Inflation is robbing you blind and no politician or president, as much as they want your votes, and they tell you they can, they can’t save you. We’ve seen homes, gas, groceries, they’re all getting more expensive. And while many are hoping for prices to come back down, you know, maybe you’ll get another chance to get back in, here’s the bad news. It’s not going to happen. And it’s not because of, you know, who’s in the White House or going in the White House. It’s because of how the entire system is set up and how it works and how we even have the projections to see where all this goes.

But here’s the good news. There’s a simple move that most people miss because your financial advisor is basically holding back. And this simple move could change everything. It could make everything cheaper for you, even as prices keep climbing. So in this video, I’m going to break down why prices they’re not going to drop. I’m going to talk about where they’re going, where I project them to go, the hidden cause of inflation that no one’s seemingly talking about, and the single strategy you could use to make your life more affordable, as even things continue to get more expensive for everybody else.

So let’s go. All right, so the next president is here and they’re going to save us from inflation, right? It was like the number one issue with voting, right? Well, maybe not. As a matter of fact, was inflation all Biden’s fault? Was it the Biden administration’s fault? Or is it a fault of the entire system? Now, Biden did pass something called the Inflation Reduction Act. That was the exact opposite of reducing inflation. In fact, it created a ton of inflation. However, it’s not really the president’s fault. Now, Trump, of course, was running on a campaign to save us from inflation.

And we have a couple of headlines here that talk about both sides of that. So for example, it says here, why Donald Trump’s promise to defeat inflation is harder than it sounds. It’s harder than it sounds, because again, it’s not about who the president is. It’s about the system that we’re in, but it could even actually be worse. So we have headlines right here that say Trump’s economic plans would actually worsen inflation, experts say. And so the problem is, first of all, is understanding the word inflation and then the mechanics of that.

But don’t worry, I’m going to show you how, regardless of what the president does, there’s a way we can save ourselves. All right, I can’t save the system, not right now, but we can save ourselves pretty quickly. So let’s take a look at exactly what’s going on so you can understand the situation. So one of the famous economists, I think it was Rothbard, said it’s the economy’s stupid. And I’m saying, well, it’s the money’s stupid. And so a matter of fact, there’s a couple of things that we have to understand. First of all, they changed the definition of the word inflation in about the 50s.

Ludwig von Mises gave a big talk and he said they’re changing the definition of the word so that they can confuse you and you don’t understand things properly. So if you think about inflating the tire, or inflating a balloon, you would think about increasing the volume of air in that tire or balloon. And so when we talk about inflation, we’re talking about inflating or increasing the volume of money in the economy, not the prices, but we’ll get back to that. So let’s look at a couple indicators, a couple metrics that we need to understand.

So number one, we have the Fed balance sheet. Alright, so this is the Federal Reserve, their balance sheet, what they have, and then the amount of money in the United States with the USM2. And I’ll put both of them on the screen here, we have from about 2002-2003. And you can see the Fed balance sheet sort of like on this trajectory, and then it kind of goes up and up and up. Alright, the blue line is USM2. Alright, now what we can see is that both of them are going up rapidly.

Right here, there was a big abrupt turn in 2008, where the Fed balance sheet really exploded. And we can see again, in 2020, it went up even faster, of course, USM2 went up as well. And so we can see those numbers going up, but it’s not just the US you need to be looking at. Now, of course, the dollar is the reserve currency of the world. And it sort of sets the policies for the rest of the world, but we want to look at it from a global level as well. And so here is global M2.

And what we can see is sort of the same thing. Here around 2008, we can see it went up. And here in 2020, we can see a massive increase in the global money supply. Now, it’s important to understand these two numbers. If we take a look at it, actually, just since 2020, we saw global M2 from 2020 till now, about a four year period, went up by 31.5%. 31.5% increase in the money supply. If we look at the Fed balance sheet, it went up by 67% in the same period over the last four years.

And the US US M2 money went up 40%. So global M2 and US M2 both are up about 36 to 40%, about 40%, let’s call it that. Whereas the Fed balance sheet went up by almost 70%. So there’s a little bit of a range where you’re starting to get the picture of how that works. Now that you understand that the reason why we want to look at both the US and global is, as I said, the US sort of sets the policy for the rest of the world. But we also want to understand something called the Imperial Circle.

Now, part of the Imperial Circle with the money moving around is we want to think about global assets as well. Sure, it moves to different countries. But one of the most global assets there are is technology, specifically around commodities like Bitcoin and AI and things like that. It’s actually part of the 50 year cycle I talk about all the time, which is I call the quantum wave cycle. Now, if you want to know about the quantum wave cycle, I break it down, I’m gonna do a whole presentation on this next week, it’s free to come join.

It’s about an hour, I’m going to go through all the charts, all the graphs and all the assets that I like. If you’d like to come hang out with me live, as I go through all that, ask me questions, things like that, I’m going to put a link down below. But otherwise, let’s go ahead and just keep going with what the symptoms and the cause of this are back to the change of definition of the word inflation. So when the money supply goes up, the symptoms of that are the effects of that are then prices of everything else starts to go up.

So let’s take a look at a couple things. So let’s look at median homes. So a lot of people are thinking that homes are going to crash. I’ve been pretty vocal about this. I did this big seminar about a week ago, and a lot of people were saying, I want to wait to buy a home until prices come back down. But why? Why would they come back down? Well, first of all, let’s understand why they went up. So remember, the money supply into USM to global into Fed balance sheet went up about 40 to 60%.

And how much did homes go up in the exact same period in the last four years from January 1 2020 through December 31 of 2024 home prices, the US median the national average home price went up by 52.6% money supply went up by 5060% homes went up 50%. Make sense? Now this is the median I like to make a point that there is no such thing as the real estate market. There’s 1000s of markets broken down by size type location things like that, even a city like Miami could see like condos dropping because they were overbuilt while homes are going up at the same time.

But the median is going up about the same rate. So if you’re waiting for home prices to come down, you might be waiting for the money supply to come back down. But we’ll get that in a second. All right, we can also look at the price of all types of consumer prices about the same. So eggs, 71% increase milk, 15% increase beef, about 20% cheese, 30% wheat, 30% gasoline, 35%. So consumer prices went up more or less around the 40 or 50% some a little bit less, some a little bit more.

It just depends because there’s supply and demand that go into that. But you start to understand the situation a little bit better. And it wasn’t just consumer prices, which obviously affects us. So it’s it’s also asset prices going up. And if you’re not buying assets, you’re falling further behind. Gold went up about 71% as the money supply expanded, about 60%. Crude oil went up about 23%. When the price of oil goes up, the price of everything goes up. The S&P 500 went up about 79%. Very similar to gold 70 79%. The NASDAQ went up 112%.

All right, so we can see that as that money supply is expanding, the cost of all types of things from eggs and cheese and milk to homes and gold and S&P 500 all wind up as well, albeit at a little bit of different rates. Now, if you want to know why I think home prices are going up and not down, why I’ve been actually vocal put it out here again, I think that home prices are up another 50% in five years from now, not down. Now, could there be a dip? And could part of Miami go down? Well, part of Miami goes up, certainly.

But as a national median, I believe it’ll be up about 50% in five years. And so will all those other prices have shown you, why do I say that? And maybe with a lot of confidence? Well, because the government tells us so. So here is the United States government, the CBO Congressional Budget Office, and they project out where things would be over the next five years, 10 years, and even the next 30 years. Now, again, this isn’t the world, this is the United States, but understanding the US sort of sets policy for the rest of the world.

It’s a good way to look at this. So what we can see, here’s a dotted line of where we are today. This is 2035. This is just the next decade alone. And what they’re projecting is the deficit, the amount of debt we take on every year to spend more than we bring in is expected to continue to go up. The amount of debt that we add because of the deficit spending, this dotted line is where we’re at is projected to go up. And as a matter of fact, it’s projected to go up at a faster rate than what it has been going up.

So if we’re up about 50% in the last four years, we’re probably up another 50% in the next four to five years. And if we’re up another 50%, as the government projects, that pushes the prices of things back up. That’s why I think that happens. Now, we can get deeper into the CBO charts, but we’ll save that for another video. They give us all types of numbers, including they just revised some numbers with population going down, which means less workers. That means GDP goes down. And that means we need more debt.

We can get into that if you want a whole video on that, drop that down below. But here’s the problem with this. Okay. So the escape plan, so we can see that the money supply is going to continue to expand. We know that the cost of milk and cheese and eggs homes, everything’s going to continue to go up. So you don’t have another chance to get in, it’s only going to continue to pass you by. So what do we do? Well, the escape plan is that your financial advisor and Wall Street are saying, just take part of your paycheck every week and put it into your index fund or 401k or mutual fund.

But here’s the problem with that. So if we put things into index funds, we can see that, well, let’s just recap this here real quick. So we can see that the Federal Reserve balance sheet is going up by about 16.7% per year over the last four years. So it’s averaging a 16% growth rate. The US money supply is going up about 10% a year. And the global money supply is going up by about 8% a year. So if, as I’ve shown you, if the expansion of the money supply creates the increase of prices, as I’ve shown you, then if we continue that as a CBO projects, if we continue this trajectory of 16.7%, that means that my money has to make me more than 16.7% in order for me to get ahead.

So there’s keeping up. If I earn 5%, I’m not eating ahead, I’m losing about half. If I earn 10%, I’m almost kind of keeping on par. If I want to get ahead, I need to be making 17% or more. Okay, but here’s the problem with that. If we look at all the asset classes, we can see that only two Bitcoin here and NASDAQ have been able to beat that. The NASDAQ is 17.4%. Just barely keeping up. Bitcoin is at 144%. Everything else is below the S&P 500 and gold and commodities and everything else is below.

We can see that when we put the S&P 500 over the money supply, they move almost perfectly in lockstep. So homes and S&P 500 are almost like perfect proxies for the amount of money going up. So we’re not really getting ahead. We’re not getting anywhere doing that. As a matter of fact, if we look at the S&P 500, and we adjust it for the money supply, we can see that since the year 2000, the S&P is actually down by 20% when you adjust it for the increase of the money supply during that same time period, which is why you see your stock account going up, up, up on paper.

It looks like you’re getting rich, but you don’t feel more rich. You feel that the cost of living is going down. Then on top of that, if you’re putting money into mutual funds and things like that, you’re falling even further behind because the fees are eating you alive. And we can see that most funds are failing to meet their benchmarks. As a matter of fact, through 2023, 2024, they’re about 80 to 90% underperforming. So they’re not even performing with the market, as I’ve shown you, they’re underperforming by 80 to 90%. And on top of that, you have to pay all the fees.

So you’re falling even further and further behind. And so it’s creating what I call the investing black hole. So there’s really only two assets that are beating that number. And again, that’s NASDAQ and Bitcoin. But the problem is, when you look at it this way, you can see that if I price the NASDAQ, not in US dollars, but I price it in Bitcoin, we can see the NASDAQ is also down 99%. So what are we going to do about that seems like a big problem. And it kind of is the good news is it’s pretty easy for us to do this, as I’ve already shown you the assets that we can do, but then it takes something different.

This may be not as easy, but it’s possible for everybody. So the first thing is, you’re on your own, like no one’s coming to save you. So if you if you want the easy way, and you want to give your money to somebody, some fund manager, some Wall Street guy, then you’re going to continue to underperform the market. So I would recommend that you take a little bit of time effort energy, and spend a little bit of time to learn about how you can manage your own money. Okay, number one, number number one, number two, again, the black hole.

Now the black hole is basically only NASDAQ and Bitcoin are beating it because the reason why is because of this fifth, this 50 year cycle that’s been repeating and talking about this all the time. It’s the sixth time we’ve seen this cycle repeat. And basically, the only place to make money is during this cycle is in the specific cycle. Alright, and this right now is this tech cycle that we’re in, which is why the black hole is NASDAQ and Bitcoin. I break this all down, I call it the quantum wave leap.

All right. And then what we want to do is we want to change our mindset. Alright, so while the world is getting more expensive for everybody else, the world could actually get cheaper for us, if we shift our mind and have a different unit of account. So for example, here’s a chart I used a talk I gave recently over in Abu Dhabi. And if we look at the price of the typical house, as I already showed you, it’s going higher and higher and higher. As a matter of fact, in 2016, the US median home was about 260,000 today, it’s about 400,000.

In 2016, it was like 600 Bitcoin and today it’s like three Bitcoin or four Bitcoin. So we can see in US dollars homes are getting more expensive, but in Bitcoin homes are getting cheaper and cheaper and cheaper. If we look at other assets or goods like this, we can see that agriculture, eggs, cheese, beef, soybeans, wheat, lumber, and milk over a five year period have all fallen over 90% when they’re priced in Bitcoin. So when I priced everything in US dollars homes and gold and oil and cheesy cheese, milk, all that is getting more expensive.

But if I change the unit of account homes, gold, NASDAQ, and all these goods are getting cheaper and cheaper and cheaper. So all I have to do is change my mindset and change the unit of account the way I measure things. If you want the whole talk on this, I just put up on my website, the whole talk from Abu Dhabi is on there. But if you want to know more about this quantum wave leap, and the different assets that we can buy within that, I’m going to do a whole presentation on that next week, you can come hang out with me.

It’s all for free. I’m going to show you all the different charts, all the different assets that I like in this cycle. If you really want to change your unit of account, the quantum wave leap, I’ll put a link down below. Like I said, it’s free. Come hang out. We’ll go through Q&A. We’ll talk about how we can implement all this. But look, if you’re looking for a president to save you, it ain’t going to happen. All right. The only way is you can save yourself and it’s very easy to do. You have to buy the right assets and change our mindset to change our unit of measure, our unit of account.

Does that make sense? If you want the whole talk, go ahead and watch that video right here. Otherwise, leave me a comment. Let me know what you think. And that’s what I got. All right, to your success. I’m out. [tr:trw].
