Hey Adam, great guest and podcast—really enjoyed the story about EA and JWG. I found the talk insightful and agree with certain points, but here’s my perspective:
AI won’t necessarily displace people, but it might feel that way for those conditioned by academia’s programming, which discourages independent thought and traps people in rigid systems. Without financial literacy or an understanding of the history of money, many still dismiss Bitcoin and fail to see the root problem in society—the origin of credit and the endless printing of money. Austrian economics highlights the importance of low time preference—valuing the scarcity of time has been transformative for me in how I approach each decision (human action). In a free, open-market economy, these intentional choices naturally lead to greater productivity and support innovation.
Tariffs and income taxes seem to undermine the principles of private property and voluntary exchange. Tariffs distort trade by artificially raising costs, while income taxes forcibly seize earnings, discouraging productivity and innovation. Inflation, often used as a tool to “stimulate” the economy, doesn’t increase jobs—it dilutes the value of money, stealing purchasing power and eroding the wealth of those who rely on their savings. Perhaps the next step after learning to save with sound money (Bitcoin) is to end the Fed or encourage enough people to opt out of compliance with the annual contract of taxation, especially given that the 16th Amendment was never properly ratified.
AI is a technology that supports humans, much like Bitcoin has, thriving on human input while amplifying potential. I find it fascinating how adaptable our generation—those of us born under the Uranus-Pluto conjunction in Virgo—has been. Now in our 60s, we transitioned from analog to digital in the early ’90s, embraced Bitcoin as it emerged, and are diving into AI with neurons that seem uniquely flexible. This adaptability feels supported by the last passage of Pluto in Capricorn and Uranus in Taurus, and I’m eagerly anticipating the upcoming three-quarter square, which promises even more transformation. Pluto in Virgo is all about service.
Over the past five years, I’ve invested in educating myself on many matters, from trauma work to Bitcoin, reading financial charts, and most recently spending two years studying Austrian economics directly with Saifedean. This has completely transformed how I see the perfect alignment between Bitcoin and Austrian economics. I’ve also been deeply immersed in learning AI and have created highly capable agents that support my polymath interests and ways of expressing myself. I’ve started giving talks and participating in panels at Bitcoin conferences to share ideas about the Promethean fire that Bitcoin represents and how it aligns with time cycles and praxeology.
The clients who don’t value my knowledge are free to explore what they believe, even if that means losing themselves in the guise of AI. My focus is on inspiring people to educate themselves, excel at what they love, and take ownership of their growth. My readings have increased significantly since I began attending conferences and being a guest on Bitcoin and carnivore-focused podcasts. It required me to shift perspectives, but the growth and connection have been remarkable.
I also resonate deeply with the significance of Pluto’s acceleration in Aquarius and the nodes shifting next year. It feels like 2025 will be the threshold between the old and the new—a moment of staggering transformation. I am very bullish on Bitcoin, AI, innovation, education—and the possibility of ending the Fed.
I’m that generation—now 61. Fascinating insights, thank you. Could be a game changer in the realm of money this year, even for those of us who live down under x
Look the bitcoin’s progress chart this spring when the sun moves to Aquarius -
Btw, I have done many bitcoiner’s charts , Aquarius and Uranus are main components within their charts - saif, Breedlove, saylor, all related to trauma- fun episode -
Loved this podcast episode. I first heard you on Astrology Hub and followed you to your podcast on Spotify from there. I particularly appreciated your content as a Chinese Medicine practitioner who got into astrology around 2018. I recently began learning about trading, and was thrilled to hear you host Ray Merriman. Thanks for throwing out the reference to his almanac.. definitely want to track that down for the coming year. More financial astrology please! Love it!
Love to hear it Akemi. I was actually just invited back to the Hub this week. I floated doing another Bitcoin-focused month/Financial Astrology month, but it was voted out. More podcasts on the subject will happen for sure though =)
I just finished a 3 day intro to bitcoin and it’s a good thing I saved this podcast for later because little did I know listening it was about bitcoin! I’ve heard wonderful things about Ray and this podcast has added to my own conviction why I should look at Bitcoin myself. I’m a Gem Sun and Aries rising so Gemini in Uranus I can assume will catapult me to Bitcoin. This surely wasn’t a coincidence but looking forward to learning more with the intro to financial astrology Adam!
it's never too late to start stacking sats =) I have a class on the Astrology of Bitcoin as well if you are interested. It's free for all my patrons too. Glad you enjoyed Ray. So did I =)

interesting about the prog Sun in BTC's chart. Didn't track that move...nice one.

You have a lot of advantage for having lived different timelines - I am way ahead - relentlessly
