ANECDOTE

Walking Away From Fiat

Aaron Day left fiat and closed his personal bank account in 2019 after regulatory attacks on his healthcare business.
He then traveled widely to warn about technocracy and to build parallel, privacy-focused systems.

INSIGHT

Technocracy Is An Ideology, Not Just Tech

Technocracy is an ideological movement that seeks to replace price-based economics with energy-credit allocation managed by experts.
Its core claim is that scientists and engineers should centrally decide resource distribution, limiting individual agency.

ADVICE

Opt Out With Privacy And Parallel Systems

Use privacy coins and decentralized alternatives to reduce exposure to surveillance on transparent blockchains.
Build and join parallel systems for commerce, healthcare, and travel to opt out of centralized control.

In this episode, I chat with Aaron Day, a freedom movement architect, serial entrepreneur, and outspoken opponent of global technocracy. After government regulations destroyed his healthcare business, Aaron walked away from the fiat system, becoming an early advocate for Bitcoin and decentralized alternatives. He’s also the author of The Final Countdown, and a former presidential candidate who used his campaign to warn Americans about the growing threat of surveillance, CBDCs, and global governance.

We dive deep into the rise of technocracy, the ideology behind it, and how key players like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and institutions like the WEF and UN are accelerating the shift toward centralized digital control.

If you’re looking to understand the bigger picture behind CBDCs, the hijacking of crypto, and how to opt out of the system, this episode is for you.
