    Matthew Piepenburg: "Your Government is Robbing You — And They're Lying About It"

    Matthew Piepenburg made millions during the dot-com bubble at 28. Now he says the system that made him rich is about to break. As partner at Von Greyerz and author of "Rigged to Fail," Matt has spent the last six years watching the debasement trade unfold exactly as he predicted in 2019. With $354 trillion in global debt, central banks stacking gold at 5x the rate since 2022, and a war he says is driven by dollar desperation — this conversation covers the full picture. We discuss: → Why the dollar was weaponized in 2022 and what happened next → How governments lie about inflation — and why Wall Street knows it → The Fed: not federal, not a reserve, and not serving you → Why gold at $5,500 is actually cheap when measured against M2 money supply → Stablecoins as CBDCs in disguise — the Genius Act breakdown → Trump's debt corner and why no president can solve this → "The retail investor is the plankton, Wall Street is the whale" → The Netherlands' 36% unrealized capital gains tax → His advice to a younger generation navigating more risk than ever before This is one of the most important macro conversations we've had on New Era Finance.

    The co-founder of Tether and STBL, the $140B stablecoin that changed crypto forever, just told me why your bank account is on borrowed time. Banks are lobbying to kill yield-bearing stablecoins.

People will stop talking about the technology and start using it." • Privacy vs regulation: the battle that will define the next decade • Why stablecoins are not payment tokens — they're programmable money 📊 TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 00:30 Understanding Stablecoins: A New Era 04:46 Banking the Unbanked: The Role of Stablecoins 09:36 Trust and Adoption: Overcoming Barriers 14:11 The Future of Financial Services: Choice and Control 19:15 Regulatory Challenges: The Clarity Act and Innovation 24:24 Stablecoin Evolution: Learning from Past Mistakes 28:23 Risk and Yield: Navigating the Stablecoin Landscape 33:35 CBDCs vs. Stablecoins: A Government Perspective 38:15 Creating Value: The User-Centric Approach 43:11 AI and Blockchain: The Future of Transactions 48:24 Privacy in a Digital World: Balancing Regulation and Freedom 50:10 Looking Ahead: The Future of Stablecoins and Blockchain 🔗 FOLLOW REEVE COLLINS: X: https://x.com/ReeveFCH Stable (STBL): https://stbl.com Wi-Fi (Web3 Banking): https://wifi.xyz 🎙️ LISTEN ON: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4m1NATQndU8yUUe1aRkOTn Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/new-era-finance/id1781211657 📈 OKX PARTNER: Sign up at https://www.okx.com/nl/campaigns/cryptomichnl Create your OKX account via my link to receive up to €100 in Bitcoin and start earning with your OKX card.

    Arno Wellens: Why The Netherlands Wants 36% of Your Future Gains

    The Netherlands just approved a 36% tax on unrealized gains, and your country could be next. If your Bitcoin goes up, you owe the government. Even if you never sold. The threshold? Just €60,000 in savings. Arno Wellens, one of Europe's leading voices on monetary policy and fiscal overreach, breaks down exactly what's happening — and why this won't stop at the Dutch border.

    Bitcoin just crashed 30% - and Jeff Booth says he's never felt better. Gold hit $5,000. Bitcoin dropped below $70K. Everyone is panicking. But Jeff Booth, author of The Price of Tomorrow, explains why you're measuring Bitcoin completely wrong — and why this crash actually proves his thesis.

You would be feeling incredible." 🔑 IN THIS EPISODE: - Why most people view Bitcoin wrong — and the 3 frames that change everything (technology, asset, protocol) - "The natural state of the free market is deflation. Staggering deflation." - Why Bitcoin's 40-45% IRR is the risk-free rate of the world - How Jeff built a better CRM than Salesforce in a weekend with AI — and why SaaS will implode - "A stablecoin is a lie. It's an existing monetary system designed to extract from you." - Why Michael Saylor's strategy could actually centralize Bitcoin - The ego death journey: "It was always you” This episode was recorded on the 23th of January. 📊 TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Understanding Bitcoin's Value and Sentiment 08:26 The Paradigm Shift: Free Market vs. Centralized Systems 15:45 The Role of Bitcoin in Modern Finance 23:56 Venture Capitalism in the Bitcoin Ecosystem 28:20 The Future of AI in Venture Capital 35:20 Centralization vs. Decentralization in Bitcoin 40:11 Transitioning to a New Economic System 🔗 FOLLOW JEFF BOOTH: X: https://x.com/JeffBooth Website: https://jeffbooth.ca Book: The Price of Tomorrow 🎙️ LISTEN ON: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4m1NATQndU8yUUe1aRkOTn Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/new-era-finance/id1781211657 📈 OKX PARTNER: Sign up at https://www.okx.com/nl/campaigns/cryptomichnl Create your OKX account via my link to receive up to €100 in Bitcoin and start earning with your OKX card.
