Ok someone needs to tell me if this is planned theft or If the govt is really trying to minimise the risk of contamination of the big banks in event of extreme financial collapse. From discussing withDeepSeek it seems a lot of this came out of the collapse of bear sterns where toxic assets could not be separated from bank assets. Really need your ‘Guys Take’. This is really an important one.

Your point about bear markets sorting the wheat from the chaff is spot on. It links to Talib’s “antifragile”. At first I thought this was how bitcoin becomes antifragile but then I realised Bitcoin is just a protocol and it carries on regardless. What bear markets are really doing is making bitcoiners stronger. Making the bitcoiners who survive the bear market antifragile. Anyway. Loved the show.

Oh boy. You really tried Natalie but he really doesn’t understand bitcoin. And bitcoin is not intuitive. You really have to understand the protocol before you can be confident. He is however right about us not understanding how bad things can get. We are a bit complacent about how violent the state can become (Israel as an example).
