Arthur Hayes Quotes:
“Every time we’ve had a financial crisis over the last 80 years, […] the government rushes in and they essentially destroy some part of the free market because they want to save the system.”
“We’ve proven over thousands of years of human history that printing money is not growth…”
“The problem is when inflation shows up, it’s when you exhaust the cheap labor, when you exhaust the cheap energy…”

A Great Depression Worse Than 2008 – Survive & Thrive During The New Economic Reset
The world was left reeling from the economic collapse of 2008, but could we be on the cusp of an even greater depression? According to cryptocurrency entrepreneur Arthur Hayes, the answer is yes. In a recent interview, Hayes warns that we are headed for a new economic reset, one that could surpass the devastation of 2008 if we are not prepared. While this may sound alarming, Hayes also offers some insights into how we can not only survive but thrive during this turbulent time.
Firstly, Hayes argues that the foundation of any effective strategy is understanding the nature of this impending crisis. He explains that the root cause lies in the bloated balance sheets of central banks around the world. In response to the 2008 crisis, these institutions injected massive amounts of liquidity into the market, effectively delaying the inevitable. However, this short-term solution has only prolonged the pain, as it has led to the creation of a debt bubble that is ready to burst. Hayes likens this situation to a game of musical chairs, where the music has stopped and the participants are left scrambling for a seat. Unfortunately, there won’t be enough seats for everyone, and many will be left to face the consequences.
So, how can individuals navigate such stormy economic waters? Hayes emphasizes the importance of diversification and a forward-thinking mindset. He suggests that having a mix of traditional investments, such as stocks and bonds, as well as alternative assets like cryptocurrencies, can provide a buffer against the uncertainty ahead. While these emerging assets come with their own risks, they also offer the potential for significant upside, particularly in times of economic turmoil.
In addition to diversification, Hayes stresses the importance of acquiring new skills and adapting to changing circumstances. With industries being disrupted at an unprecedented pace, being flexible and open to learning new things can make all the difference. While some may view this economic reset as a threat, Hayes sees it as an opportunity for those who are willing to embrace change. He believes that advancements in technology, particularly in areas like AI and blockchain, will create new sectors and job opportunities that we can’t even imagine today. By preparing for these shifts and staying ahead of the curve, individuals can position themselves to not just survive but thrive in the new economic landscape.
Lastly, Hayes emphasizes the importance of staying informed and seeking out alternative perspectives. In a world dominated by mainstream media, it can be easy to fall into echo chambers and miss crucial information. Hayes suggests seeking out independent thinkers and experts in various industries to gain a more well-rounded understanding of the economic landscape. According to him, being aware of and anticipating major shifts in the market will give individuals a significant advantage in navigating the stormy waters ahead.
In conclusion, while the prospect of a new economic reset may be daunting, it’s important to approach it with a proactive mindset. By understanding the root causes and preparing for the changes to come, individuals can not only survive but potentially thrive in the face of adversity. Diversification, adaptability, and seeking out alternative perspectives are key to weathering the storm and emerging with a stronger financial footing. As Arthur Hayes suggests, it’s time to roll up our sleeves and embrace the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.
1:12:35 the big question
Aahh as long you dont loose youreself. You be oké.
You mean harnessing free energy that Nikola Tesla discovered
He want nuclear engines in cars lol
1:06:18 why on earth??
Mr Hayes speaks very calmly about DISASTER. ( to one hour, 10 minutes in…
Pay is back TO WHO?
When the Great Depression and other huge catastrophes occurred, I used to believe that everyone went bankrupt, but they didn't… Some made millions; I also assumed that everyone closed their businesses during these times, but certain did start new ones. It all depends on your point of view; there will always be moments of prosperity for some individuals and times of depression or recession for others. My main concern now is how can we generate more revenue during quantitative times? I can't afford to see my life savings of $200k crumble to dust.
Awesome content, questions was perfect and Arthur Hayes is amazing. The only thing was the host was scared and worried about everything, must be Generalized Anxiety Disorder
“I did not see that coming”. I did..
So much talk about Elon, but no mention of Doge… How come?
I wonder if people that experienced the 2008 crash had it easier because. my portfolio has lost over $27000 and I don't see my retirement turning out well when I can't even grow my stagnant reserve
The govt is NOT bailing out the consumer. They are stocking their bunkers with
I've come to realize that the key to amassing wealth lies in making sound investments. I purchased my first home at the age of 21 for $87,000 and sold it for $197,000. My second home, acquired for $170,000, was later sold for $320,000, and my third property, purchased at $300,000, fetched $589,000, with buyers covering all closing costs and expenses. Not reaching a million before retirement feels like an unfulfilled goal.-
Americans should absolutely get used to a lower standard for a time. America has its own untapped resources and still the leader of health and tech.
Arthur is assuming that this is just another boom and bust cycle, disregarding histories of fiat currency.
Politicians are puppets.
And they don't want a single government to control the world. Then they would not be able to wage war which is their biggest money maker. Through weapons production, rebuilding countries they destroyed and so on. Their bloody hands are all over and into everything. I.e. Blackrock, Vanguard.
Maybe 200 people, probably less now own half the world's wealth. What are their interests? More profits. And yes they own all the big banks big media big business and the politicians are in their pockets.
Best vid ever!!!!
Any conversation on inflation or macroeconomics is worthless without knowing which individuals own the Fed and the world bank… A group of international investors… Is not specific enough. Every financial meltdown benefits them.
HE'S MISSING THAT ONE KEY 'THING', IT'S CALLED AI LMFAO
People only predict "the biggest crash since forever" or "biggest rally since the universe was born", including both at once lol. Why not predict "nothing too out of the ordinary will happen?"
Isn't force the way the US has been operating? As a civilization, I ache for the time when countries would stop waring.
Arthur is such a bright guy! Really appreciate his insight. I hope the US government has stopped harassing him.
This black dude usually is talking extremely fast and spazzing out. Good for him, maybe he was on coke last time
Stop fearmongering
I wonder if people that experienced the 2008 crash had it easier because. my portfolio has lost over $27000 and I don't see my retirement turning out well when I can't even grow my stagnant reserve
i want to know what crack Arthur smokes. $700k per btc? bruh.
Nah. Price of energy and production about to plummet in the next decade. Getting suckered in at these prices even at 2-3% rates. Wow you got a great deal on that 350k house that now costs 50k to build.
We’re fighting natural DEFLATION by increasing money supply (INFLATION) to keep prices the same.
The advancement in technology is reducing the cost of everything = deflation.
My retirement is in few years time and considering this economic recession, I’m curious to know best how people split their pay, how much of it goes into savings, spending or investments, I earn around $250K per year but not much to show for it yet.
Very good talk
The world currency is energy
I've really come to hate how Tom talks and emphasizes things it makes him sound so snooty and like he's better than everyone. Which I totally believe he beleives.
merci
You create more people by loosening immigration policies…thats how you create more tax payers. Not advocating just saying he claims no way to make up for population shortfall.
