Because its too confusing and same thing with certainly the democrats i mean the republicans have a reputation as knowing a little more about money than the democrats but the democrats are always very confusing and so Bernie Sanders is just out of a tradition hes talking about socialism which again is a its a its a model based on it in comprehensible. Non existant theory about money you know this is obviously a theme over and over on kaiser report of the role of Central Banks in sowing. Chaos and discord that the democrats and their media keep on blaming on other nations so that cantillon effect which allows you know the printing of money that inflates asset prices like stock prices like bond prices like. Real estate prices especially at those the closer you are to the money printers and theres no bigger money printer than the new york fed so if you live near the new york fed your properties going to be expanding paris london all the big cities across the world hong kong maybe hong kong as might be falling apart now but that money printing is what is causing that sense of injustice of an in there thinking its an economic injustice when in fact its and a monetary and justice that is happening so i want to turn to this other thread that kind of went viral and you know its one guys take on some data that was released recently from the government so you know its one take but were going to look at this take because i think it brings up some good points its a tweet stream from oring cass hes the executive director of American Compass whos stated mission is to restore an economic consensus that emphasizes the importance of Family Community and industry to the nations liberty and prosperity so there is that heres this 1st tweet im going to read some of them of this 16 thread tweet how is it that our Economic Statistics suggest workers have been making slow but steady progress in recent decades while popular perception is that their Family Finances are coming under increasingly untenable pressure ive been working on this and here is my answer punchline popular perception is correct in 1985 the typical male worker could cover a family of 4 as major expenditures Housing Health care transportation education on 30 weeks of salary by 2018 it took 53 weeks which is a problem as there are only 52 weeks in the year so i mean you can see from the chart here housing is memorising but mostly Health InsuranceHealth Insurance is a big component of this added cost and transportation and college is another big deal. Cost people talk about infrastructure and we think about infrastructure think about roads and bridges and tunnels but theres also the financial infrastructure and the financial infrastructure in america and much of the world is 18th century its a model that has not worked for more than 150 years and this can tell an effect is the result of faulty money infrastructure where the money is printed in d. C. And is stopped simultaneously and pervasively distributed equitably throughout the economy it goes to bunch of intermediaries the primary banks the primary dealers on wall street except aurora and every time it goes through these layers it loses its potency and by the time the average person gets it theyre now paying 30 percent more for Health Insurance than they were the year before and thats a problem of distribution now in the block chain model youve got thousands of computers globally that are updated simultaneously that is an Infrastructure Improvement to the way money is just created and distributed big coin being the best of the best but in the u. S. And around the world theyre still using this antiquated infrastructure that is like using plumbing or some other infrastructure from 150 years ago its obviously out of date but it serves the interests of a few folks well and they hold the keys to power and now we have this all feel system and its a command and control they call it capitalism but it is a form of command and control whereby the federal open Market Committee this committee of you know academics who on paper they try to organize and manage micro manage the economy so that this guy or in cas hes asking like how is this so wrong how are the media and political and financial elite how are they seeing the how it is for the rest kaname for the rest of the workers like how do they. How did the disconnect happen and obviously there is the issue of inflation because of course inflation has been very low they say theres always low inflation. So they do all those adjustments and have donek adjustments some people say its all a conspiracy but in a way its also just them in an ivory tower not understanding the world around them for example or in cast says our inflation adjusted data says that car prices have not increased since the mid 1990 s. Obviously thats not remotely true what economists are saying is that cars have gotten better so the higher Sticker Price doesnt reflect inflation reflects Higher Quality again fair enough but we have to recognize that the median family must now pay for Health Insurance and will not use the cure last 20 years the typical Family Health care consumption has gone up by 2000 but their premium has gone up by 13000 no wonder they feel worse off you know in terms of this all the donek adjustment that goes on between you know from cars to health care to you know university costs you still need a car to get to work in most places in america. It still costs you more money but because its better theyre saying that you got more for at this this computer packs a whole bunch more power than it did 10 years ago and so they they they deduced that they deduct that from the inflation and the same thing with health care but its actually really eating into the cost but all the elite immediately its the corporate elites all those people who who are the 1st in on the console in a factory where they get the free money they dont feel this inflation to the same extent that everybody elses so again just like just like at the bottom people come up with conspiracy theories about Inflation Numbers at the top theyre doing the same thing theyre coming up with conspiracy theories of like why are the ordinary people so upset with everything that must be some sort of mind control via a means like that because the economy is doing great we know this because look at the data look at the look at the Inflation Numbers is all great right in fact theyre experiencing deflation because the council in effect means that the assets that are being bought lets say property in new york city as collateral goes up at a greater pace than even the money printing so if youre borrowing against your asset that was inflated due to money printing to buy food at the store youll notice that in fact the spend at the store is less relative to the appreciation of your assets so youre thinking well lifes great i guess everythings cheaper for me but in terms of these adamic adjustments i mean this represents a centrally an opt in moat so theres a moat around the castle where the money printers live and they protect that moat through obtuse cation theyre saying that the computer is actually not this value its a different value of believe the word the greeks came up with would be solid cism misuse of language utterly and completely to confuse and distort Larry Summers is a brilliant orator and writer when he appears in the Financial Times he writes perfect jibberish but in a way that eh. Very academic motherhood due to flee like jim is larry but at the end of the day hes just protecting his moat was obvious cation well speaking of moat throughout. That last tweet of orrin casss that i read you know where costs that the health care consumption so actually how much health care you use in real life the average american over the last 20 years went from it has gone up by 2000 as it your cost went up from basically to spend 700 you spend 2122 in 1909 thats what the average american spent 2122 in Real Health Care costs now is 4380 average american actually consumes 4380. How much for your call actual premiums how much you pay the fire sector the you know finance insurance and real estate how much you pay to wall street for that well the average american in premiums pays 18764 you can see that gap you can see how that huge gap max this is the injustice happening this is the cantillon effect this is them getting all the money this is what people are upset about they could try to pretend that its some meaning that has undermined the faith. In institutions like the Federal Reserve like the treasury like the congress but that right there shows you that youre spending a whole lot more for not much more well lets return to the subject of financial illiteracy the democrats and Bernie Sanders so your chart very graphically demonstrates that the cost of health care from a year would be approximately 4000. 00 and yet im being charged 18000. 00 so theres 814000 spread that a subsidy government is allowing going to Health Insurance executives theyre getting a 14000. 00 per household subsidy if our Bernie Sanders i would show that chart on the screen and say elect me president and everyone who is a victim of this scam gets a 14000. 00 charitable donation against their taxes right because its a im making a charitable donation to the Insurance Company executives of about 14000. 00 a year i should get a tax write off i mean ok im willing to take that tax write off i need it in this in a high tax environment thats the argument Bernie Sanders would make it was shut bloomberg down immediately because not even bloomberg is financially illiterate to that level well. We have to take a break and when we come back much more coming your way so dont go away. Point iraqis now they live should we have that had a much better 17 years could we could have had a much more prosperous iraq a stable iraq yes as their. Mistakes happen absolutely. Made things better by far they could have done they should have made it better but that does not take away from the fact that they have stood up to around the dictator who was bloodthirsty and he participated in the murder and killing of hundreds of thousands of iraqis and millions of more of the around then the invasion of kuwait and so on. Hes now gone for it do 50. 0 nice a good number of the 41 when you have no kids who didnt complete new momentum and dont going to. See you did all the good that you did done episode of all through singapore the almost impossible. All scripts in the book of the flick are younger than him all day long. And the results are i dont want to put you all that he would have loved and that is not enough to fight the titan is a. Message that motivates you all to see the overseeing your son some of it to get up the off also go to show some. Locals to the world put him into his new School Mission a little musical with the most from you. Is the new. Model for you bill for me for the supernatural mean or ghost. Welcome back to the kaiser report imax keyser lets now turn to alex legal of layer one this is are going to be about Mining Mining as a huge part of the bitcoin ecosystem welcome to the show alex thank you very much for having me all right and so you have just raised your company have just raised 50000000. 00 from billionaire investor peter teal for a layer one what is it youre doing in taxes alex bunch of Different Things but effectively the approach the layer one takes is that of vertical integration. Which means that we have full control over every cost and profit lever in the because of my mix stack so that covers everything from. Factoring our own custom chips we build our own cooling and mining interests truck sure that is very scalable d and modular and plug and play and we have our own our procurement and development which means that we basically get the cheapest possible electricity at scale in the world and vertically integrated all of the different aspects of the big coin my mixed allow us to become the most efficient Equipment Company in the world so i read somewhere that the goal is to capture 25 percent of global big going mining right now youve got approximately 50 percent in china and so is that correct is that a goalie trying to capture maybe 25 percent of the global big mining market alex yeah absolutely i mean we would be doing this if we wouldnt have very Ambitious Goals and i think the distribution is even more skewed towards china so the numbers that we or over 60 percent. You and he kind of makes sense because they coined a sick start in 2013 and china is a very manufacturing driven economy whereas the United States is kind of a mass they did sell into a software and a nationalization based economy and for that reason because the last 7 or 8 years and a big claim i mean history were all about do i have the facts its chepstow i have the most. Cutting edge Mining Machines in the fast as amount of time well if they mainly get produced d in china which they did and you had very Successful Companies like that main or cannot get so forth come out. Well then the pass at least resistance would lead miners to locate in china where they could always d source the most efficient mining of hardware. Faster than anybody else and also install them faster than anybody else but now because provably Development Cycles have been extended for that much longer and every 6 months a new generation of chips coming out it will now be a multiyear effort and Business Cycle the engine a longer lives and do i have the fastest ships in the fastest amount of time thats relatively commodity at this point what truly matters is your operational expenses and those are trying merrily a function to see pricing hence your electricity pricing and the ability to take advantage of it efficiently if youre cooling is what matters most and we believe and factually at this point we know that the cheapest electricity in the well that scale is west. And for that reason. Its symptomatic of the been nascent see of the industry that it 1st started out in china but as it matures the Unit Economics and the business models. Underpinning that industry change fundamentally over time and its a natural consequence of that because of work quickly one and others the hash rate will significantly. Shift towards being u. S. Based now this is actually theres 2 levels to this number one is the examination of the Business Case and then number 2 which is i think going to be exciting for any bitcoin are out there is that anyone who had questions about chinese having dominance and mining this is fantastic news because now the mining and the hazaras going to be distributed more geographically and so theres going to be more competition in this industry far as chips go and the seeking of cheaper electricity as you mention which makes the network more secure with of alternately will make the price go higher and lets talk about the electricity 1st 2nd so youre saying its the cheapest in the world but from what i understand is the your equipment is also taking advantage of some proprietary cooling technologies which is a factor as well how for so 2 questions how how much cheaper is your electric tricity cost and then what about these cooling it isnt that kind of an added cost or is that all factored in what do you think alex 1st of all read the beauty of economic incentive allotments theres a theres economic reasons for being ash or to the United States because you can make money that way and the secondary effect of that is that it actually improves. You know. Because of security and you know. Sort of distribution symmetry of hashing out support so thats its Just Economics want to want to assess which is sort of the simple beauty of it and then in terms of the interest the uprising in west texas well west texas or texas in general is the most deregulated Energy Market within the United States its the biggest one Energy Market on 6th biggest solar Energy Market. It is a very mature market in terms of having seen multiple cycles within the Energy Industry and has a very mature and well established. Infrastructure pertaining to you know all types of services and skills d and crafts that are necessary to build the appropriate infrastructure also predict when mining and for that reason in general prices. A very attractive market market price. And. The problem however especially in west texas is that its its very hot and so in the summertime it can get over 100 degrees 110 degrees fahrenheit perhaps even more you have a huge temperature delta where in the winter it can also get extremely cold. So the task is to find a way to have high density high scalable and very robust cooling infrastructure that does not. Counterbalance any pricing advantage that you might get so for example it would absolutely be logistically possible to do air quote mining and in west texas however you would have to pay so so much more in terms of cooling your machines and running and maintaining everything that it would completely try to balance the price to get that if you would because the market price. So what we use been developing for at this point. 3 now 3 years now and you know thats part of the intellectual property where one
