This week's headline hit different: inflation is falling globally, but here in America? It just keeps climbing. So when exactly should I expect to hand over a truck full of singles for a roll of toilet paper?
What We Cover:
-
Why the IMF's inflation numbers are complete fiction (CPI vs. real inflation explained)
-
How 110 ounces of gold bought the same house in 1913 and today
-
Why China's gold hoarding strategy is beating our money printer approach
-

-
The real difference between saving and investing (spoiler: your 401k isn't investing)
-
Why Bitcoin can't solve your daily spending needs (yet)
-
How infinite banking creates real wealth in an inflating world
Key Takeaways: Luke breaks down why inflation and rising prices aren't the same thing - one's about money supply, the other's about effects. Rob explains how the pre-1913 gold standard proves nothing's really changed except our money got worthless. Corey reveals why infinite banking isn't anti-crypto - it's your launching pad for everything else.
We also tackle the elephant in the room: Sure, Bitcoin looks great on a chart, but can you pay your Arkansas grocery bill with it? When the real estate opportunity of a lifetime appears, are you calling your 401k company for weeks of paperwork, or writing a check tomorrow?
The Reality Check: Other countries are beating inflation by backing their currencies with real assets. Meanwhile, we're printing dollars faster than a teenager with their first credit card. But here's the thing - if you understand how money really works, this creates opportunities.
Perfect Spiral Capital Insight: The guys reveal their "dry powder" strategy - how to accumulate capital that's always available for the next big opportunity, whether that's real estate, Bitcoin, or your neighbor's house. It's not about being anti-crypto or anti-anything. It's about having a firm foundation that lets you move fast when others are stuck in bureaucracy.
