## Resource

Has the world order actually broken down? In this episode, I sit down with Parker Lewis to break down Ray Dalio's warning that the global order is collapsing. Parker explains why Dalio is right that things are breaking down, but completely misses the root cause, the currency system. We get into why the weaponisation of the dollar, from cutting Russia off SWIFT to endless money printing, is what's actually driving the world towards chaos and why Bitcoin is insanely undervalued at $67k. Parker also makes the case that if Bitcoin doesn't eventually become a medium of exchange, something has gone very wrong. We explore: • The 5 types of war (and why we are already fighting 4 of them) • What Ray Dalio missed: The true cause of the global economic collapse • Monetary warfare: The exact moment the world lost faith in the US dollar. • Why neutral money is the ultimate defense against global disorder • The fatal flaw of gold THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS: ANCHORWATCH BLOCKWARE LEDN BITKEY SWAN CAPE CLUB ORANGE FOLLOW: Danny Knowles: https://x.com/_DannyKnowles or https://primal.net/danny Parker Lewis: https://x.com/parkeralewis
