I remember back in university some of my friends ran a campaign for freshmen members of the RPG club where the players were members of a special force in a religious kingdom working for three different high ranking members (i.e. three different GMs running the game in turns) of the kingdom, each specializing in different kind of operations. Things ranged from dealing with labor uprisings to corrupt bankers from another kingdom disrupting the local economy to searching for artifact that would allow ships to sail under water. The stated goal of the guys running the campaign was to see how long it would take for the players to realize they're essentially SS forces in equivalent to Nazi Germany, taking orders from equivalents of Himmler, Goebbels and Ribbentropp if I recall. Except the players never did. They did have fun though, which is the main thing.

Whether it was FTX or Celsius or (soon to be) Microstrategy, companies with large caps proving to be scams hasn't seemed to slowed down wider optimism What does it look like when everyone finally wises up to Max Stupid and the whole tulip market comes crashing down?

[@LiveType]

Took some scrolling before I found an introspective comment. The short answer is I don't know. The Fed keeps allowing this kind of thing to happen. My 2012 and 2013 bitcoin is crying. I thought 1k was so high. Lots of "loose money" floating around at the moment as the Fed keeps the markets flush with cash. Notice how in 2022 when they started removing money from circulation (google m2 fred) the massive speculation almost instantly cut off and stayed flat for quite a while before things started pumping again when the money came flowing back. The short answer for this to get "corrected" it needs to become in some way shape or form not possible to do at the foundational level. What would cause that I don't know but an "accident/natural disaster" followed by some enforced legislation fits the bill. Otherwise when the Fed starts to remove money again which given trumps victory I'm not sure will happen next year. Then it's a chicken and egg problem. The comment about the ponzi scheme should be telling. They work and they work well when people want them to work. Just not for the people buying in at the end. So the obvious solution is to start the ponzi schemes yourself. Which wouldn't you know it... People are doing exactly that with zero repercussion because it doesn't get "big enough" and that there are simply too many to go after at the moment. Mr. SBF would have been fine if he had taken out loans which I find absolutely hilarious. His poor timing is something to be studied. I have no idea when this gets cycle gets corrected like I said. It either needs to get outlawed and actually enforced or the fed says enough which again given trumps election I don't think will happen until something buckles and everything comes crashing down. Whole forest fire thing. Small ones are good as they clear out the brush. If they don't happen, when a fire occurs, it burns through everything. Now given my observation that the more detail a comment goes into the more downvotes and ai moderation it gets, this is obviously not a smart comment to make but I like making them as it lets me think. So thank you @skyler_schenck Hmm, buying a decent chunk of gold may not be a bad idea now that I'm thinking about this. Even moreso now than last year.

Great vid. I was hoping you were going to close with infinite banking, but tulips also works. :)

[@aleisterleopold6229]

Excuse me, I prefer the term StupidMaxing

[@mattbenz99]

Something you didn't mention in your max stupid is that every investment company out there is yelling for their investors to diversify outside of the US. Vanguard predicts an average 2% per year return in the US for over the next decade. This doesn't mean that stocks will go up 2% a year in a steady fashion, this means that there might be a crash and in 10 years, the average price will only be up the equivalent of 2% a year, including dividends. These are also companies who's entire business model relies on you staying invested. So them telling you to diversify will literally cost them money over time. But they are that sure that lower returns are coming. We are now at a point where foreign stocks have never been so undervalued, and American stocks have never been so over valued. Like, to buy $1 of profit in the US now costs you $30 up front. But in Europe, it costs you like $14 up front to buy $1 of profit. And yes, this doesn't include expected growth, but it is nearly impossible for the US market to double its profits over Europe in the medium term.

If you are not in the financial market right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you...prevent inflation

[@KeystoneAnglers]

Love that you placed your face right in the middle G

[@robster7787]

Not financial advice, but your best bet for actually benefiting from investing in Bitcoin is to just buy Bitcoin directly. Ignore the ETFs and presumed investment firms dedicated to Bitcoin. When buying directly, at least you have semi-full control of the investment. Throw in loose change and leave it for a decade.

[@time_lightsout_1186]

15:00 msrt is doing the infinite money glitch thats why they keep pumping. If you dont know what you're talking about, especially when it comes to investing, dont speak on it at all unless you have questions.

Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds is a great read that talks a lot about the tulip craze and a lot of other examples. People are, have been, and will be dumb

Perfect, i just finished watching this VOD. Time to rewatch!

[@plamen-vt]

that video was insane, well done! Max Stupid is a term I'm gonna use from now on

[@alexc6926]

Great video Atrioc absolutely what you’ve mentioned multiple aspects are in a bull market but it’s gotten so ridiculous as none of the rise in interest rates has calmed the craziness we saw for industries like NFTs and crypto. Plus all the buzzword every 2 years for vc funding like AI now or cloud back in 2015. But I think it is all good to mention how well keep seeing multi facet bull market due to global trade breakdown with fleeing capital and investors seeing the US as the only safe one with good aging demographics plus consumption. We also have to taken into account that certain economies like China or Vietnam with assets seizure or shutting down industries due to politicks but others with currency devaluing like Turkey and Argentina before Millie. We have to take into account that money laundering from the at risk areas for people with capital will look at any possible way to get out of those countries like inflated real estate in Canada, Australia, NZ or investing in the only stock/bonds they see safe like the US. Plus also the mass global boomer retirement will look at even safe countries like EU ones to move their capital or assests to safer places like US. All these things are contributing to bull market plus lack of regulations in new ones like crypto. This doesn’t take away though in my option from actual increase in value for certain AI chip companies like Nvidia, Medical technology/device industry, biotech, statelite/telecom infrastructure, energy. It’s a multifaceted problem which may not pop due to outside factors of US such as fleeing capital flows to it but there still are parts that will innovate and grow for the US just like Novartis is actual growth happening for pharmas in the EU

[@alexc6926]

Also to add major reason being the rise of ETF for retirements meaning that bull market increase can continue
