The Big Print Series: Bitcoin, Decentralization & the End of Centralized Power | Episode 10 of 12
Welcome back to The Big Print Series! In Episode 10, we shift focus from macro numbers to the philosophical—and structural—core of the new world: decentralization. From ancient revolutions to Bitcoin, this episode traces the long arc of human resistance to centralized power—and shows why the next leap is not just technical, but evolutionary. Larry Lepard joins to explore how decentralization isn’t just a feature of Bitcoin—it’s its very soul. In this episode:• Why decentralization leads to fairness—and why mammals instinctively hate unfair systems• The Swiss model: what a working micro-democracy actually looks like• How technology (Internet, microprocessors, Bitcoin) became the great equalizer• From serfdom to 50% tax rates: how modern governments make medieval lords look generous• Gunpowder, printing presses, and Bitcoin: unstoppable ideas that rewrite history• Metcalfe’s Law and why Bitcoin’s network effects are just beginning• The fallacy of financial speculation vs. real productivity• Why leverage kills—and why Bitcoin doesn't need it to win 🔐 “Bitcoin isn’t just money. It’s math. It’s justice. It’s what comes after tyranny.” —Matty Ice  📜 POWERFUL QUOTES:• “Use honest weights and measures”—a biblical principle ignored by every fiat regime• “History doesn’t repeat, but it often rhymes”—Mark Twain• “The Federal Reserve is running an organization that can’t do what it says it’s going to do. It’s doomed to the dustbin of history.” —Lawrence Lepard 📊 STUNNING INSIGHTS:• Fiat’s final form: governments powerful enough for global war are collapsing under their own weight• Acceptability is Bitcoin’s last mile—but just like AOL in 1998, that’s only temporary• The Lightning Network, decentralized identity, and better UX: the world is building around freedom 🧠 “If you're beginning to get the notion that these people do not know what they are doing—you are not alone.” 💥 THE DECENTRALIZED FUTURE: Centralized systems concentrate power... and rot Decentralized networks—Bitcoin, open source, federated governance—are antifragile Bitcoin will be remembered as the monetary revolution of the 21st century 📚 ABOUT THE BIG PRINT: Based on Larry Lepard’s book The Big Print, this 12-part series exposes how financial elites engineered the greatest heist in history—and how Bitcoin is the way out. With over 25,000 copies sold, the message is spreading fast: “We can't save everyone, but we must try.” Get the book now 👉 https://t.co/14ukZW04I8 Subscribe and stay tuned for the final chapters.

This is how we win." —Lawrence Lepard 🎯 HIGHLIGHT THEMES: From garage startups to decentralized revolutionsReal estate as dead weight in a mobile worldFiat incentives hollowing out generational wealthWhy Bitcoin is digital gold—but betterMillennials choosing sovereignty over square footage 📚 ABOUT THE BIG PRINT: Based on Larry Lepard’s pivotal book, this 12-part series reveals how the global economy was rigged by central banks—and how Bitcoin is creating an off-ramp for those who see what’s coming.

The Big Print Series: "Bitcoin is God's Gift to Humanity" | Episode 8 of 12
Welcome back to The Big Print Series! In this mind-blowing Episode 8, Lawrence Lepard delivers his most profound revelation yet: Bitcoin isn't just an investment—it's literally a "God-given tool" to save humanity from monetary tyranny. For the first time in human history, we have perfect, immutable digital scarcity that can never be diluted.In this episode:• Why Bitcoin is a "once-in-humanity" event that will never happen again • The deflation "boogeyman": How Keynesians weaponized the Great Depression to serve elites • Warren Buffett exposed: Why he really hates Bitcoin (it makes his life's work meaningless) • The inverse Cantillon effect: How deflation actually helps workers, not hurts them • Third-world Bitcoin heroes: Afghan programmer saves $250K fleeing Taliban • How Bitcoin will defund wars and end government financial oppression • The mathematical proof: Bitcoin's perfectly inelastic supply curve breaks all economic models Larry reveals the stunning truth: every form of money in human history has been diluted—gold grows 1.7% annually, doubling every 60 years. Bitcoin is the first and only asset with absolute scarcity. Even Einstein and Krugman got revolutionary technologies completely wrong. 💰 "Bitcoin is kind of God-given in my view. God looked down and said, 'You guys are really screwed up. You got a broken system. You're never gonna be able to fix it unless I give you a tool. Here's the tool.'" —Lawrence Lepard 🔥 THE SCARCITY REVOLUTION:Every money in history has been dilutedGold supply doubles every 60 yearsBitcoin: 21 million coins, never moreFirst perfectly inelastic supply curve in human historyPrice can theoretically become infinite 📊 DEFLATION TRUTH REVEALED: 90% of deflation periods had NO depression Great Depression was the outlier, not the norm19th century: Gold standard + deflation = massive prosperityTechnology naturally creates deflation (phones, TVs, computers)Keynesians fear deflation because it threatens their power🌍 GLOBAL BITCOIN LIBERATION:35% of Nigerians use Bitcoin despite government bans Chinese hash rate higher AFTER mining banAfghan woman protects $250K fleeing Taliban with seed phrasesHalf the world lives under monetary oppressionBitcoin adoption accelerating faster than internet📚 ABOUT THE BIG PRINT: Based on Lawrence Lepard's groundbreaking book "The Big Print," this 12-part series exposes how the Federal Reserve and financial elites have engineered the greatest wealth extraction in human history.

The Big Print Series: The Sovereign Currency Bubble and the Coming Reset | Episode 7 of 12
Welcome back to The Big Print Series! In this explosive Episode 7, Lawrence Lepard delivers his most urgent warning yet: we've reached the highest level of financial bubbles—the sovereign currency itself. Unlike dot-com or housing bubbles that can be "bailed out," when a currency bubble bursts, there's nowhere left to run. In this episode: • Silicon Valley Bank's collapse: How $42 trillion vanished in one day—a preview of currency failure• Why yield curve control is coming and what it means for your savings• The debt spiral trap: Interest payments now exceed military spending• Gresham's Law in action: Why people will abandon the dollar for gold and Bitcoin• The Fed's $6.7 trillion balance sheet vs. the $36 trillion bond market—the math is terrifying• Hyperinflation vs. monetary reset: Two paths, same destination• Why "one who panics first, panics best" in currency crises Larry reveals the shocking timeline: using the Fourth Turning model, resolution will likely manifest between 2028-2033. But in our hyper-connected world, confidence can evaporate overnight. The tinder has been lit—the fire could spread faster than anyone expects. 💰 "When you're dealing with the sovereign currency, it's not like there's a galactic bubble we can build on Mars. We are at the highest level—and when this bubble bursts, the currency is at risk." —Lawrence Lepard 🔥 THE BUBBLE HIERARCHY EXPOSED:- Tech bubble → Housing bubble → Currency bubble- Each bailout created a bigger problem- There's no level above sovereign currency- When this breaks, everything changes 📊 ALARMING STATISTICS:- US debt: $36 trillion (added $11T in just 4 years)- Interest payments: $1.2 trillion/year- Debt-to-GDP: 124% (crisis typically hits at 130%)- Average fiat currency lifespan: 27-43 years- We're 53 years into this experiment 📚 ABOUT THE BIG PRINT: Based on Lawrence Lepard's groundbreaking book "The Big Print," this 12-part series exposes how the Federal Reserve and financial elites have engineered the greatest wealth extraction in human history.

The Big Print Series: How Govt Has Been Stealing 98.5% of Your Money Since 1971 | Episode 2 of 12
They've been robbing you blind for over 50 years, and most people don't even realize it's happening. In this explosive Episode 2 of The Big Print series, Harvard-educated venture capitalist Lawrence Lepard exposes the greatest wealth transfer in human history with host Matty Ice. Since Nixon took America off the gold standard in 1971, the top 1% have seized control of 92% of America's wealth while the bottom 50% have been treading water for three decades. 🔥 SHOCKING REVELATIONS IN THIS EPISODE:• Your dollar has lost 98.5% of its purchasing power since 1971• The government changed inflation calculations in the 1980s to steal from Social Security recipients• Detroit went from America's richest county to economic wasteland due to monetary policy• Milton Friedman's warning: "Inflation is always a monetary phenomenon" • How deaths of despair exploded alongside wealth inequality• Why this isn't capitalism failing - it's crony capitalism working exactly as designed Lawrence Lepard, who famously confronted Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and other financial elites at Harvard, breaks down the mathematical theft disguised as economic policy. Every grocery bill that shocks you, every paycheck that buys less, every dream of homeownership slipping away - it's all connected to this systematic extraction of your wealth. "The game is not fair when you give certain people a big monetary advantage. That's what inflation does," Lepard explains, showing how the Federal Reserve's money printing has been the ultimate wealth transfer mechanism from working Americans to financial elites. This isn't just financial education - it's financial self-defense in an age of monetary warfare. ⏰ TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Introduction: The Hidden Tax05:30 - Milton Friedman on Inflation12:15 - The Wealth Inequality Explosion18:45 - How They Cook the Inflation Numbers25:20 - Detroit's Economic Collapse31:10 - Deaths of Despair and Monetary Policy37:40 - Classical Economics vs Keynesian Destruction45:15 - Why Savings Matter More Than Ever 📚 ABOUT THE BIG PRINT:Based on Lawrence Lepard's groundbreaking book "The Big Print," this 12-part series exposes how the Federal Reserve and financial elites have engineered the greatest wealth extraction in human history.

The Daylight Robbery Series: How Governments Silently Rob You | Episode 10 of 13
In this eye-opening episode of The Daylight Robbery Series, Dominic Frisby reveals the most insidious forms of taxation that operate in plain sight - debt and inflation - and how they're silently draining your wealth without you even noticing. Herbert Hoover warned: "Blessed are the young for they shall inherit the national debt." Discover the shocking truth about how our financial system is designed to hide the most devastating forms of wealth confiscation: - Why national debt is truly "taxation without representation" (Britain only finished paying WWI debts in 2015!)- How US debt doubled under each recent presidency and why the deficit reduction isn't what it seems- The disturbing connection between fiat currency and declining birth rates, mass immigration, and housing crises- Why government inflation metrics are fundamentally dishonest by excluding real estate and financial assets- How housing prices remained stable for 650 years (1290-1940) but exploded 42,000% since 1940- The truth about "Cantillionaires" - who really benefits from money printing and why it's not you As Keynes warned, "There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency." Learn why Bitcoin has become such a powerful educational tool in exposing the truth about our monetary system. Understand why house prices have skyrocketed while wages stagnate, forcing two-income households and creating the "renter generation." This isn't by accident - it's the direct result of monetary policy that transfers wealth upward. 📚 Go deeper with your own copy of "Daylight Robbery": 📘 Daylight Robbery by Dominic Frisby → https://a.co/d/aU1iCks 👥 Connect with us:LinkTree: https://t.co/GR12eKn4NyX (formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/protocolpulseHQDiscord: https://discord.gg/JvURFuxs9kRumble: https://rumble.com/user/ProtocolPulseInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/protocolpulse/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@protocolpulse
