Daniela Cambone: 2-12-2024
Daniela Cambone engages in a conversation with Eric Wade, the editor of Crypto Capital at Stansberry Research, also known for his authorship of "America Vs. Americans: How Capitalism Has Failed a Capitalist Nation and What We Can Do About It".
In their discussion, Wade delves into the central themes of his book, touching upon the U.S. dollar, bitcoin, gold, and strategies for reducing taxes.
He emphasizes a shift in the capitalist approach, advocating for valuing and enhancing the worth of people's labor.
“Capitalism is if we could respect labor more, if we could make people's labor worth more,” he says. Wade also talks about the prospect of offering free education without imposing burdensome tax hikes.
Concluding on a bold prediction, Wade forecasts a trajectory leading gold to soar to $3,500 an ounce within the coming years. Dive into the video to gain deeper insights into his compelling perspectives.
