#181 - Tom Bilyeu - AI, Bitcoin & the Rigged Economy

Tom Bilyeu joins me to discuss debt, money printing, broken politics, AI, Bitcoin and why the economy feels rigged against ordinary people.Tom argues that every empire eventually faces the same test: whether it can hold the power of the money printer without printing itself into oblivion. We talk about inflation, the debt cycle, asset prices, populism, Britain’s decline, and why the working and middle class are being squeezed.We also get into AI and the future of work. I talk through my own recent experience building a system in seven days that would once have taken a full team and hundreds of thousands of pounds, and Tom explains how AI has already changed the structure of his business.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - The Economy Is Rigged00:01:09 - Are We Driving Off a Fiscal Cliff?00:03:04 - Debt, Money Printing and Inflation00:04:36 - The Final Boss of Economics00:07:02 - America’s Founding and Wealth Extraction00:10:19 - Can America Be Saved?00:11:46 - Economics Has Physics00:16:06 - Debt, Cancellation and Freedom00:19:03 - The Thucydides Trap00:21:42 - Politics Has Not Been Disrupted00:25:15 - Populism and the Shrinking Pie00:29:07 - Asset Inflation Is Vile00:35:59 - UK Politics Is Breaking Down00:40:36 - Is Sweden Really Socialist?00:42:40 - Where Is the Hope?00:50:16 - Tom’s View on Bitcoin00:53:17 - Peter’s AI Eureka Moment00:57:56 - How AI Changed Tom’s Business01:03:02 - The Four Futures of AI01:12:56 - Is Reality a Simulation?01:24:34 - Tom’s Final Warning- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – /mccormack555› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH TOM BILYEU› Twitter – https://x.com/TomBilyeu› YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/c/TomBilyeuSPONSORS› IREN - https://www.iren.com/› LEDN - https://www.ledn.io/peter- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.
