Episode notes
Capital War Is A Liquidity Contest
- The Capital War is a global contest over liquidity, monetary regime and productive capacity rather than just kinetic conflict.
- Kane argues key battlegrounds include gold, Bitcoin, chips and stablecoins that shape who controls global money.
Value Lives In Things, Not Tokens
- Money is a medium for transferring valued things, not the value itself, so shifts in societal values change which money is desired.
- Kane links paradigm shifts to regime changes in currency dominance like past transitions in history.
Bible Reading Framed Historical Cycles
- Kane read the entire Bible in 2020 and saw recurring human patterns of power, moral decay and cycles that mirror modern financial history.
- Those biblical narratives helped him frame U.S.-China rivalry and recurring elite rises and falls as historical continuities.
