Rob sits down with Joe Consorti and Parker Lewis to break down why inflation and high rates are hitting at the same time, why Hank Paulson's "break the glass" warning should worry everyone, and why AI's coming deflationary wave will collide head-on with a financial system that depends on constant money printing. They also dig into what the Ledger supply chain attack means for self-custody, and go head-to-head on whether Bitcoin treasury companies are helping or confusing Bitcoin's path to adoption. Here is what we cover: • Why red-hot inflation and high rates are happening at the same time, and why that breaks the Fed's playbook • The $107 trillion debt math problem that can't be grown out of • Why AI's deflationary force collides with a financial system built on constant money printing • What the Ledger attack means for self-custody, multisig, and eliminating single points of failure • The debate over whether Bitcoin treasury companies and "digital credit" products help or distort Bitcoin's price Subscribe so you never miss an episode breaking down what's really happening with the economy and Bitcoin.
