"in the event of a monetary reset under a shadow gold standard, which is the fiat standard, if there was to be a sit down at a table, the amount of gold that you hold is going to define who you are and what your size is in the new world order. And I think the same thing is true of Bitcoin, especially as Bitcoin demonetizes gold. So at some point in this, I believe, listen, this is bullish, but I believe that we're going to decapitate gold this cycle."

You close down the Israeli Land Authority and you just have a free market in land and anybody can buy that land...

“The concept of Anarchy is the concept of private property. The extent to which the state exists is the extent to which it violates property rights... the state is not a productive institution because it does not receive its money voluntarily.
