Powerful Insights From Patrick Bet-David:
“If there’s anybody that should be against printing money, it’s low and middle income families, […] the poor and middle America can’t keep money, they spend it, and when they spend it what do they buy, they buy a product owned by somebody in the S&P 500…[…] money flows up.”
“Middle America is getting smaller and smaller and smaller every single time we print money.”
“Right now you have to be looking at this shit out there. What part of it do I control? What part of it do I have no control over, […] I have to figure out how to increase my market value or else I’m going to get crushed.”
“If you’re going to spend more time on Netflix more time watching all these shows, […] if you’re going to spend more time on that than building value for yourself, learning new skill sets, yes the market’s not going to favor you the next 18 to 36 months.”
“If you have fear, respect, and love, that boy has the highest likelihood of doing something big with his life.”
“If you want to be the guy of the guys, of other guys, you can’t go by the standard as everybody else does.”
“Choose your enemies wisely – it’s business planning for the audacious few, not the timid majority.”
“If you’re going to do something big, you’re automatically going to have some enemies.”

what is this guy talking about. He says like Kennedy, Trump didn't use other people's money to get elected. Trump practically begs for more donations so he doesn't have to use his own money. Musk dropped millions into Trump's campaign and he isn't the only one that did. His payoff was being second in command running the government. Trump has a bunch of lobbies instructing what he should be repaying. Patrick is just one of them. Trump has 13 billionaires running different billionaires appointed in key positions.. From what I can see, it depends on what bubble you live in. This guy is a Republican. His every word spells who he supports but it's more than just republican, he is supporting the top elites. Those who have run the world for generations. He's talking about the media as being important to expose what's really going on except it's not those journalists loyal to Trump, it's his opposition. Trump has already tagged these journalists as 'fake' The rich don't want to loose all their money, Right. And their wagon is hitched to their examples, the super rich, the ones who started it all. world and it's not going to be in favor of the lowest fifty percent of this world and that's exactly what he's talking about. His bubble. This guy says he's sending His kids go to a Christian school but not once has he ever mentioned the bottom half who don't own businesses but work for them. There are a whole set of different rules for them. He is a survivalist who's whole focus is him. That pretty much describes him and his ilk. He should listen to himself then read the Constitution. Is it viable in this modern day? The great American experiment is over. This is where he and his brethren take over with NO REGARD OR CONSIDERATION FOR THOSE UNABLE TO MUSTER UP ENERGY NECESSARY TO BE A CORPORATE SURVIVOR. These people will end up being their servants, something they have been setting up in this country for decades. All they have to do is get rid of the Constitution. Trump declared it so in one of his Truth Social rants.

Stupid Americans voted for Bush and Cheney after Clinton left us our last surplus, then they destroyed the economy so much it took a Blk man to save us from a depression, then Stupid America vote in Trump, who put us in another 7 trillion dollar debt in one term. Then Biden creates jobs in the right direction and then Americans vote in Trump again. A lying, narcissistic, sick, psychopathic racist who has no knowledge of making money but is genius in, stealing money. It's always the Republicans who bury the country in debt and destroy the working people financially and they keep voting them in. The Republican party should've been erased after Reagan. But racism, hate,lies rule in America…

If you americans collapse is not cause gender… It is very funny to blame gender when you literally have a problem in you education system, healthcare, debt and so much more. But yeah blaming gender is very easy right? Patrick at least has a based opinion on facts and graphs and current economy, you are just taking something you don't like and blaming it from making the economy weak, when it has absolutely nothing to do with economy. Just cause someone doesn't feel comfortable with gender doesn't mean they actively contributing to a fall on the economy, there are major factors involved that are just massively impacting economy and you are just projecting to people that can't even change your mentality and you expect them to be the cause of US collapse? If the US collapse is because of you all and probably more your fault than theirs…

"5% pays 80% of tax". Checked. It is close but not the exact number. The top 10% of earners account for over 70% of total income tax revenue in 2023.

1:18:20 Patrick is wrong sometimes bcz he doesn't actually know. It is SO MUCH more time and resource to load all your course content online, design the online course and provide assessment online. New jobs and new industry was created out of online teaching, so yes, it is still the same amount of money that you agreed to when you enrolled

Jim Rickards tells a lot of silly things, but he is right about one thing. There is only one clean balance sheet left in the world, and that is the one of the Bank of International Settlements (BIS). All the debt can be rolled onto that sheet and managed with SDRs.

I found a short segment of this and followed it here. I saw it’s over 3 hrs long and said fuck that I will listen for a few minutes and I am gone. Well I just finished all 3:04 and it was probably one of the most interesting conversations I had the benefit of listening to.

I love the content of this video but I’m quite offended at the “men” and “male” comments. There are women like myself who are smart and want to learn more about money, the US and world economy and future financial technology ❤

Ok, I listened with an open mind here, but there is some major whinging on the "state of young men" that is the result of men in power making the rules that we are living by today. Men wanted sexual freedom, no consequences? Ok, you got it. Men can have sex with zero consequences, and even if they father a child, they just walk away – if they even bother to stick around long enough to know. Meanwhile, men have just cooked the law so that women will have forced pregnancies now, while the fathers – no responsibilities. The other laughable point is that one of the best things about fathers is instilling fear into their children, and setting impossible standards to rise against – this apparently leads to strength and power? I wouldn't raise a dog that way, although some would, and call it strength. You two have a lot to learn about life and love. It's time you took a good look at yourselves. If want to raise more boys like you raise a dog that hates you, that's your right, but I don't know how you get there when you just look like horrible jerks that no woman would want to have her children raised by. If you can't stand by her in love, of course you're not fit to be a father to her children. FFS.
