OnlyLands Ep. 53: Bitcoin Beef, Gilded Age 2.0 & Caleb's Origin Story
Description
The crew is fully assembled this week, plus a guest appearance from Caleb, who kicks things off by casually mentioning he served legal papers to an unstable stalker at a GOP event for fifty bucks. Just a normal Thursday in Colorado. From there, the conversation takes a sharp turn into wealth, power, and money systems as the gang unpacks whether we are living through a Second Gilded Age, what Bitcoin actually is versus what people think it is, and whether Satoshi Nakamoto could be an intelligence agency. The Federal Reserve takes its usual beating. Meanwhile, a lengthy detour through Thailand's gold culture accidentally becomes one of the more interesting segments in recent memory. Caleb also gets brainstormed into potentially starting his own show, and the quartering gets publicly embarrassed by the entire internet. A chaotic, surprisingly substantive episode that proves the best conversations happen when nobody has an agenda.
