How the Fed “Went Broke” with Lyn Alden

[@adamsawyer6248]

I swear if Lynn Alden was the only guest on WBD I would still vever miss an episode 🤣

[@huskeyei]

Hand the channel over to Lyn

[@trentfowler6239]

I mean, I’d probably miss *fewer* of the .

[@angusf8414]

Same here. This whole hour is basically worth a lot i can say. million times better than a uni lecture

[@angusf8414]

@@huskeyei lmao i think the hosts questions are good tho, it help us (non-specialist) to step-by-step understand what she is thinking.

[@MH-xq3bo]

I have to agree. I'll admit that a lot of it goes over my head and wish it didn't but it's still fascinating.

[@STEV3.147]

Lyn Alden is absolute best Macro person I’ve ever learned from. Thank you Danny

[@Dpaq13]

no doubt

[@STEV3.147]

[@mjl22]

What an absolute gem. Lyn, you are the best! Thanks for bringing her on frequently. During a time when so much of the public discourse is incredibly superficial it is stunningly refreshing to have someone with such depth of understanding explain things so coherently.

[@h2jennings]

Great interview. Lyn is a rock ⭐

[@cesardeoliveira8262]

This is Lyn's best episode and one of the best of the show ever. Congrats all. Thank you Lyn.

[@jeremiahshannon4517]

Thank you Lynn for explaining this to me

[@SUNNMANN139]

This video of Lyn Alden explaining how the FED and money works is absolutely excellent.

[@gregrice2024]

Excellent episode I feel like I just took a crash course on the history of the Fed. Lyn explains so much in an accessible way, so quickly and efficiently. Basically not a single wasted sentence.

[@d4mdcykey]

Finally, got somebody who is not either blowing smoke up the ass of listeners with psycho babble BS, or they are woefully lacking basic knowledge of the things they claim to know, i.e. BS by proxy. Lyn rocks it everytime, with expertise and grace. Kudos.

[@ml9372]

I see Lynn and I watch. It’s an easy choice as she’s easily one of the best analysts out there and does a great job of conveying the important information.

[@didactica9326]

I love Lyn's smile whenever she talks to Peter, its nice to see her smile!

[@shaunmcfarlane1099]

Lynn is fantastic, finally signed up for her Premium service!

[@MattiMattiMattiMatti]

There's something about Lyn that is very very effective to learn from and very memorable personality, even with sich a 'dry topic'. Try to have her on more often! I know you do your best haha.

[@Jimmybob21]

Good to see Lyn on the show :)

[@we3k1ngs12]

Buying a digital copy for convenience and then a hard copy to display to all just how smart I am 😂. Can’t wait Lyn !

[@GRumpyonekinobi]

The breathing is strong in this one! Good to know everyone was alive & well!

[@alanjacobson5850]

Hi Lyn, Thanks for keeping your subscription price so it's available to us at the bottom of the investing ladder. Much appreciated ! :)

[@britt7299]

The conversations with Lyn are the main reason it looks like I slowly but steady get a better understanding of the financial world. Big thanks 🙏for you & your team and of course a huge "thank you very much' 🙏for Lyn !!

[@jingmu1289]

Always love Lynn’s episodes!👍

[@Gunnar-Peterson]

Great podcast, informative and straight to the point

[@Mr3169Leo]

after the 3rd time of watching this video, finally I have understood what she's talking about.. thanks a lot!!

[@thatsinterestinghmmm4696]

I’ll be getting Lynn’s book…she rocks!!

[@JB-lq7hx]

Always looking forward to seeing and listening to you Lyn Look forward to your book launch..

[@thecryptobureau6738]

Thanks Danny, Lyn is an absolute champion mate. How have we had our heads in the sand for so long?

[@RiAirgead]

Thanks guys! Always love seeing any Lyn content but the best interviews are on this show. What a great compliment to the article.

[@AnthonyJones-gf6yv]

This is the number 1 bitcoin show

[@bitcoinpoemspro1406]

Excellent. I will get her book. She is so knowledgeable.

[@kathrynchamberlin3405]

Lyn is awesome and so capable of explaining money and the “system”, She is too smart for my own good.

[@Kernoe]

thank you so much for bringing her on.

[@psoidonym2389]

"financial system Jesus"...spot on 🤣 Best description an a nice compliment for Lyn. And well deserved.

[@TheRealDerekS]

last weekend having dinner with father and mother in law, retired 65+, I commented that every week my social security deductions are best visualized as turning to ash because I'll never see social security 25 years from now... maybe off handed but i was not condescending in tone... my mother in law replied "no, it's not being wasted for no reason, its taking care of us".... she was dead serious. my wife looked at me shocked, we were floored at how boomers view our situation... my wife was in disbelief. I told her, honestly I'm not even mad, bcuz I understand my mother in law is simply following the present incentives. This is just how it is, why would she be concerned with anything beyond the carrot in front of her face.

[@sawdustcrypto3987]

I give Peter the benefit of the doubt because Lyn appears to like him

[@StaySmart101]

Lyn you are the best!

[@markleontev2150]

Thanks again, brilliant as always. Great point regarding dealing with budget deficits as the means of fixing inflation. How about setting up a sort of friendly conversation between Lyn and Stephanie Kelton (I know, I know) about that? I just think it would be a tremendously interesting debate to watch, should the parties be up to it.

[@tomweiss6621]

The last question was the best! Thanks.

[@SavanaT]

Where did Lyn Alden get all this data/info, especially about how the FED/Treasury operates? I can't find this data anywhere? I'm so curious where her source is... No MBA school teaches this as far as I know..

[@zanychelly]

The only thing I would ask Lyn for a next interview, or for any other interview: Please, get a better camera and mic Other than that, it was rock solid. Thank you both

[@bretgreen5314]

Lyn is the best. When was this interview though? The Federal Reserve reduced reserve requirement ratios to 0% effective on March 26, 2020. . .

[@nuetrino]

Can't wait for the book. Thanks all

[@tomasrothroth8605]

thanks Lyn and Peter

[@carlhiggins6677]

Fantastic. Can't wait for the book.

[@OZcafehead]

I nearly navigated away when I heard "Happy New Year".

[@bernardgalactica]

Lynn is so next level.

[@shakenbake6303]

What awesome info! Looking forward to the book!!!

[@Kupacolypse]

Love learning from Lyn!

[@hallbrad]

Keep getting distracted by the CI Fishbeard surfboard in the background. 🏄 Best board I've owned...

[@TheLKStar]

I believe Lyn is a genius but I wish she would do a long explanation of lots of "ifs" for what to do with our money as retail investors. If the situation is X, it's good to do Y....

[@kenknuppel3067]

"If you have a million dollars, where do you stick it?" Is maybe my favorite sentence now.

[@rtjfamily]

What timing of this episode being released, literally three days before it directly unfolded

[@jonnes__4657]

I need a good summary.... that was so much information from Lyn.☝️

[@jimnichols5584]

So much easy to understand info from Lyn every time. After this interview I’m trying to imagine the true benefit of holding bitcoin on the FED/Central Bank balance sheet if/when that ever happens.

[@motopolak]

For sure. If anyone finds out the Fed bought so much as a Satoshi to put on their balance sheet it’ll be a game changer. Hard to even imagine what would start occurring in the rest of the world in response.

[@elchichi]

Great analysis (and ASMR when these two get together lol) thanks

[@SCOTT-ki3ve]

I can't wait for Ms.(Dr.?) Alden's book

[@georgelevison3722]

Another 10/10 from you guys 👍🏻

[@JezebelIsHongry]

She is a national treasure

[@AiHexBuilder]

He not she.

[@jules7091]

Lyn Alden is fantastic - but can anyone recommend anyone who can explain Canada's financial system in a similar manner?

[@RiAirgead]

If you find one let me know!

[@elihuntersherman]

I can explain Canada's financial situation in three words: Canada is fucked!

[@Joehtoo]

Love Lyn!!

[@heinzn6272]

Wow at this time of the SVB debacle this interview aged well! thanks

[@Eamo-21]

Peter, where did you get that bull poster in your background?

[@LorenzoGiovenali]

Read the "Aldrich Plan" book from 1912: it describes the situation when all of this started.

[@SavanaT]

Who wrote the software that keeps track of all the bank lending, fed lending, fed printing, bank interbank lending, money creation.... what super duper computer tracks all this?

[@lukejones7366]

Hearts to Lyn Alden 💓

[@georgetoth6768]

Great web cast...need to re watch

[@peteinthepocket9208]

Omg what timing for this ep Pete lol

[@joythought]

I would buy Lynn bonds. She such a treasure. Ok, that was bad but the interview was good. Some may take away that a sound money system could work. Nope. Otherwise so spot on.

[@aliiisalama]

This is all very true but it is a temporary phenomenon and they know it... In the long run, the opposite effect will happen. Once we get the drop in rates, the interest income will all be priced longer-term at current high rates, and then the rates on liabilities will drop, and they will make huge sums of income. They will stomach negative equity with some accounting tricks for some long term gain.

[@darylcampbell3364]

Great information!

[@dek2000utube]

When I grow up I want to be like Lyn!

[@mixpix]

Perfect episode.

My opinion about Bitcoin reflects the one of Charlie Munger, but I like this channel for the macro input. Thanks! 🙂

[@JoseValdez-tb9nf]

"It's less I view it as good or bad and more I view it as inevitable" ... is the same answer that should have been given about ordinals

[@motopolak]

I feel like this is essentially what Junseth said in the last interview (live hangout at Pub Key or whatever it’s called)

[@mynameis5427]

The only way to effectively transcend inflation/deflation cycles is through the production of new and useful asset classes. These provide a stable point by which the "money" can actually exist.

[@adamcar9376]

She’s SO good !

[@blockontherock69]

Great guest!.

[@01058sr]

Great episode! You need to edit out your breathing though, it was pretty distracting when Lyn was talking 😬

[@kingdang855]

Great content

[@JonFrumTheFirst]

I had no idea this was happening until Lyn told me.

[@williamlu7413]

And that just happened with SVB that’s insane

[@usercos187]

what Lynn describes at 59m is exactly what happened with anchor / terra ust....

[@thimmug5553]

Wow amazing... speechless

[@angusf8414]

The crazy thing is, Lyn is postulating these starting this year, and then NOW, we see the first crash, the default of Silicon Valley Bank...It will not be the last one, the whole system is collapsing from bottom to top.

[@lahawtho]

When the debt is high at the federal reserve why does that result in inflation? Because more bonds are issued and swapped for bank reserves that feed into the commercial banking system. And then they fractionally lends off of that? It’s not clear to me with specific examples how a federal reserve deficit will continually be creating inflation?

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

So what individuals benefit from this? We're always talking about the federal reserve, government, treasury, banks etc But what people are actually getting their pockets filled?

[@TerrysTwigReviews]

Lyn is best.

[@robertorivera791]

Amazing almost everyone in the country knows Cardi B - But so Few Know the name LYN ALDEN - Amazing the world we live in.

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

Is that the one you wear when Cardi A is in the wash?

Super useful info.

[@monkswhiskers3354]

[@MarkCicero]

Erie that this was recording pre-svb failure.

[@Garce227]

Merveilleuse 🎉

[@brianarsenault8882]

People say Bitcoin is hard to understand 😝 the fiat game hurts my head

[@bujin5455]

45:30. I don't know that it's as long term as people think. Sure, the insolvency can threaten Fed independence, but the raising interest rates, pushing the Gov toward insolvency is likely to do that FAR FAR FAR faster. The spend happy Gov is not going to put up with high interest rates for long.
