Wealth gap is NOT a survival of the fittest issue! That is classic blame the victim thinking. At the bottom of the wealth gap, a full time job should always, always, always support an individual to the point where food and shelter are affordable. Forty hours of a human's work effort should be commensurate to a living wage on a weekly basis. That is the basis of fairness. To turn the issue into who deserves wealth is to miss the point of the wealth gap problem.
I'm a Gromen FFTT subscriber and this was one of his best casts for substance. Some podcasts don't understand that when you get a Luke Gromen, it's ok to just let this man talk. Keep up the amazing work!

@Seth Andy i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Luke Gromen is the sharpest macro mind out there. His news letter is tremendous. To the host, I enjoyed your interview of Grant Williams as well. Great show. Please more fascinating interviews from great minds like Luke on how the system will unwind.
Unfortunately he is completely wrong about BTC. BTC on its own is limited in supply, but the whole universe of cryptocurrencies is unlimited in the same way as the universe of fiat currencies. You have to ask yourself, in what sense is BTC superior to all other either already existing cryptos or those possibly zillions to be yet created and technologically even better. How can BTC survive that kind of competition? Will we spend almost all of our available energy to support that kind of waste of energy? To me all that virtual money BS is just another "religious" financial nonsense. If even big insurances are so foolish to invest in that kind of risky asset it is really scary. The only cryptos that can survive will be those supported by governments as their currencies. All others can not survive that limitless competition in crypto space.
@@newestcentipede5148, truth be told, I have some investments in crypto, which I would like to see increase, and even though I think the banking system from the central ‘banks’ on down are cultist thieves, I am not sure what is the best path from a national security standpoint.

"Never attribute to malice that which is more easily explained to be ignorance." Although central banks can be equally guilty of both. The global anti-christ financial system will crash by both neglect and design, achieving the goal of economic depression and world-wide starvation.
I have been based in Central America for the last two years and watched carefully how the lower and middle class survived the economic carnage of the COVID response. The surprising answer is that many actually didn't suffer as much as one would have expected. Why? Because most are/were debt free. If you temporarily had no income, the extended familiy supported you until such time as you could pick yourself up again. It is the high debt levels (or the equivalent rent) that has inflicted so much worry and uncertainty on the peoples of Europe and North America over the last year.
Mr. Gromen is doing a magnificent job of walking us through information that most of us know much of while making the historical and geopolitical motivations that help us truly see the whole story. I am truly impressed with his articulation of the big picture - and I am only half way through his presentation.
Luke is the economist last year that convinced me last April that the market would continue to roar back, despite the massive hit to the real economy. I owe him a beer and a steak.
Luke Gromen is the first person to demonstrate with passion, such insight of the role of society in creating a strong economy. To become a healthy and wealthy country, the citizens needs must first be met. Gromen will always have a competitive advantage due to his insight.
FINALLY - a macro analyst makes a connection to culture and man's search for meaning. Nearly all just talk numbers and economic narrative while avoiding the elephant in the room. I don't believe "the internet" is going to bring meaning or create community, but at least someone is addressing it.
Thank you, Luke Gromen, for calling it like it is and holding up the mirror to the US. Not many people can look beyond the rhetoric and demonization of the "opponents" and admit to the responsibility of their own downfall. Own up and fix it right and that's not by bad mouthing and finger pointing.
Michael: Wishing you and Blockworks continued success. Y'all are providing tremendous value but, I really wanted to say is how much I've been enjoying the intellectual, well reasoned and researched thought provoking interviews you've been producing. Such an enjoyable spend of time, and, more importantly, the information you are exploring often changes what I think and impacts my actions for the positive. THANK YOU!
Fiat: Full faith and confidence in the USA government to conduct business and pay its debts Crypto: Full faith and confidence in the USA government to be incompetent.
Just discovered thus channel and listened to a few interviews. Quality interviewer lets his guests shine in their expertise - much appreciated! Subbed.
Groman is perhaps one of the best economist I have seen yet and the good ones understand that energy is not just a commodity. But he is still off in his analysis regarding energy. He seems to believe that the energy used to make things like gold and Bitcoin can be stored which is not quite right. He needs to revisit the laws of thermodynamics, particularly the second in which energy degrades into less dense (useable) forms every time it is transformed. Basically it means that everytime you want to do work (change something from its current state) you need energy to do that, but the energy you use is then lost as useless heat, never to be recovered. So you need more energy to make the next change. (Which means you have to collect more energy) but gold, Bitcoin, any form of currency currently in use doesn't degrade. Then end result is that you can peg gold, Bitcoin or anything else you want against energy (oil, solar, wind, food etc are all sources energy we use on the planet) but unless it degrades like energy does and matches the available usable energy on the planet then you will always have imbalances that result in speculation and attempts to accumulate money in order to monopolize and control how energy is used within the economy. Leading to inequality yet again. What you need is a form of money that is generated as energy is collected on the planet and degrades by a given percentage every time it is used just as energy does. Most people will not like this because it means no one will ever be able to accumulate millions of dollars, but it also means no more boom bust economic cycles and will actually mean the economy can effectively distribute good and services within the population and people will have a purpose. Whatever currency we used should degrade like energy and be pegged against the unit for energy the Joule and the supply should be determined by availability of energy ( joules) on the planet.
Luke started me on my journey a few years ago. Absolutely genuine, salt of the earth type person. Only time I've seen him get a little excited is when he debates Hugh Hendry. Thanks for having him on, great questions. Your channel is rocking.
Great interview! Especially re: China and US dollar. (Bitcoin convo - not so much. A bit shallow, no discussion of risk that government regulation is a huge potential downside.). Still, overall, fascinating. Thanks!
Mr. Gromen makes the point that the US government has in effect exchanged gold with treasury-backed dollars. Very profound; very, very interesting. I'll be pondering that for a while. . .
please how does this whole crypto works, I'm interested in it and I'm willing and ready to invest in it but I'm gonna need an assistant from any trusted and productive professional.
Luke Gromen is fantastic 👍 Just discovered the genius, on RUclips 👍 Luke Gromen is the best there is on the evil "dollar system" 👍 (I write from Exeter, England, UK) 👍🇬🇧🇺🇸🏴🏏
You're a really good interviewer man. It's nice to see other young guys creating macro focused content. I started my own channel to wake people up to this stuff man it's not good.
If you want to update this program today may be a good time. I've been traveling the last two years worldwide and the Russians and Chinese average citizen seem to be doing just fine. They certainly haven't been in short supply on the beaches of Asia. Asia is where I've been traveling. Our Western arrogen.ce seems to be a bit crazy Westerns traveling through Russia seem to think it is finer there...not exciting but just fine.
The Afghanistan occupation served to put mo ey of American tax payers in the pockets of military industrial companies. And world tax payers through reserve currency system. It worked as planned
Pretty much agree except Bitcoin is pure speculation. No base value. Also the ultimate backstop is the little guy, fedcoin, UBI, negative interest rates through the new 20022 system. Connect the dots.
If you put gold in a vault, it's in a building which uses energy. Transporting it uses energy. Keeping track of it with computers uses energy. Keep it real. I think we'll find BTC and other bank building elimination technologies are much more efficient than the current high rise banking system.
My first real interaction with BTC and what sucked me into this vortex was Saylor’s analogue of money as energy. I had zero Econ/finance education or experience other than keeping my personal finances in excel. But my engineering brain immediately groked Saylor’s analogy and suddenly the world of economics was no longer opaque to me. The analogy is perfect because it’s real in nature. Laws of thermodynamics and evolutionary principles made manifest as money and exchange. Gromen takes this to the next several orders of magnitude greater - macro and BTC make sense. Macro and fiat don’t. While gold makes sense now, it’s inertia will die slowly then suddenly as a more perfect gold takes its place.
On this note at the last how and what we all everyone need is such "our need" for a part 2 for these men to break open to our learning the fork from the DNS internet and all of its endless pitfalls and not to mention its demand for all our contact info, to the blockchain (ei. IPFS) with much greater uncensorable and near totally privacy.
All the discussion of "what is an economy?" I've gotten interested in ancient history recently. Very informative to follow the rise of agriculture in the fertile crescent from eg 4000BC to 500BC. The economy simply developed to make work specialization more efficient (eg better than barter).
Nice video!! Very engaging from beginning to end. Nevertheless, businesses and investment are the easiest way to make money irrespective of which party makes it to the oval office.
We were doing fine with the discussion of what policies were there to help people who aren't Tom Brady. Then he said, let the market figure it out. But they didn't let the market figure it out, the gov't provided trillions of dollars in loans to send everyone to college whether they could cut it like Tom in the NFL or not. Then they did the same thing by not letting the banks fail after pushing them to allow people who couldn't afford homes to buy more than one.
Bitcoin costs a fortune in energy to mine and transact, the transaction fees like Etherium are rediculously expensive and transaction times are way too long. Bitcoin mining being controlled by China could be subjuct to a 51% attack, also proof of work and for that matter proof of stake has problems. Ripple's XRP on the otherhand is pre-mined and can settle in as little as 3 seconds per transaction at fractions of a cent irrespective of the amount to be settled and it has no scaling issues and will be able to make smart contracts via its Codius platform through the Flare network when that goes live June/July this year. XRP; as a bridging currency; will be used by the banks for cross border payments and for the banks CBDC'S via a private platform designed especially, at the request of the banking world. It also serve the derivatives market, real estate, insurance, art etc. in othet words "All the Money" to quote several Ripple executives. They are also in the online gaming industry through Forte and are enabling the world's unbanked to now participate in online banking for the first time. XRP was designed to be a $10,000 coin/token and to serve the new financial system into the next century.
@@michaelippolito8705 In your discussion about Bitcoin, the one topic not covered is legislation and the rise of 'official' digital currencies. China and Turkey have banned Bitcoin and the UK is launching its own official digital and may use that as an excuse to legislate against competing cryptos.
Great interview Luke and Michael. Would the next signature move of the Fed (and other OECD central banks) be to issue 50 and 100 year bonds in tranches of $1 Trillion? That would allow kicking the can down the road for another decade, no?
At 46:46 he talks about "Upward lubricant". In order to have upward lubricant there needs to be a degree of downward lubricant. Inheritance tax to level the playing field?
Luke's voice sounds different than it usually does. I don't know if it is Luke or the audio. I hope he is well. Oh! Towards the end of this I learned Luke was Ill. Please feel better!
Just got around to watching this video. Here’s my question. Only the Treasury can print money and Joe Biden’s stimulus certainly achieved that. But the fed with QE and their printing presses never circulate real money into the real economy. So there’s no inflation from the fed’s side. So can you explain this?
The people of the world have to have trust in bitcoin as a long term asset for it to survive the manipulation of banks and governments to serve the people's needs!!!!!!!
When the interviewer has the same financial chops as the guest, you set some of the best interviews. This is one of them. Great job.

Instead he just spits out nothing but facts facts facts. knowing the past is important and Like is seeing the chain of events and putting all of the pieces together.

Both Luke and Michael are balanced and make an argument without resorting to hyperboles.
Luke is mostly sharing what Another and FOA said over 20 years ago. The torch was then picked up by FOFOA.

On this note at the last how and what we all everyone need is such "our need" for a part 2 for these men to break open to our learning the fork from the DNS internet and all of its endless pitfalls and not to mention its demand for all our contact info, to the blockchain (ei. IPFS) with much greater uncensorable and near totally privacy.
excellent interview. Thanks guys
superb discussion
An excellent intelligent discussion. Thanks.
All the discussion of "what is an economy?" I've gotten interested in ancient history recently. Very informative to follow the rise of agriculture in the fertile crescent from eg 4000BC to 500BC. The economy simply developed to make work specialization more efficient (eg better than barter).
Nice video!! Very engaging from beginning to end. Nevertheless, businesses and investment are the easiest way to make money irrespective of which party makes it to the oval office.
The 2020 Real estate investment is good but i rather invest my money in crypto
The stock market has kept many on suspense from My prospective, I think investing in cryptocurrency will be a wise choice.
Investing in cryptocurrency is one of the best chance of making money 💸
Stocks are good crypto is better
That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Carlos chago
Thank you for this great interview.
Amazing! Good for you keep it up.
We were doing fine with the discussion of what policies were there to help people who aren't Tom Brady. Then he said, let the market figure it out. But they didn't let the market figure it out, the gov't provided trillions of dollars in loans to send everyone to college whether they could cut it like Tom in the NFL or not. Then they did the same thing by not letting the banks fail after pushing them to allow people who couldn't afford homes to buy more than one.
Bitcoin costs a fortune in energy to mine and transact, the transaction fees like Etherium are rediculously expensive and transaction times are way too long. Bitcoin mining being controlled by China could be subjuct to a 51% attack, also proof of work and for that matter proof of stake has problems. Ripple's XRP on the otherhand is pre-mined and can settle in as little as 3 seconds per transaction at fractions of a cent irrespective of the amount to be settled and it has no scaling issues and will be able to make smart contracts via its Codius platform through the Flare network when that goes live June/July this year. XRP; as a bridging currency; will be used by the banks for cross border payments and for the banks CBDC'S via a private platform designed especially, at the request of the banking world. It also serve the derivatives market, real estate, insurance, art etc. in othet words "All the Money" to quote several Ripple executives. They are also in the online gaming industry through Forte and are enabling the world's unbanked to now participate in online banking for the first time. XRP was designed to be a $10,000 coin/token and to serve the new financial system into the next century.
Great discussion!
Appreciate the kind words Andrew, thanks for tuning in
@@michaelippolito8705 In your discussion about Bitcoin, the one topic not covered is legislation and the rise of 'official' digital currencies. China and Turkey have banned Bitcoin and the UK is launching its own official digital and may use that as an excuse to legislate against competing cryptos.
Great interview Luke and Michael. Would the next signature move of the Fed (and other OECD central banks) be to issue 50 and 100 year bonds in tranches of $1 Trillion? That would allow kicking the can down the road for another decade, no?
Time well spent 👍
At 46:46 he talks about "Upward lubricant". In order to have upward lubricant there needs to be a degree of downward lubricant. Inheritance tax to level the playing field?
Thank you sir were in Region 1 Phils
Golds ongoing cost is the security cost to protect it
great articulate channel
Very good interview
"...this great geopolitical game manifesting through economics..." Superbly said. And so sad to look at the American mistakes.
Both, so really amazing.
Amazing interview
Luke's voice sounds different than it usually does. I don't know if it is Luke or the audio. I hope he is well. Oh! Towards the end of this I learned Luke was Ill. Please feel better!
Just got around to watching this video. Here’s my question. Only the Treasury can print money and Joe Biden’s stimulus certainly achieved that. But the fed with QE and their printing presses never circulate real money into the real economy. So there’s no inflation from the fed’s side. So can you explain this?
Great show
Volume is very low
Good stuff
The people of the world have to have trust in bitcoin as a long term asset for it to survive the manipulation of banks and governments to serve the people's needs!!!!!!!
