody else to buy it from you." - Peter Schiff James Woods shared a tweet with what is, in the end, a generally rational skepticism and common initial impression of Bitcoin. From an article at Fox Business, that based its argument on a few quotes from the king and queen of Bitcoin trolls, Peter Schiff and Nouriel Roubini. "You can't do anything with it but sell it," they claim, "its a huge scam and pump and dump" they added. As a Bitcoiner I would obviously argue this is completely false, but its not easy at first to see why, and it takes a huge amount of history, and close scrutiny to see the bigger picture. That's why in this episode, I hope to answer the article, and maybe shed some light on why its views are wrong. Maybe James will listen to it, maybe not, but hopefully some skeptic out there can find value in hearing answers to very common, but ultimately very wrong views as to what Bitcoin is. Todays episode, I get into all of it, with "Dear James Woods." The tweet and article in question: https://twitter.com/RealJamesWoods/status/1329513077654528002?s=20 As mentioned, a brilliant and extensive series hitting so many of these concepts in far greater detail, by the amazing author Parker Lewis, is the Gradually, Then Suddenly, series.

"The same is not true of the current monetary system. In the current structure, dollars can either be earned by delivering value to others within the economy, or conversely, if the Fed decides to hand out more money. And this happens quite frequently. Of all the dollars that exist today, over 80% have been created and allocated by the Fed since 2008" - Parker Lewis The conclusion of Bitcoin is One for All, the latest installment of the Gradually, then Suddenly series by Parker Lewis. What is the true price setter in the economy? How is imbalance sustained for so long? What does the alternative look like? And will Bitcoin only benefit the rich, or is it one for all?

"By manipulating price levels, the Fed isn't just preventing smaller intermittent fires from naturally running their course while creating larger fires down the road. Instead, think of the Fed's actions as the arsonist that lights a fire, leaves through the back door in the middle of the night, and then is celebrated as the hero when it arrives through the front door to fight the fire with gasoline." - Parker Lewis May the "Gradually, then Suddenly" series never stop!! Another fantastic piece from returning author Parker Lewis and the amazing Unchained Capital Blog. We read the first half of the latest in the series, "Bitcoin is One for All." The nature of prices, the nature of the Fed, the imbalances in the economy, the arsonist starting the fire, and the gasoline that makes the burn hot, fast, and impossible to stop. The very mandate of the Fed is antithetical to the nature of money. Find out why in this excellent new installment.

"By design, Bitcoin exists beyond governments.

"Not everyone understands what a pyramid scheme actually is, what the warning signs may be, or why such schemes always fail [...] The distinctions should be glaringly obvious, but because bitcoin is complex and the very idea of money is not well understood, it can easily be confused." - Parker Lewis Today we are diving back into the Gradually, Then Suddenly series from Unchained Capital with an excellent breakdown of what Bitcoin is, and what it isn't.

"Money is an intersubjective problem, and a choice to opt into one monetary medium is an explicit opt out of the other, which in turn causes one network to gain value (and utility) at the direct expense of another." - Parker Lewis Skipping around a little bit in the "Gradually, Then Suddenly" series, we read the most recent (#12) published on the Unchained Capital Blog. No, Bitcoin isn't a startup. No, there will not be many currencies. No, you can't create an alternative that doesn't compete with Bitcoin's monetary properties. The very problem of money is one of intersubjectivity, which can only be solved through convergence on a single monetary medium. Bitcoin.

Next up in the Gradually, Then Suddenly series by Parker Lewis and available on the incredible blog over at unchained-capital.com is "Bitcoin, Not Blockchain." There is nothing about blockchain that makes it inherently immutable. Immutability emerges over time as the consequence of economic incentives and a native monetary unit that secures those incentives. It is hard won in the battle of monetary competition, something that cannot be copied or challenged with frivolous features, or arbitrary "utility." Parker breaks it all down in his great article, "Bitcoin, Not Blockchain."
