Search Engine · How Peptides Conquered the Internet · 13 Feb 2026 podcast

And so it led to this flourishing of an all-medicine ecosystem.

So some of the same people who were ivermectin guys are now becoming peptide guys.

I was listening to my very first episode of the Truth podcast by Vivek Ramaswamy, where he was podcasting with Balaji Srinivasan, who was the Coinbase CTO and a very influential investor and executive in Silicon Valley, who at one point was being considered for FDA commissioner.

And Balaji and Vivek were, you know, talking about their frustrations with the FDA, with the way that COVID was handled, because even if people believed in vaccines, I think there's a lot of controversy in Silicon Valley around slow approvals or school shutdowns and things like that.

And there's this great line that Balaji said that was like, just like the SEC is trying to keep you from getting wealthy,

the FDA is trying to keep you from getting healthy.

I thought that was like hilarious because there is this mindset that sort of developed that our regulatory institutions are actually trying to keep the little guys down.

And that's why you need these like crypto guys on podcasts to tell you what to buy to get rich.

You need these like podcasters to teach you what peptides to take to get healthy.

So I think COVID is a weird time for online information.

Yeah, I mean, I think so.

You know, like...

A lot of it comes from this sort of idea that people should do their own research.

And rather than having the paternalistic institutions decide what the boundaries of your action are, as an individual, you should be empowered to research your own shit coins and to research your own peptides.

And they shouldn't be making these risk trade-offs for you, you know?

And so, yeah, the big pharma stuff was a big complaint that I heard from a lot of peptide users was like,

Especially with the people who started off with the GLPs, the way they'd put it is like, I'm spending over $1,000 a month to be on prescription GLPs.

And then I find out that you can get literally the same substance for $100 to $200 a month from a gray market Chinese source.

And then they start to go, wait, like that doesn't make any sense.

Like why is Eli Lilly making me pay 10 times what I could be paying for the exact same thing?
