you know we have a very good friendship and greg was screaming at me he said i've had 30 of the most important financial people on this year and they all say the dollar is going to collapse you have to be wrong i said greg i'm right the dollar is going to go up it's going to go up strongly and because i'm looking at all the stolen money right and and so he says finally i said i'll bet you a dollar he said you have to be wrong every financial guy in the world all these top guys are saying it's gonna i said it's not going to collapse it's going to go up

And he bet a dollar and I made him pay me because it was up 12% by the end of the year. I mean, it's a big move. And it was Farrell. It was thanks to Farrell that I was working with that I could really – and I was working with some money managers too. But, you know, you have to – if you're going to look at the economy, you have to look at the whole thing.

And if the secret part is as big as the overt part, you have to look at it on an integrated basis, which is hard, because it's hard to get reliable intelligence, as you know. But that's where the unanswered question comes in, and you have to just frame it.

Well, here's the thing. If you look at the control grid, it's very, there are two things that are unbelievably environmentally damaging. You have a global population of 8 billion people. If they all want to come up to a level of per capita spending and mineral and other resource uses as the West, enormous environmental pressure.

Where are you going to get all the minerals to build those roads, have that many cars, et cetera? So you're talking about enormous environmental pressure. That's number one. Number two, if you can institute breakthrough energy, then they're all going to want to have 10 kids, right?

More environmental.

More environmental.

So you solve that by control grid. But the thing that is the most energy wasteful of all is the control grid. Bitcoin, you know, three years ago was using more energy than Switzerland, right? Really? Yeah. In 2023, it was using like 140% of all the energy used by the Netherlands. Well, but you look at the data centers. I mean, just Bloomberg had an article two months ago.

30 by 2030 is what the article said. 30 new nuclear plants. And China's building nuclear plants, you know, right and left. So the energy, this much data and managing and keeping data, because they're talking about putting sensors throughout the forests.
