My last five guests told you the dollar is dying. Brent Johnson manages money on the opposite thesis, and he came on to defend it. "I think a lot of people who want to have a quick end to this whole nonsense are gonna be disappointed. I think this is gonna go on much longer than people think, but that doesn't mean there won't be pockets of great volatility along the way." Brent Johnson (@SantiagoAuFund) is CEO of Santiago Capital and the man behind the Dollar Milkshake Theory. His line that reframes the whole collapse debate: "Imminent is not the same thing as inevitable." He agrees it ends badly. He's watched people trade the ending for eight years and lose. "Things don't end just because they should." We cover: - Why higher rates are, in his words, "actually stimulative", until you hit the wall - The 2022 proof: the US froze Russia's reserves, the ultimate reason to flee the dollar, and the dollar index ran from 98 to 114 - Want vs need: "I totally understand people might not want the dollar. The fact is, like it or not, they still need it" - Stablecoins as a stealth dollar expansion, 99% of all stablecoins are dollar stablecoins - Why he calls this the most challenging period in his 26 years of managing money - And the surprise at the end: what he actually owns in #crypto rails Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 01:00 - Markets And Interest Rates 06:29 - The Global Economy 10:14 - Capital Flows 13:53 - The K-Shaped Economy 19:23 - Centrally Planned Economies 24:36 - Value Investing 34:02 - Long-Term Investing 40:49 - AI And Investing 42:40 - Stablecoins And Finance 54:23 - Risks And Opportunities Every debasement guest on this channel says the dollar loses. He says it drains everyone else first. Someone's wrong.
