  • No More Mel Please

    You are a rockstar Marty but Mel has a lot of growing up to do before he steps in front of a mic.

    His apology about his “suffering” from alcohol dependence was unnecessary and unprofessional - and super lame.

    As Adam Carolla says, all roads lead to narcissism.

    And Mel is a case study of it.

    Tip for Mel, don’t waste listener’s time with your hollow apology for being a drunk, and then have the nerve to defend your posts by saying “that’s not me”. It is you Mel. Don’t try to win a spot on t... more

  • Worth it

    I enjoy listening to, and I learn so much from the variety of guests and BTC related topics. I gave 5 stars but would happily give 10.

  • It’s almost like the host as 2 brain cells

    I started listing to TFTC way back in 2022. Back then it was highly educational with respect to the financial system and how the world of finance actually worked. Since 2025 it has become a place where childish partisan conversations take place. Much like the country that this pod is produced in it has totally and utterly failed and has become a laughing stock to anyone listing with a IQ above 50.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#762: July 2026 Is The Portal with Erin Redwing
Q: And so I guess starting at what the hell is astrology? Why should anybody care? And even if you don't care, why should you listen to this episode?
Erin explains that astrology offers a framework to look at long-term cycles and energies shaping civilization, technology, and cultural narratives, which can provide context for Bitcoin and present-day changes without demanding dogmatic belief.
#750: Stimmy Checks Are Coming Back with Joe Consorti
Q: Where can listeners follow your day-to-day work and insights?
Joe Consorti points listeners to YouTube and X (Twitter) for his daily coverage, and the hosts emphasize subscribing to the TFTC channel for updates.
#754: 15% Inflation Is Coming Back with Chris Martenson
Q: What are your views on where oil and energy markets are headed given current geopolitical tensions?
Oil remains an inelastic, highly influential commodity; supply disruptions and strategic inventory moves can have outsized price effects, and the trajectory seems to point toward a period of higher volatility and potential price spikes, especially if supply constraints persist.
#747: Stablecoins Won’t Save the Treasury Market with Peruvian Bull
Q: What is the critical level that the yen needs to hold against the dollar and what are the ramifications if it breaks?
The 160 level has historically been the red line; breaking it risks a deterioration of Japan's energy costs and a renewed surge in yen depreciation with broad financial system implications, potentially forcing policy actions that could deepen currency weakness and require further interventions.
#735: The Pollution of Bitcoin Core with Dr. Jack Kruse
Q: What are your thoughts on the RF signal and its potential impact on Bitcoin or circadian biology?
Kruse ties RF exposure to disruptions in circadian biology and dopamine regulation, arguing that electromagnetic factors can affect neurological and metabolic processes relevant to Bitcoin markets and cognitive function.
