Allen and I had a great conversation that meanders all over the place from Apple to lite beer to MMT to capitalism to the proper role of the state and a whole lot more...

"This is the kleptocracy that we're living in and everybody can see it. It's so obvious to everybody. Everybody knows it. And yet we all just sit there and we're in like some sort of malaise where it's just like this nihilism is washing over us. We're all like, I don't know, man. Everything's f*cked, man. Blah, blah, blah, man. Whatever, dude. And I don't feel that way. I feel optimistic because we own the future. Owning Bitcoin means we own the f*cking future. OK, and we have a seat at the table and we're going to get to say how things operate. And the way I want things to operate is the way the f*cking US Constitution says they should f*cking operate.

“As morality increases, freedom increases. As morality decreases, freedom decreases... What is morality? It’s about the rule of *do not steal*.

The isolated interference brought about a condition which, from the point of view of the government, is even more undesirable than the previous state of affairs which the government wanted to alter. And as the government goes farther and farther, it will finally arrive at a point where all prices, all wage rates, all interest rates, in short, everything in the whole economic system, is determined by the government.

"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.
