Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Bob Elliott, Co-Founder, CEO, and CIO of Unlimited Funds, who shares his insights on how to evaluate skills from luck in investment outcomes. The discussion also touched upon the current state of inflation in developed countries like Europe, the UK, and the US. Despite recent supply shocks causing higher price growth, wages have matched or surpassed it, resulting in elevated rates exceeding central bank targets. Elliott also addressed the concerns of central bankers regarding debt and income dynamics, mentioning the risks of negative reinforcing cycles and comparing credit-driven economic expansions to sustainable income-driven ones. The speakers discussed the relationship between government deficits and economic growth, debating whether high levels lead to significant stimulus or a large debt burden. Regarding labor markets, Bob addressed the rising costs of inflation and the impact on reshoring production in the US. The speakers touched upon de-globalization, parallel supply chains, and shipping costs as causes for price increases and disruptions. The Fed's current monetary policy stance was discussed, with potential future actions debated due to low unemployment and while inflation is still above target. Bob questioned the significance of specific labor market numbers and he also touched upon why the US economy avoided a recession despite predictions. In this income-driven environment, Bob discussed the shift from growth to value stocks and the impact on investable assets in sectors with earnings and market consolidation. The supercycle in resource markets was also discussed highlighting investment lags behind demand and potential higher commodity prices contributing to inflation.

Central banks are grappling with rising inflation rates exceeding targets due to wage growth matching or surpassing price increases in developed countries like Europe, the UK, and the US.

In this episode I set up the idea of time preference. Many people want to make changes or decide a new year's resolution. What to choose? Time preference is a mentality that will really help identify the next step. Time preference is assessing if you have short term or long term goals. This episode will introduce a new way of thinking about how you look at problems and the world. In following episodes we will discuss how to take this into action in the following episode.In this episode we answer the following questions-How do I decide what needs changing?-What is time preference?-How do I learn to think more long-term?-What is short-term vs long-term thinking?-Why have I probably made bad choices in the past?-Can I make changes if I don't think I have a future?-What mentality is needed to make long-term changeSee me on counselorcanhelp.comIn this

There Is No_System - Contemplations to Help You See Beneath The Surface
Tired of the same old, same old? In this fresh episode of the No_System podcast, we're slicing through the fluff and getting down to brass tacks about time preference. It's all about the slow burn versus the quick fix in the creative world.We're not just tossing around highfalutin economic theory for kicks—We're looking to the big brain moves of Eugen Böhm-Bawerk. You're an artist, not a day trader, right? So why rush your masterpiece like a two-for-one sale at the dollar store?We spotlight legends like Banksy and Shepard Fairey to prove a point: playing the long game in art is like investing in a solid gold chain. It just doesn't lose its shine. We're serving up the kind of content that's meant to stick around, not just stick for now.We're not just here to preach. You'll get the real deal—tips on juggling your need for bread with your dream of leaving a mark.And since we're all about that action, step up and take our challenge. Go dust off that big idea you shelved and start sculpting it into something that'll echo through the ages—or at least outlive the latest meme.Before you dash off to make your mark, hit up nosysknows.com. Grab some gear as unique as your fingerprint and as loud as your art. It's not just merch; it's a statement that you're part of a tribe that values freedom, expression, and a good chuckle at the system's expense.This is the No_System podcast—no gatekeeping, no ivory towers, just real talk and a good laugh, where all rights are reserved, and all lefts are celebrated.©2023 Brian Behm Creative.
Jim talks with Matthew Pirkowski about the ideas in a recent tweet thread on time preference and its relationship with cooperation. They discuss the definition of time preference, defining parasitism, asymmetrical relationships, mutualism, commensalism, the increase in short-term thinking, a decrease in qualitative change, realization & potential, an increase in uncertainty, the interruption of attentional loops, a gossip protocol, the complexity catastrophe, the maximum number of daily interruptions, short-term money-on-money return, disintegration of network statistics, trustless infrastructure & cognitive chunking, coordinating at a higher level, zero-knowledge proofs, social immune systems, structural prerequisites of parasitism, Bitcoin as a metacentralizing attractor, building the modeling toolkit to understand causal closures within networks, and much more. Episode Transcript JRS Currents 094: Matthew Pirkowski on Blockchain Consensus Mechanisms Matthew's tweet thread on time preference & cooperation "Crypto Beyond Capitalism: The Rise of Distributed Valerism," by Matthew Pirkowski Matthew Pirkowski works at the intersection of software, psychology, and complex systems. These interests first took root while studying Evolutionary Psychology and assisting with Behavioral Economic research at Yale's Comparative Cognition Laboratory. From there Matthew began a career in software engineering, where he applied these interests to the development of software interfaces used by millions around the world, most notably as a member of Netflix's Television UI team, where he worked on experimental initiatives conceptualizing and prototyping the future of entertainment software. Presently, Matthew is building the underlying modeling architecture at Bioform Labs, a company focused on using the Active Inference toolkit to model organizations as emergent cybernetic organisms. He believes these models can help organizations manage their deployment of and interaction with AI-based agents, as well as more adaptively manage their own emergent complexity.

As well as the importance of having long term thinking and not becoming a consumer within society. Focusing on the more rewarding long term gain is important compared to the immediate gain you can get today. He goes over the popular marshmallow experiment conducted by Walter Mischel which detailed how students reacted to instant and delayed gratification. Kevin also explained the concept behind time preference and how it plays a vital role with our decision making everyday.Each financial choice we make everyday either lower's or increases our time preference. When an individual is able to lower their time preference, they have a better quality of life because they are not worrying about money. They have accumulated capital over a long period of time and they now can focus on other areas in their life that gives them a higher purpose. When individuals higher their time preference, they don't have the luxury of doing other things that give them meaning. Nor can they be more productive. They continue to stay on the hamster wheel. This video is all about your mindset and understanding that your decisions everyday ultimately impact your finances in a positive or a negative way.

In Season 3 Episode 2, join Justin as he talks about the importance of lowering your time preference. Time preference at the most basic level is the extent to which a person prioritizes the present versus the future. The ability (and willingness) to delay gratification is linked to the extent to which a person has an optimistic outlook of the future. A high time preference means a person is discounting the value of the future compared to the present, while a person with low time preference is willing to store up and plan for the future. Time preference both shapes and is shaped by people's circumstances and their overall behaviors. Typically, as people age from childhood into adulthood, time preference trends lower. However, in Western society today time preference is continuing to trend higher and higher for individuals. But the issue of time preference is not just important for the individual; it is also plays a crucial role in the shaping of society at large.

A low time preference emphasizes a gain in the long term, or a delayed gratification. A high time preference emphasizes a gain in the present, often reflected in today's YOLO type ideology. This episode explores which time preference today's economic system incentivizes, the benefits of each, and whether you can have too extreme of a preference in either direction.
Would you rather spend your money today or save it to spend into the future? For decades, fiat monetary policy has been pushing us all to spend, spend, spend ... ushering in an era of consumerism often mistaken to be capitalism. In this episode, we talk about time preference and how to lower yours...what the impact of a lower time preference will do for you, your money, and the world. Once again, sit back and marvel at how Bitcoin -- society's only man-free sound money -- will fix the dysfunctions of the world.
Family businesses play a major role in the US economy. According to the Conway Center, family businesses comprise 90% of the business ventures in the US, generate 62% of the employment in the nation, and deliver 64% of US GDP. And, they're good at venture capital. Samuele Murtinu, Professor of Law, Economics, and Governance at Utrecht University, visits the Economics For Business podcast to share the findings and insights (see Mises.org/E4B_140_PDF) from his very recent analysis of venture capital databases. Key Takeaways and Actionable Insights Corporate venture capital is a special animal. There are many types of venture capital. Professor Murtinu focused first on the distinction between traditional or independent venture capital (IVC) and corporate venture capital (CVC). Independent venture capital funds are structured with a general partner in the operational, decision-making role, and investors in the role of limited partner. Corporate venture capital funds are fully owned and managed by their parent corporation. The CEO or CFO of the corporation typically appoints a corporate venture capital manager, who selects targets, conducts due diligence and so on from a subordinate position in the corporate hierarchy. The important difference between IVC and CVC lies in objectives and goals. IVC goals are purely financial — the highest capital gain in the shortest possible time. CVC funds often have strategic goals in addition to, or substituting for, financial goals. These strategic goals might include augmenting internal R&D capabilities and performance, and accessing new technologies and new innovations, or entering new markets. Another form of CVC licenses patented technologies to startups in cases where the corporate firm does not have the capacity to exploit the IP, but can oversee the implementation at the startup with a view to further future investment or acquisition. This is the method of Microsoft's IP Ventures arm, for example. Typically, IVC investments are easy to measure against financial performance benchmarks or targets. CVC's strategic investments are harder to measure. Goals such as technology integration are too non-specific to measure, and normal VC guardrails like specified duration of investments are not typically in place and so can't be used as benchmarks. On the other hand, CVC investments often expand beyond the financial into strategic support via corporate assets such as brand, sales and distribution channels and systems. Corporate venture capital out-performs traditional venture capital in overall economic performance. Professor Murtinu's performance metric in his data analysis was total factor productivity — performance over and above what's attributable to the additions to capital and labor inputs. IVC's performance for its investments was measured in the +40% range, and CVC's was measured at roughly +50%. IVC performs better in the short term, while CVC performs better in the longer term. This difference reflects the lower time preference of CVC. It extends to IPO's: corporate venture capital funds stay longer in the equity capital of their portfolio companies in comparison to independent venture capital. Family CVC is another animal again — and even higher performing than non-family CVC. Professor Murtinu separated out family-owned firms (based on a percentage of equity held) with corporate venture capital funds for analysis. Some of his findings include: They prefer to maintain longer and more stable involvement in the companies in which they invest.They prefer to maintain control over time (as opposed to exiting for financial gain).They look to gains beyond purely financial returns, including technology acquisition / integration into the parent company and/or learning new processes.They are more likely to syndicate with other investors, for purposes of portfolio risk mitigation.They target venture investments that are “close to home” both in geographic terms and in terms of industries closely related to their core business. The resultant outcomes are superior: a higher likelihood of successful exits (IPO or sale to another entity), and a greater long term value effect on the sold company after the IPO or exit. Further, there is evidence from the data of a higher innovation effect for Family CVC holdings, as measured by the post-exit value of the patent portfolio held by the ventures. Family CVC is resilient in economic downturns. During the last economic downturn, family CVC invested at double the amount of corporate venture capital, reflecting family businesses' preference for long-term investing and for control. The lower time preference of family businesses and family CVC is crucial for the achievement of superior financial performance, especially in the longer term. Family CVC's lower time preference and longer investment time horizons result in beneficial effects. Ownership in the venture companies is more stable, and the value effect after IPO (when family CVC stability continues because these funds stay in the post-IPO company longer) is significant. Professor Murtinu relates this phenomenon to Austrian economics. The longer time horizon permits a closer relationship between investor and entrepreneur — it develops over time — and their subjective judgment about the future state become more aligned. Frictions and information asymmetries are reduced, and a shared view of the future emerges. This stability can scale up to the industry level and national level when there are more family CVC funds at work. Instead of pursuing unicorns and gazelles, an environment more conducive to duration and resilience is created.

Mind/Matter is a fantastic contributor here at the magazine who also has a popular Twitter account where he focuses on health and lifestyle in addition to Bitcoin. I'm a big fan of the content he posts, and felt it would be interesting to address the intersection between these two subjects. In this episode, we explored how he got into Bitcoin, and how that has impacted his life. Of course, the low-time preference mechanics and incentives of bitcoin quickly appealed to his understanding of health excellence. As we explored, it became apparent that these two ideas are very much hand in hand — the preservation of one's wealth and the preservation of one's health. --------------------------------------------- Bitcoin Magazine is back in print!

Location: Los Angeles Date: Thursday, 26th September Project: Edge Role: CEO & Co-Founder Time is arguably our most valuable resource and we are constantly making choices about how we use it. But do we give enough consideration to our time? One of the theories behind our decision making is time preference. Time preference refers to the value of something now compared to its value at a later date. Those who favour high time preference prefer to value their current self and spend money faster, while people with a low time preference will make sacrifices to ensure a better outcome for their future self. It doesn't just relate to personal choices though; time preference is an excellent tool for considering money, specifically when comparing Bitcoin and fiat. Inflationary fiat currencies favour a high time preference. With no supply cap and governments printing more money at will, there is little economic incentive to save. Bitcoin, however, favours a low time preference. Being sound money with a fixed supply, Bitcoin lends itself to saving. While time preference finds its roots in economics, it can be applied to almost anything and is how you prioritise now vs future; from health to journalism, productivity to savings. In this interview, I speak to Paul Puey, the CEO & Co-Founder at Edge who are building a self custody exchange and wallet. We discuss time preference, Bitcoin, health & diet, journalism and Libertarianism.
