just like communism is bad for Russians.

And a lot of people in cryptocurrency understand that.

They understand that it's unhealthy.

And they also understand that they need to kick the habit at some point.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

And in fact, they are being forced to kick the habit because in the absence of a counterforce to Keynesianism, what happens is they don't just take 10% of the wealth and

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Balaji: The Fed Does Invisibly What Lenin Did With Guns β€” And You're Not Supposed to Notice | Impact Theory W/ Tom Bilyeu & Balaji

They take 30% and 80% and then 99% because they can print infinitely, right?

I want to land the plane.

I want to land the plane.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Balaji: The Fed Does Invisibly What Lenin Did With Guns β€” And You're Not Supposed to Notice | Impact Theory W/ Tom Bilyeu & Balaji

And so the thing is, um,

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Balaji: The Fed Does Invisibly What Lenin Did With Guns β€” And You're Not Supposed to Notice | Impact Theory W/ Tom Bilyeu & Balaji

It is hard to have binocular vision because like if one is on, let's say, center right in America, you're basically going to see China as bad because it is bad for the center right American on balance.

Balaji: The Fed Does Invisibly What Lenin Did With Guns β€” And You're Not Supposed to Notice | Impact Theory W/ Tom Bilyeu & Balaji

And if you're center left or left, you're going to see the Internet as bad because it is bad for Democrats on balance from a jobs and stature standpoint and so on.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Balaji: The Fed Does Invisibly What Lenin Did With Guns β€” And You're Not Supposed to Notice | Impact Theory W/ Tom Bilyeu & Balaji

Right.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Balaji: The Fed Does Invisibly What Lenin Did With Guns β€” And You're Not Supposed to Notice | Impact Theory W/ Tom Bilyeu & Balaji

Because just like Keynesianism, the difference is,

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Balaji: The Fed Does Invisibly What Lenin Did With Guns β€” And You're Not Supposed to Notice | Impact Theory W/ Tom Bilyeu & Balaji

They don't have a global reserve currency.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Balaji: The Fed Does Invisibly What Lenin Did With Guns β€” And You're Not Supposed to Notice | Impact Theory W/ Tom Bilyeu & Balaji

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
Balaji: The Fed Does Invisibly What Lenin Did With Guns β€” And You're Not Supposed to Notice | Impact Theory W/ Tom Bilyeu & Balaji

So that's a big difference.

They're not exporting it to others.
