@theficouple @ObedientBread BTC has a much higher historical rate of return.

@theficouple @ObedientBread They still need a place to live, every other home will also be more costly to purchase. It’s paper profit…

Anyone else scroll through X and see all the political discourse and instantly recognise that the solution to most of these problems is the return to sound money?

Housing, cost of living, migration, corruption, wars, whatever it is you name it.

All of it is caused or exacerbated by the ability of Governments to print money at will.

Endless discussion on everything but the root cause.

I wish the normies would get it.

Fix the money, fix the world.

So you are using AI to write your resume to apply for a job where HR will use AI to screen the resume?

Then the first round interview will be done on HireVue where an AI will review your answers?

And once you are on the job, you will use AI to write your emails and reports, while your boss will use AI to summarize that report?

So how was the game last night?! 😉

This is so sad. Americans just watching themselves get poorer every single day while the scumbags in Washington do nothing.

Most people have never heard of the Cantillon Effect.
But once you understand it, you’ll see the world of investing differently.

What is it?

In the early 1700s, Richard Cantillon noticed a simple pattern:
When new money enters an economy, it doesn’t reach everyone at once.
And whoever gets it first benefits the most.

Here’s how it works today:

New liquidity enters through the Fed and through bank lending.
Both follow a similar pattern:

→ Markets and large balance sheets get first access
→ Large corporations and well-connected borrowers tap cheap credit next, they invest and expand at today’s prices
→ Asset prices tend to rise as new liquidity chases finite assets
→ Consumer prices often follow
→ Wages rise last, usually after purchasing power has already declined

Fed data shows how lopsided the playing field is:
- The top 10% hold nearly 90% of equities.
- The bottom 50% holds about 1%.

It’s a simple but powerful monetary transmission.

Understanding this won’t change the system.
But it might change how you think about where to store your savings.

For those of you who don't know, I write all about topics like this every week in The Informationist. Last week, we dove deep on this one.

Nobody will be arrested. Nobody will be held accountable. The money will never be returned. They will just cut deals with each other, print more money, and act like it never happened. Wake up before it is too late and own something that cannot be printed into oblivion.

@lindsaystamp3 💯 And unfortunately, few understand.
With advancements in technology most things should be getting cheaper not more expensive but broken money changes that…
