The savings rates are really low in usa bc people love to buy crap, not low interest rates. Americans' savings rate has generally been going down for decades. And wages have not even kept up with inflation, so you have lots of people not making much or saving much buying crap they can't afford.
@@elcat9091 You have it backwards, people are buying crap, because at least one gets crap, while money left in the bank is turned to crap. Basic banking principals at play here.
Mr. Grant is intelligent, knowledgeable and well spoken. I only wish the interview was happening now. I'd like to hear his comments on the recent drop of interest rates (10 year Treasury) during increasing inflation. Bizarro.

Held it before the last bust, won’t buy in again because you can’t spot the trigger that will dump its value again. One must remember, Bitcoin is most likely a central bank experiment for a couple of simple reasons. Anyone trying to compete with the status quo would have been tracked down & jailed. Satashi Nakamoto or whatever his name is, does not exist, code-coin has no intrinsic value, and her it is supposedly “open source” code hiding out on servers around the world. Who is maintaining those servers? Who replaces the cooling fans, pays the electrical bill, keeps them tied to the internet? Some fellow who mysteriously vanished? When people have enough money invested, I suspect it will be one means of vacuuming a few billion dollars in private liquidity out of the system, a form of interest that will break the hearts of fools once again.
@@buzzblitzer750 Perhaps Satoshi was smart enough to realise the system will want to come after him so decided to maintain his anonymity? You can download, build and run the bitcoin daemon yourself. No hocus pocus. I run one occasionally. Don't get driven into markets through FOMO else you will get burned. Bitcoin or other wise. Those interested in getting into Bitcoin and ask my advice are told "Dollar cost averaging". Pretty much anyone who has ever bought into Bitcoin will have won big if they held. I think Bitcoin is still on a price discovery journey.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Such great perspective from an excellent interviewer and guest. I like the reminder that cash is going to be so welcome and handy in the likely event that asset prices are marked to traditional valuations.

But there are many things that cannot be printed and have a fixed supply. There is no fundamental reason for BTC to be at the price it is at today. Pure speculation. That said, it will likely keep going much higher. Still very risky.
@@michaelweyenberg6238 The fundamentals are there. It's much more than a currency, search for: Defis, NFTs, yield farms, smart contracts.

BTC is a fully formed yet unsaturated asset that remains in price discovery relative to a gigantic total addressable market. It’s market cap is approximately 10% of gold’s (for example). It’s not a bubble.
Speculation is not price discovery. there is no floor under the value of Bitcoin. Bitcoin can go to zero whereas silver and gold cannot. Cryptocurrencies have certain flaws. Volatility in their price being a major problem in terms of regarding Bitcoin as a currency. Business cannot price future contracts in Bitcoin for this reason. That makes it useless as a currency.
@@paulsmith1981 theres no floor on anything, because all prices based on nothing more than a belief. Its all speculation. Oil couldn't go to zero yet it went negative. Just because you cant imagine gold or silver going to zero doesn't make it a fact.

@@jeffsteyn7174 Gold and silver are rare raw materials, they will always be desirable and have floors for this reason. Over 5000 industrial products require silver in their manufacture, including car batteries, solar panels and electronics. They will always be in demand. Gold and silver can never go to zero for this reason. Oil didn't go anywhere near zero at filling station pumps. its still maintained a market value far in excess of zero. The reason crude oil went negative for a short period was because refineries ran out of storage capacity. Basically overproduction overwhelmed the refineries storage capacity. Oil will always have a use therefore a market value above zero. Can you explain why bitcoin is worth $50,000 rather than $4. What are the fundamentals behind its value, apart from speculation?
If the bond market is to all intents 'destroyed' as Grant says, then where does that leave the dollar? Sure people still accept it, it's a payment vehicle etc but what does a dollar price for an asset mean when theres no price discovery or interest rates
Inflation is actually the inflating of the money supply. The increase in prices (the cost of living and the increase in wealth inequality) is the ultimate effect.
I like that he first said the damage was caused by lockdowns and then later added pandemic. I think we all know the truth of the economic damage was not the virus but the overreaction to it.
Crypto going mainstream is like your favorite metal band being rearranged for Kenny G!!!! I had to pause the podcast so I could laugh for five minutes.
Who buys bonds? Speculators who use them as collateral and could care less what they yield? How could they let the value of the dollar go down? It'll wipe out pensioners.
Bitcoin. "Are you sure you want something that is based upon someone being more optimistic than you." How is that different than any other investment in non dividend paying stocks for instance with very high price earnings ratios and selling at many times book value? In March stocks dropped off the edge of the world! Were they safer than bitcoin which has a rare characteristic of fixed supply with increasing demand? So all in all I would answer his question with a big YES! If no one eventually is more optimistic than I on WHATEVER I own,the price will go DOWN.

Ive held bitcoin since 2013 at $100.00. I am now financially independent. Do not listen to all the FUD from these old boomers. It's not a currency it is a digital gold asset. You can also purchase as much as $5.00 not a whole bitcoin like this geezer is making you believe.
Your argument is absolutely irrelevant. Try to think about what you just said and realize the inane presupposition of your claim. You got in at 100.00 per coin. Do you think a guy with total trading capital of $7500 could fare as well as you despite the current BTC price at 57.3k? Fucking foolish.
LOL, BTC and Tesla are alike -- I think many people who hold either will agree, because I suspect they tend to attract the same people. The enthusiasm for both remind me of the enthusiasm for dot com stocks in the late 90s.
Tesla is currently and consistently profitable and has a very simple discounted cash flow calculation to reach its current valuation (with significant upside). 2030, 10 million car fleet, each making $10,000 in profit for Tesla through a robotaxi service. 100 billion in profit at a multiple of 30 3 trillion dollar valuation in 2030 Current valuation of .65 trillion 19% annual appreciation Upside from solar roof, powerwall, autobidder, utility scale energy, dojo AI, autopilot licensing, tesla insurance, battery licensing, gigafactory licensing, actual car sales, and anything else that an extremely innovative company comes up with over the next 9 years.

I had to look at the date of this video. Jim's case against Bitcoin is from 2017. Sure we'll have a pullback after this cycle's peak, but Bitcoin and crypto are here to stay.
@@user-dd5kx5md5o First, that is the wrong question. Since bitcoin claims to be a currency, not a mineral or a collectible, it should be compared with other currencies, so the correct question is, "What volume of transactions are conducted in US dollars?" A LOT. Gold is a collectible appreciated for its beauty and durability, like fine art. Gold also has some practical uses, but because of its cost it is used sparingly. It is a great conductor, and probably the best material in the world for tooth fillings. Finally, gold can be, and often is, passed down in the family. The large majority of all the gold ever mined is still conserved. Bitcoin, however, will survive only as long as the electrical grid. How long will that be? I would give it no more than two centuries, and that is my wildly optimistic estimate. Frankly, I would be amazed if the grid were a functional technology even 100 years from now. The energy sources we need to power it and maintain it will be too depleted. Intermittent power resources are unable to substitute for conventional energy resources to feed the grid on a large scale, as Germany found out the hard way where solar and wind are now capped at 25% of the grid power supply and where coal consumption is higher than it was a decade ago, and storage is too energy and resource intensive to scale up.
Stocks are a huge bubble. Bitcoin is not. He ignored all of Bitcoin's benefits. And yes it's volatile, but that's to be expected with a new form of wealth and currency.
More than half of u.s. stocks pay no dividends. He says bitcoin pays no dividend. What do we really own, when we own a non-dividend paying stock??

Ive held bitcoin since 2013 at $100.00. I am now financially independent. Do not listen to all the FUD from these old boomers. It's not a currency it is a digital gold asset. You can also purchase as much as $5.00 not a whole bitcoin like this geezer is making you believe.
You won the lottery. You were early into the Ponzi, it happens. Know when to get out.
Your argument is absolutely irrelevant. Try to think about what you just said and realize the inane presupposition of your claim. You got in at 100.00 per coin. Do you think a guy with total trading capital of $7500 could fare as well as you despite the current BTC price at 57.3k? Fucking foolish.

LOL, BTC and Tesla are alike -- I think many people who hold either will agree, because I suspect they tend to attract the same people. The enthusiasm for both remind me of the enthusiasm for dot com stocks in the late 90s.
Tesla is currently and consistently profitable and has a very simple discounted cash flow calculation to reach its current valuation (with significant upside).
2030, 10 million car fleet, each making $10,000 in profit for Tesla through a robotaxi service.
100 billion in profit at a multiple of 30
3 trillion dollar valuation in 2030
Current valuation of .65 trillion
19% annual appreciation
Upside from solar roof, powerwall, autobidder, utility scale energy, dojo AI, autopilot licensing, tesla insurance, battery licensing, gigafactory licensing, actual car sales, and anything else that an extremely innovative company comes up with over the next 9 years.
I sent £25 by western union

Anything that can reduce that cost gets my attention crypto or whatever
There was a $4.5 billion dollar BTC transaction made a couple weeks ago amd the fees for the transaction was a whopping $21

Okay ... but the Purple Gang? The Chicago Tribune was headquartered in Chicago; the Purple Gang was a gang in Detroit. Is there some intended significance to the choices made there?
So much terrible advice, manipulation on UA-cam regarding finance. So glad I found this channel. Subscribed.
"The more intense the craze, the higher the order of intellect that succumbs to it."
Happened to Isaac Newton.
Most seem to succumb to greed at some point. It amazes me what some people are putting their money into these days.
That's because the dry intellect gets tired of being left out and wants to join the sensational party. Classic story of the nerds, the cheerleaders and the players at the Baseball game.
Grant: I assure you SOME will get out. I assume you said the same about Qualcom when it went for 80 to about 800 in just a few months? Some people win and others lose.
Bubbliscious
26:15 British value stocks and cash = punchline for this podcast. Also, any cherished beliefs are probably the most unlikely to come true, lol.

i bought in 1753 b.c middle kingdom of Egipt and it only doubled its buying power, yet its value in currency i purchased it for is now about 5 tredecillion % up! assuming that I exchanged at the right time.
what a shitcoin
I had to look at the date of this video. Jim's case against Bitcoin is from 2017. Sure we'll have a pullback after this cycle's peak, but Bitcoin and crypto are here to stay.
Who is using them to transact? What is the volume of consumer purchases that are transacted in crypto?
@@michaels4255 What volume of consumer purchases are transacted in gold?
@@user-dd5kx5md5o First, that is the wrong question. Since bitcoin claims to be a currency, not a mineral or a collectible, it should be compared with other currencies, so the correct question is, "What volume of transactions are conducted in US dollars?" A LOT.
Gold is a collectible appreciated for its beauty and durability, like fine art. Gold also has some practical uses, but because of its cost it is used sparingly. It is a great conductor, and probably the best material in the world for tooth fillings.
Finally, gold can be, and often is, passed down in the family. The large majority of all the gold ever mined is still conserved. Bitcoin, however, will survive only as long as the electrical grid. How long will that be? I would give it no more than two centuries, and that is my wildly optimistic estimate. Frankly, I would be amazed if the grid were a functional technology even 100 years from now.
The energy sources we need to power it and maintain it will be too depleted. Intermittent power resources are unable to substitute for conventional energy resources to feed the grid on a large scale, as Germany found out the hard way where solar and wind are now capped at 25% of the grid power supply and where coal consumption is higher than it was a decade ago, and storage is too energy and resource intensive to scale up.
I should take a look at Jim's writing, since I enjoy his interviews so much.
In the best scenario, what if 1% of BTC holders per year forget their key or die without a will, where would BTC be in 100 to 1000 years? Anyone?
In a 100 years there will be far better technology than bitcoin, and like most technology disruptions the obsolete tech is worthless.

Well Bitcoin 50K value is only due to its cap supply, otherwise it would be worth $2000 like gold.
it wouldn't even be worth that
Stocks are a huge bubble. Bitcoin is not. He ignored all of Bitcoin's benefits.
And yes it's volatile, but that's to be expected with a new form of wealth and currency.
1999, 2009, good times to have cash. But since the market is rigged I'm sure there's a select few who know the exact time to raise cash.
Gundlach said it is illegal for the fed to buy junk bond or any bond :-) u should invite him !

To assume dark motives, anonymous transactions and tax fraud to bitcoin today is pretty uninformed. I like cash as well. To buy the dips. 😉

More than half of u.s. stocks pay no dividends. He says bitcoin pays no dividend. What do we really own, when we own a non-dividend paying stock?? A piece of paper that we hope some Moe will pay more for in the future. (And why would he? Havent figured that out either....wait because he also thinks some future Moe will pay more! Got it)

He doesn't say what people need to invest in given all the constant and egregious printing of fiat money
