Lyn Alden: Social security, pensions, Medicare... "it's basically a Ponzi scheme at the end of the day." They were all built on the assumption that every generation would be bigger than the last. Fertility rates collapsed. Now a shrinking group of young workers has to support a massive aging... show more

Lyn Alden: The entire modern money system is only 55 years old (most people alive today were born before it existed). "It's kind of like this been this grand experiment that the whole world has done." Before the 1970s, money was backed by gold. Now it's just a list of ones and zeros managed by people who can't balance a budget. The question was always whether politicians could run a ledger responsibly. "The answer so far is that in almost every country imbalances slowly grow." FT Lyn Alden Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪.

Lyn Alden: Every currency system in the world has to grow or it collapses (it's how the system is designed). The system always needs more debt to service the old debt - stop expanding and it dies. Peter McCormack: "wealth disparity will have to keep expanding until it collapses, hence revolution." So the choice is: the rich get richer, or collapse? Lyn: "For the most part, that's how it works." FT Lyn Alden Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪.

Lyn Alden: We're living through a slow financial collapse. Most people don't KNOW it. But they can FEEL it. "People kind of look around and say, 'Why does it seem like everything's more expensive? I'm still earning money, but it just doesn't feel like it goes as far.' And a lot of times they're right." The money supply has been quietly debasing wages and savings in the background for decades. FT Lyn Alden Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪.

Lyn Alden: "The best product Coca-Cola ever sold was their bonds, not their Coke." Coca-Cola borrows at 2-3% while the money supply grows at 7%. They then use that cheap debt to buy scarcer assets. Governments do it. Corporations do it. Wealthy individuals do it. Everyone is shorting the currency... Except the people at the bottom. They can't access cheap debt and "are getting the full damage of the inflation" on their wages and savings. FT Lyn Alden Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪.

Lyn Alden: After 2008, banks were bailed out. Bankers had one year without bonuses and then went straight back to making fortunes. They won for years shorting the currency and owning scarce assets. Then a crisis hit that would finally punish them for the leverage, and the government said "we're going to bail you out." "Take the risk away, lock in all the gains you've had, and socialize the losses." FT Lyn Alden Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪.

Lyn Alden: Financial repression is the endgame for developed countries with too much debt. They hold interest rates artificially below money supply growth. Sometimes they force people to hold the currency - the US literally banned gold ownership. "For the land of the free, you couldn't own a benign yellow metal because it was competition to what they wanted to do with the currency." Over years and decades they siphon value away and "kind of reset the system." FT Lyn Alden Peter McCormack 🏴‍☠️🇬🇧🇮🇪.

Lyn Alden: Money supply in the developed world has historically grown around 7% per year. The average salary raise = Maybe 2-3%. Over a decade, you're getting a smaller and smaller share of the total money supply just by showing up to work.

Lyn Alden: People keep asking "when will the debt matter?" Like there's some big day of reckoning coming. "Sovereign debt tends to work differently. It tends to be more of a process." "It has been mattering... since about 2018/2019." The US deficit is now bigger than ALL private bank lending combined. That's never happened outside a recession before. FT Lyn Alden Danny Knowles.

Lyn Alden: Private equity will buy your favorite businesses, gut them, lever them up, and flip them in 3-7 years... "People would say, I really liked my veterinarian clinic and then it just went to sh*t all of the sudden..." "Basically what happened was a private equity fund bought it." There's a better model: buy great businesses and use the cash flows to build a $BTC treasury. FT Walker⚡️ Lyn Alden THE Bitcoin Podcast.

Lyn Alden: AI won't replace all jobs overnight - but it's already reshaping white-collar work in a way most of us can't see just yet. (The signal isn't so much mass firings as it is a slowdown in hiring.) "One person can do the work of five people" - just like one worker overseeing factory robots replaced a whole assembly line. That same shift is now coming for office work. FT Nik Bhatia Lyn Alden The Bitcoin Layer.

Lyn Alden: AI companies are losing money on every interaction (on purpose). It's similar to Uber: lose money per ride, reach critical mass, then raise prices. "They're selling you AI services for less than it costs them to provide them... they lose money despite being some of the most used applications in the world." The bet is that scale + efficiency eventually makes the numbers work. That's still an open question. FT Natalie Brunell ⚡️ Lyn Alden.

Lyn Alden: stablecoins are going from $300B to potentially multiple trillions - and the US barely has to do anything. "The US doesn't really have to do much. They just have to not stop it." Africa has 40 currencies. Latin America has 30. Every border is a friction. Stablecoins dissolve that friction for anyone not on a sanctions list. But there's a hidden cost... Stablecoin holders get zero yield while Tether pockets all the interest. "You're basically holding dollars without yield" while the supply grows 7% a year. (It's not a free lunch) FT Lyn Alden GoldRepublic.

Lyn Alden "Gold had a really, really powerful 2-year run" - but that's exactly the problem. When it hit $5,000 an ounce, her view was it was "back up to something that looks like fair value." But it got there too fast. "A lot of the asymmetry was taken out of the trade." Her call: gold needs to "find a bottom and build a new base" before she'd pound the table on buying again. FT David Lin Lyn Alden ego death capital.

Lyn Alden on why $BTC is struggling right now: First, the broader crypto space is finally being seen for what it is... "A lot of it was fake decentralization... regulatory arbitrage" with "not a lot of there there." DeFi total locked value never took out its 2021 peak. Second, capital that once chased crypto as the fastest horse has now shifted toward AI... Chip stocks, hyperscalers, the SpaceX IPO. "Until that kind of cools off, Bitcoin could be somewhat pressured." FT David Lin Lyn Alden ego death capital.

Lyn Alden: Bitcoin's 4-year cycle had its best run, and now AI is eating its lunch. "For a long time, Bitcoin was the fastest horse really that you could invest in." But the rise of AI companies gave investors a 10x alternative. Capital that used to chase $BTC is now chasing semiconductors. Bitcoin's unique edge - self-custody, borderless, unseizable - doesn't disappear. But from a pure price performance standpoint, "AI is kind of sucking a lot of the attention out of it." When AI goes sideways, Bitcoin may re-attract that capital. FT Lyn Alden GoldRepublic.

Central banks now hold more gold than U.S. Treasuries for the first time since 1996. Gold above $3,560/oz. Futures at $3,630. Trust in fiat is cracking. As Lyn Alden warns: “Nothing stops this train.” the U.S. is locked in a sovereign debt loop of fiscal dominance that can only end through inflation, devaluation, or reset.
