Debt Markets, Not Retail, Will Adopt First
Bitcoin's low monetary velocity hinders retail spending early because holders prefer to save appreciating sats. This makes institutional and debt/collateral use-cases more likely early adoption vectors.

Japan Shows The Cost Of Perpetual Refinancing
Japan's long stagnation shows what happens when bad debts are never allowed to default and are endlessly refinanced. The result is zombified firms, low productivity, and decades of low growth.

"It's that old saying, right? It's that meme. It's like, however bad you think it is, it's going to get worse, right? But at the same time, it's also going to get better. So be very bearish on fiat. Be very bullish on Bitcoin. This system, it's going to get worse. The collateral problem and the fail to deliver problem is going to get worse. Your shares that you own in brokerage aren't really yours. They're held by the broker. They're held at the DTCC. They can freeze them whenever they want. They can create fake shares whenever they want. They can fail to deliver. They can naked short. They can manipulate with derivatives, all these sorts of things. And really the only financial asset that you can truly own is Bitcoin." ~ Peruvian Bull
In this episode, I sit down with Peruvian Bull for a deep dive into the fragility of our financial system. From Japan’s zombified economy to the slow-motion collapse of the U.S. dollar, we peel back the illusions of stability that most people take for granted. Why does the debt machine always accelerate? What if your stocks aren’t really yours? And how does Bitcoin fit as the inevitable escape hatch?
We dig into the GameStop saga, the “great taking” of securities, stealth QE, the carry trade, and why debt — not retail payments — may be the problem Bitcoin is destined to solve first. Along the way, we explore what happens when central banks kick the can “up the stairs,” why Japan’s story is a glimpse of our own future, and how individuals can prepare themselves before the next inning begins.
This one is a rich discussion for anyone trying to make sense of late-stage fiat, the dollar endgame, and the hope that Bitcoin offers.
