Great analysis, thank you! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

Both the Ozempic and the Wegovy shortages SUCK, and Novo should be ashamed of how badly they’ve dropped the ball on production. 🤦 That said, there’s a logic to which dosages are available. Ozempic is a T2D med (*supposed* 2B anyway, though many ppl use it off-label for weight-loss), and even the low doses, which are (sorta kinda) available provide good blood sugar control and Hba1c improvements. Low doses provide almost as much benefit as high doses for this. Wegovy meanwhile is a weight-loss med, and for weight-loss, while some ppl lose a good amt of weight on low doses, generally you need to titrate up to at least the medium-doses to see a good WL effect. And some will def need the high doses. So, makes sense that the mid-to-higher Wegovy doses are (sorta kinda) available, for efficacy reasons, and that the lower Ozempic doses are (sorta kinda) available, for the same reason. Of course, that Novo is in such a production bind that they have to pick and choose which dosages to provide in this manner is quite sad for their reputation, and the health of a great many of their customers. They’re trying, but this is triage, essentially. 😬

ANY weight-loss by *any* means generally results in the loss of some lean mass alongside the fat loss. That’s just how it works. For instance, if you used to weigh 250 lbs, and now you weigh 150, that’s 100 less pounds you have to cart around, and some of the lower-body muscle you developed to do so while obese will go away (unless you lift a lotta weights and eat a lotta protein). Obese ppl also carry around a lot of excess WATER weight, which tends to count as lean mass when measured. A lot of that goes away too, as you lose weight. So the REAL Q is, what PERCENTAGE of weight lost is lean mass as opposed to fat, and is it WORSE (aka a higher percentage) with GLP-1 meds as opposed to general, typical, no-meds weight loss? The studies I’ve heard of seem to indicate that no, it’s not worse with these meds. 🤷‍♂️

Independent pharmacies are doing better than chain pharmacies because they offer, compounding, mail order and sometimes even delivery. CVS and Walgreens are suffering from all the looting and now they have empty shelves because of the “progressive” states. I was in New York last week and every CVS I went had multiple empty shelves, you couldn’t buy a bag of chips.

Those days are over. Everything is pass-through now. Every state is ending spread pricing.

Very cool podcast. I work for a PBM and I find that stuff very interesting

Okay tell them to work harder? God this woman sounds like such a drag queen

You’re forgetting about the Zepbound saving card that Lilly offers. Check it out. It makes a pretty *huge* difference (though ok, maybe it goes away or gets heavily watered-down after 2024. 🤷‍♂️ )

You can buy an option for much cheaper

Actually guys, the US list price on Wegovy is $1,349. So, even worse than you say. 😯 And, sadly, Novo will be able to continue to get away with this for quite some time, as demand continues to outstrip supply. 🤷‍♂️ Zepbound does not change this, but will be a great alternative for ppl sick of Wegovy’s high price and frequent unavailability… we should see *some* drug-switchers, at least. But to truly blow up this price-gouging dynamic will take multiple strong alternatives to Wegovy in the obesity meds space, and in good supply. That’s likely gonna take a couple of years. 😕

You can boy gold is smaller amounts. Just with a higher premium. But you also get to sell them for a bit higher as well. You still pay gas fees on Bitcoin

Love the absence of any context or explanation of what someone is injecting or why. Well not really. Why not squeeze a bit more info into the short.

Thats the stupidest thing ive ever heard.

Nice ‘cast. 👍 But one of y’all has the most echo-y and/or overloaded mic/room acoustics I’ve heard in awhile.

Brother that’s why gold is and always has been valuable not everyone can have it

Blackouts will be long

You can't? 🤔

Lmao adderall does not do what you think it does to everyone 😭

And this is why certain PBMs work with CVS & others with Walgreens

Pharmacies aren't loosing money😂

This is how it works when billing Medicare Part D also. They come back up to a year later and take the money.

Enjoy a lonely short retirement homeless

Tell us you’re broke without telling us you’re broke

Monopoly money😂🤣

If it isn't backed by the government it's not real money

No

Fiat currency is what's backing Bitcoin. There would be absolutely 0 value if it wasn't for people investing with legitimate fiat currencies

Jokes 😂

It’s a time boom waiting to go off

Ponzi scheme. Sbf

The redundancy is a killer,

These pharmacies are closing because of three main reasons; first is that big box stores like Walmart and Target are increasing focus and scope of their pharmacies, second is that online storefronts like Amazon are beginning to have the ability to act as pharmacies, and third is the fact that these major pharmacy chains expanded by like 1500% in the span of 10 years by constantly opening new pharmacies and buying out their competition. This has cause an over saturation of pharmacies in urban and suburban areas while making a lot of rural areas unprofitable. This was just the inevitable outcome of poor business practices and not changing with the times.

Thank you for having me on, it was great chatting about Bitcoin and Crypto!

Seriously I don’t care who his parents are. He needs to go to jail. He’s a criminal. He stole millions of dollars. He ruined people’s lives.

‘Jewish’ is the only explanation you need for his actions.

anyone with money can start a business doesn’t mean they have to be good at it.

The future risks and obstacles would be th first thought of anyone starting a business. A lemonade stand owner first thought should be to ensure that lemons and sugar are always gonna be available. So, they find more than one source of lemons and sugar. . Someone in financial service service sector responsible for deposits of other people’s money should first think about protecting these deposits. What are the risks we will be exposed to? Can I monitor these risks? If so, how do I monitor these risks? Who should I hire for this critical job? It’s basic shit. I would not believe a graduate of Tallahassee Juco giving Sam’s lame excuses, let alone Sam himself- an MIT grad who worked at a prestigious trading firm.

To push the introduction of one world currency buy the unknown world government bitcoin is the flame thats sparks the world adoption of cryto as world currency most likely alt coins used world wide why else would shib for example have a a quatillion coins as well as others to be adopted by the mases bitcoin will be the new gold a leading asset by maketcap and countries all be using shib cardano doge etc few small countries already have adopted it or im just a nut job with a tin hat either enjoy the ride mwahaha

aint so in my country.

Keep felating billionaires.

RAISING MINIMUM WAGE DOES NOTHING, BUT HURT YOU. (not of my opinion, but of fact, facts everyone knows) Your allowing politicians to raise minimum wage. Acting like it’s a good thing, like it benefits you in some way. WRONG! Raising minimum wage does nothing beneficial, it actually robs you. Use you common sense, #1 Store owners raise prices, just because of the raising of minimum wage. Cancels out the benefit of raising of minimum wage. #2 Raising minimum wage lowers the value of any savings or investments anyone has. Example; if you saved $10,000 in 1985, and you still have it saved, it’s worth less than $2,500. #3 Raising minimum wage IS THE #1 CAUSE OF JOB LOSS!! Why do you think everyone takes production “jobs” to other countries? Rising labor costs. #4 Lowers the value of the U.S. dollar through out the world. That’s dangerous for all of us. IT'S A STUPID IDEA, THAT CAME FROM LAZY POLITICS

Win win for govt tax, people happy they got more p/hr but small or big business gonna add more price increases and middle person still empty hand and pocket. Plus before lower wages put everyone in lower gross income brackets. But with this more tax cuts from gross which will put you back to same spot. But people will spend more because they are delusional.

It will lead to greater unemployment and potentially more homelessness

Ty for answering my question! very informative
