Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In today’s compelling clip, we’re diving deep into the economic complexities of our current times with the brilliant Michael Saylor. The discussion pulls back the curtain on distorted GDP and CPI measurements that fail to capture true inflation rates and economic conditions. We explore shocking facts like the doubling of mortgages and the 35% rise in housing prices that mainstream metrics conveniently overlook. Michael criticizes government manipulation of economic metrics, highlighting the unsettling realities of excessive money printing in countries like Sri Lanka, Turkey, and Argentina, which have led to currency crashes and economic collapse.
Tom and Michael also tackle the controversial redefinitions of recession and the misleading narratives designed to keep people calm, describing the flaws in the fiat currency system that has plagued us for decades. We venture into the potential of Bitcoin as a means of preserving financial energy over time, discussing how it could offer a more stable economic future. The influential impact of ESG rules on the economy, the detrimental effects of excessive government control, and the looming threat of financial crises globally are laid bare in this eye-opening episode.
Don’t miss out as we uncover the inefficiencies of centralized control and the wisdom of marketplace dynamics. Tune in for an in-depth analysis that goes beyond headlines to bring you the truth about our economic landscape.
