Let's Gamble In A Cult | Financial Delusions & When To Admit You're Wrong

Update: 2025-02-09

Description

Why is investing in Game Stop going to cause the collapse of the financial system?

In episode #475 of Mere Mortals 'Musings', Juan and I discuss: Tom Bilyeu's perspective that all financial actions are a form of gambling, James Jani's videos on GameStop and Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY), how the irrational belief of "mother of all short squeezes" (MOASS) will lead to the financial system's collapse, our past financial delusions in stocks/properties/NFT's, the aftermath of bubbles bursting and Juan's current delusion of the impact of AI by 2026 (my opinion - correct).

Huge thanks to Lyceum and all the other sat streamers out there. Your support means the world to us!
