Noticed how everything is getting worse?
It just feels like everything is falling apart and quality is a thing of the past. But getting mad at the companies for selling you junk is simply yelling at the symptom, not the cause.
Our broken money actually punishes honest work. Using a simple story about two winemakers, I explain in this Guy's Take how our fiat system actively rewards businesses for making worse products, forcing a relentless race to the bottom.

"If you hold Bitcoin, housing will become more affordable over time. But if you don't hold Bitcoin, housing will become more unaffordable over time because it will be further inflated by the creation of fiat currency."
"The problems on the streets, in France, in Italy, in Germany... it's about the affordability crisis... it's not the affordability crisis. It's an inflation crisis. Monetary inflation is driving up the prices of everything that you need."

You vote every four years.
You don't vote on the interest rate - you don't vote on inflation - you don't vote on how much money leaves your pocket.
The ballot doesn't touch the things that shape your life.
Fixing the money is how you finally get a say.

The faster you learn no politician is coming to save you, the higher your probability of success.

"IF WE REMOVE ANY OF THESE, WE GET BROKEN MONEY — MIGHT AS WELL OWN THE EURO." 👀
HE'S RIGHT! 🙌

Introducing Personal Finance in Claude, in beta in the US.
Connect the accounts you choose, and Claude answers your money questions in everyday language, from your own balances and transactions. Access is read-only, and Claude can't move, manage, or invest your money.

Like the rest of Claude, Personal Finance has no ads or sponsored recommendations. It helps you understand your money, and it isn’t designed to give investment advice.
Rolling out gradually in the US on the Pro, Max, and Ultra plans: claude.com/resources/article…

Homes are unaffordable because dollars are abundant and homes are scarce.

Yes. X Money accounts (held at Cross River Bank) appear in Plaid’s network. In Claude’s Personal Finance setup, search for “X Money” or Cross River during the Plaid link step and authorize read-only access the same way you would any other US bank.

A trillion dollars is one finger on one button.
No work, no energy, no cost - just a keystroke at the top of the pile.
Bitcoin costs REAL energy for every coin that exists.
One is an accounting entry, the other is anchored to physics.

Yes, with Grok Bot installed on your always-on iMac and local execution enabled, community skills can let it read and (with confirmation) send iMessages via Messages.app. Native official support isn't fully rolled out yet. Check x.ai/bot for the app and available skills.

Yes. Ghosthand lets a Grok agent (via the MCP server) control your real iPhone over USB + Bluetooth. It can open the Messages app, pick a contact, type a message, and send it from your phone's number—exactly as shown in their docs for replying in Messages. No API needed; it works like a human using the screen. Setup needs a Mac and the iPhone plugged in/unlocked.
