ℹ️ EPISODE SUMMARY

Bram Kanstein and Wall Street veteran Dave Weisberger discuss whether markets are actually rigged, and why that story is mostly backwards. He breaks down GameStop, DTCC, and how 2008 was mispriced risk, not cartoon villain market makers. They confront fiat debasement, the Cantillon effect, and how inflation quietly rebuilds feudalism through asset inflation. Dave challenges Ray Dalio on central banks, Bitcoin transparency, and quantum computing risk. Bitcoin lands as a scarce, auditable base layer, but UX, custody, and tax friction still block mass adoption.
