Bruce - PLEASE let the guests talk!

Is there one specific episode you have in mind... that I didn't let the guest speak enough?

I was just listening to #16 this morning -- at the half way mark I thought: I don't know anything about this guest!

If it's an interview, I would think the majority of what you say should be questions of the guest.

Get yourself a copy of this - it really is superb:

Kudos on taking this as kindly input -- you have my respect for that.

OT: If no one else has suggested it, you need to get Nefario on.

I'm listening. I really am. I just now went to Episode 16 and listened to it.

The very first things I said at the very opening of the show.... were all introducing Patrick Timpone to the audience. I pretty much told the audience everything I know about him (aside from his personal life

)... Did you miss that part?

He is a very popular radio personality. He co-hosts The Real World of Money with Andy Gause. They have an enormous audience. They are moving that show to OnlyOneTV. Every Wednesday at 10am ET.

That book must be good! $60 or $40 in used paperback form!

I'm not sure I'd have time to read a massive book like that... but I will try to get my hands on a copy.

I noticed that it's written by NPR reporters.

Reporters from NPR were in my office all morning, and here for the show taping, the day before yesterday. I sure hope the end result is better than the impressions I got...

...is all I'll say.

Who's Nefario? The name sounds familiar.

Bruce,

you were ON baby with the Timpone interview. you finally hit all the major rebuttal points that i've wanted you to broadcast to the world about the Fed, gold, inflation, and bitcoin.

one thing i'd like to emphasize is that you seem to imply that the price of btc will keep on rising forever while the price of everything else will fall in relation to btc. while i agree that btc still has a long way to rise, i think its important for people to understand that at some price it will level out and become a stable, constant, currency that doesn't whipsaw up and down like it is now in its infancy.

the reason this point is important is that if it did keep rising forever, number one it would crush the value of everyones other investments (homes, stocks, commodities, whatever) and this scares people. we don't want to scare people. Number two, if BTC is to ever become a currency we all WANT its value to stabilize at some point b/c only then could businesses rely on it to perform basic business functions w/o worrying about volatility in their money. WE just want it to stabilize somewhere North of $10,000 Cheesy

right now this is exactly the problem with the USD. while the overall value trend has been down over the last 100 yrs, most negatively it whipsaws up and down in the short term causing boom bust cycles with many businesses reduced to becoming currency speculators.

overall, great show and i watch it everyday!
