QE on Steroids, Bitcoin Business Revolution, Public Miner Doom | Gary Cardone
Gary Cardone (energy veteran, fintech pioneer, and acclaimed artist) joins Larry Lepard, Bob Burnett, and Gary Leland for a no-holds-barred Bitcoin Boomers episode that exposes the fiat system's soul-crushing traps and Bitcoin's path to ultimate freedom. From the opening salvo, Gary drops bombs: "Bitcoin is the primary business without an HR department," freeing him from "dumb meetings about dumb subjects" to pursue art and self-discovery.
The crew dismantles fiat's "treadmill" (Larry: "The only thing more limited than Bitcoin is your time—and Bitcoin gives it back"), warns of ethical "prostitution" in corporate ladders, and reveals how creatives spot Bitcoin's magic first by thinking outside the box. Bob slams public miners' impending doom amid 2025's $8.6B M&A frenzy and harsh margins, while championing decentralized energy "sinkholes" for wasted power.
Larry's prescient "big print" prophecy hits home as the Fed ended QT in December 2025, restarting QE with $40B/month Treasury buys amid liquidity strains—fueling Bitcoin's hedge role despite its dip to ~$87K from $126K highs. They debate deflationary shocks from immigration policies, why success isn't chasing dollars (Gary: "Even billionaires don't get freedom"), and raw advice for young stackers: ditch consumerism, seek mentors, pay yourself first with 10% in BTC for compounding magic.This is the orange-pill blueprint for boomers and millennials alike—escape fiat's rat race before the next debasement wave.
If you're tired of quarterly BS and ready for Bitcoin's no-HR revolution, hit play now. Key Topics: Bitcoin as the ultimate freedom machine from fiat drudgery Why creatives embrace Bitcoin faster than suits Ditching "dumb meetings" and HR nightmares for self-fulfillment Fiat's ethical traps: "Prostitution" in corporate climbing
The big print on steroids: Fed's 2025 QE restart and Bitcoin's explosion potential Public miners' doom: 2025 M&A wave, inefficiencies, and AI bailouts Decentralized mining's future: Energy "sinkholes" for zero-cost production Deflationary shocks ahead: Immigration, peak consumption, and opportunity Young guns guide: Mentors over MBAs, 10% savings in BTC, ditch the Rolls Compounding's wonders: From acorns to oak trees in a Bitcoin world
