McBride came loaded with the China wind turbine gotcha. Wright didn't flinch... what he said about subsidies, reliability, and 'the math' is the answer conservatives have been waiting to hear.
Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh: "Our committee decided to vote by a 9-3 vote to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3.5-3.75%." #FOMC
🔁REPOST, recorded December 2025. Everything Jeff Booth said is happening faster than anyone expected.
Jeff Booth - Everything Was a Lie
Everything you thought about money, freedom, and free markets was built on a foundation that was a lie. The natural state of a free market is deflation, and we've never actually lived in one. Bitcoin isn't an asset. It's a protocol emerging in layers, and treating it like an asset is exactly how it gets centralized and fails. There is no they. Only we.
@JeffBooth, author of The Price of Tomorrow and one of Bitcoin's clearest thinkers on deflation, returns for his fourth appearance to lay out the whole picture in plain English: why deflation is the natural state of a free market and inflation is the lie, why pricing Bitcoin in a piece of paper keeps you inside the system of control, the difference between Bitcoin as an asset (the Saylor view) and Bitcoin as a protocol coming in layers, why self-custody and privacy through Fedimint and Cashu are non-negotiable, how AI drives exponential deflation while broken money hides it, why "quantum, governments, and China" are imaginary enemies that just deny your own agency, and why he walked away from 375,000 followers to spend his time in the new system.
Send this to anyone who still measures Bitcoin in dollars.

En 1979, un presentador de TV le preguntó a Milton Friedman si no le daba vergüenza defender un sistema basado en la codicia.
La respuesta se estudia hasta hoy:
«—Cuando ves la mala distribución de la riqueza, tan pocos que tienen tanto y tantos que no tienen nada… ¿nunca has dudado del capitalismo, de si la codicia es una buena idea?
—Primero dime: ¿conoces alguna sociedad que NO funcione con codicia? ¿Crees que Rusia no funciona con codicia? ¿Que China no?
¿Y qué es la codicia? Ninguno de nosotros es codicioso, claro. El codicioso siempre es el otro.
Los grandes logros de la civilización no salieron de despachos del gobierno. Einstein no construyó su teoría por orden de un burócrata. Ford no revolucionó el automóvil así.
Los únicos casos en la historia en los que las masas escaparon de la pobreza son aquellos donde hubo capitalismo y libre comercio.
—Pero parece premiar la habilidad de manipular el sistema, no la virtud.
—¿Y qué premia la virtud? ¿Crees que un comisario comunista premia la virtud? ¿Un Hitler? ¿Crees que los presidentes americanos eligen sus cargos por virtud… o por peso político?
Dime: ¿dónde están esos ángeles que van a organizar la sociedad por nosotros?
Yo ni siquiera confío en ti para hacerlo.»
