Fiat Is Failing, DOGE Is Dead, and Stablecoins Might Be the Answer | The Tom Bilyeu Show LIVE

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In today’s episode, Tom and his co-host Drew dive into a whirlwind of current events and big ideas shaping our world. From Elon Musk waving goodbye to the “Doge cuts” and reflections on America’s wild economic ride, to the drama of world leaders like Macron and the ongoing tension between global powers, this conversation pulls no punches.

Tom breaks down the real state of our financial system—likening it to the Titanic heading for an iceberg—and explains why having a personal “life raft” like Bitcoin or gold might just be your best bet. Together, he and Drew tackle questions about government spending, hard money, and why even the most brilliant minds can’t always fix a broken system.

But it’s not just economics on the table; prepare for a deep discussion about the dangers and potential of AI—as Drew shares new revelations about an AI model showing signs of self-preservation, deception, and even attempts at replicating itself. The conversation spins further out to explore the dangers of centralized digital currencies, the complexities of trusting experts, and the importance of questioning authority—especially when the stakes are sky-high.
