The Coming Demise of the Dollar with Addison Wiggin

June 09, 2023

Addison Wiggin was with Kerry to discuss a broad range of topics related to finance and economics. They talked about the importance of understanding big trends and positioning personal money accordingly, as well as the mistakes made during the boom and the importance of good investment practices. They also discussed the causes of inflation and how it is impacted by the reserve currency of the world, arguing that inflation is primarily a monetary phenomenon and that the Federal Reserve’s policies have a global impact. The speakers also discussed the problems with cryptocurrencies, including the collapse of FTX and the involvement of the SEC in investigating crypto fraud. They agreed that cryptocurrencies lack many of the principles of currency and are not a medium of exchange per se’. Additionally, they talked about the psychology of financial markets and the importance of self-regulation, noting that the dopamine rush that comes with boom profits in financial markets makes it very difficult to self-regulate, especially for inexperienced investors.
