#27 Mark Yusko (How Bitcoin + blockchain decentralisation will demolish the Wall Street System)

Billionaire Hedge fund manager Mark Yusko (Founder + CEO of Morgan Creek Capital Management, $1.8Bn AuM) notes how Bitcoin MAY have been created by the CIA or NSA. He discusses the potential of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, highlighting their ability to disrupt traditional financial systems and enable peer-to-peer transactions. He emphasizes the importance of trust and truth in financial transactions and the benefits of decentralization. Yusko also explores the historical context of technological advancements and the challenges and opportunities of institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies. He concludes by discussing the role of scams and hacks in the crypto space and the need for increased security measures. Bitcoin has never been hacked or had a fraudulent transaction in its 15-year existence. The Bitcoin blockchain is highly secure due to its decentralized nature and the high cost of hacking it. Bitcoin is the source of money, and its blockchain is the most powerful supercomputer in the world. Bitcoin and blockchain technology are comparable to the internet and personal computers in terms of their potential to revolutionize industries and empower individuals. The government cannot seize Bitcoin, but it can make on-ramps and off-ramps more challenging. The future of finance will be decentralized and built on blockchain technology.

#26 Ashton Forbes (Malaysia Flight MH370 - what *really* happened)

Within the vast repository of enigmas, this case transcends conventional understanding and confronts the fundamental essence of our existence—the tragic account of Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370, which vanished without a trace in March of 2014. Almost ten years later, there has been an absence of substantive breakthroughs up until the summer of 2023, when intrepid citizen journalist Ashton Forbes emerged armed with evidence of profound implication. Forbes has discredited many of the mainstream narratives surrounding MH370 while suggesting a Lithium ion fire may have set in motion a series of unprecedented and unfortunate events. In this chat with Ben, Ashton elucidates a series of enigmatic videos, each challenging the precepts of logic and reason. However, it remains imperative to acknowledge the potential for these recordings to be crafted falsities, perhaps even orchestrated by entities with a vested interest in obfuscation of the true facts —speculatively, the U.S. Government itself. These purported revelations, while tantalizing, raise the spectre of deliberate misinformation, compelling us to tread cautiously through the labyrinthine corridors of speculation. The implications, nonetheless, are profound, as each frame of this cryptic narrative unfurls the established threads of conventional wisdom, leaving us ensnared in a liminal space where the extraordinary assumes an unsettling normativity. The search for truth is a nuanced pursuit, and in exploring the depths of this mystery, Ashton and Ben confront the complexities inherent in distinguishing fact from illusion.
