AI, Bitcoin & The Rigged Economy | Tom Bilyeu

Tom Bilyeu joins me to discuss why the economy feels broken, why the working and middle class are being crushed, and why debt and money printing sit at the centre of so many of the problems people are living through. Tom argues that every empire eventually faces the same test: whether it can hold the power of the money printer without destroying itself. We talk about inflation, broken political incentives, the debt cycle, populism, why people feel the economic pie shrinking, and why politics seems incapable of fixing the problem. We also get into AI and why Tom believes we are in a race between artificial intelligence creating abundance and the West driving off a fiscal cliff. I talk through my own recent AI moment, building a system in seven days that would once have taken a full team and hundreds of thousands of pounds, and we discuss what that means for jobs, entrepreneurs and the future of work. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - The Economy Is Rigged 01:09 - Are We Driving Off a Fiscal Cliff? 03:04 - Debt, Money Printing and Inflation 04:36 - The Final Boss of Economics 07:02 - America’s Founding and Wealth Extraction 10:19 - Can America Be Saved? 11:46 - Economics Has Physics 16:06 - Debt, Cancellation and Freedom 19:03 - The Thucydides Trap 21:42 - Politics Has Not Been Disrupted 25:15 - Populism and the Shrinking Pie 29:07 - Asset Inflation Is Vile 35:59 - UK Politics Is Breaking Down 40:36 - Is Sweden Really Socialist? 42:40 - Where Is the Hope? 50:16 - Tom’s View on Bitcoin 53:17 - Peter’s AI Eureka Moment 57:56 - How AI Changed Tom’s Business 1:03:02 - The Four Futures of AI 1:12:56 - Is Reality a Simulation? 1:24:34 - Tom’s Final Warning - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - CONTACT PETE › Website – http://petermccormack.com › Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact › Email – [email protected] › Instagram – /mccormack555 › X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/ CONNECT WITH TOM BILYEU › Twitter – https://x.com/TomBilyeu › YouTube –    / tombilyeu   SPONSORS › IREN - https://www.iren.com/ › LEDN - https://www.ledn.io/peter - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE › Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K › Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu › Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM › YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM › Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePM FILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR › https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/ › https://x.com/curttayloruk/ EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK › https://x.com/ConorM04 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #tombilyeu #ai #bitcoin #economy #petermccormack #tpms
