Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory
The Same System That Crashed the Economy in 2008 Is Running Again β€” And It's Already Inside Your Retirement Account | Tom Bilyeu Deepdive

Whether by conspiracy or simple incentive structures, we find ourselves in the middle of something I'm calling the invisible coup, that by design or accident,

is siphoning the wealth out of the middle and working classes and funneling it up to the wealthy.

Everybody can feel it.

You can see it.

It is patently obvious.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

It all happens via a very simple set of mechanisms.

And the current structure of the private credit market is just the latest tool facilitating this wealth transfer that you need to protect yourself against.

Here's how the coup is playing out.

The setup of our current economic system uses central banking and modern monetary theory

aka debt, deficits, money printing, and inflation to push risk, cost, and vulnerability away from the banks who will be backed up by money printing and they shove it onto anyone who holds a fiat currency like the dollar.

Then the system insulates the banks from the downside of these risks by classifying them as too big to fail.

Tom Bilyeu's Impact Theory

This designation acts like an insurance backstop paid for via money printing, which causes inflation.

And private credit is just the most recent method of displacing risk across as many taxpayers as possible while concentrating the wins, if there are any, at the top.
