Agreed. He was always a master in the technical and conceptual details, and pretty good in communication. Now he has thoroughly mastered communication as well, and is dealing pretty well with humor!
Andreas shows it again: converting time into knowledge is the best store of value. Quality, independent education is more valuable than Bitcoin! Thank you so much!
This is the most educational video ever and we will all need to watch, rewatch and UNDERSTAND (to take the stance) this message very soon. Thank you for this content.
Brilliant! I sent this to my close friends and family, and explained that this video is why I tell them to buy bitcoin constantly. Since they trust me, they do it. I trust you Andreas, and thank you. I hope people watch and really reflect on the metaphor of the sinking ship and the implications for the future of money and the economy.
@@georgew1857 Have you been looking at the same charts? If I bought silver and bitcoin in 2014 - 2020 (at same time) the crypto would still be ahead. If you bought at the best times for one vs the other it might be different, but on average crypto has been doing a LOT better. Thats not to say it isn't risky. There's MAJOR background firewall and hacking on the internet backbone recently which is really worrying.
This struck very close to home. It’s particularly scary as an Australian because here in Australia we haven’t been allowed to leave for over a year now. We are told this ban on leaving our country is for health and safety reasons of course. Really I’m convinced it’s to prevent capital flight from the sinking ship.
This may sound ridiculous to some, but people in Argentina are already using cryptocurrency to protect their money from the countries rampant inflation that has been out of control for decades. People don't realize what a life saver that is.
As time progresses this is becoming more and more relevant and feels more like a roadmap hitting its milestones like clockwork. I literally listen to this once a month and see how the mainstream narrative Aligns to everything in this roadmap . Major kudos Andreas . I’m Sharing this as much as possible .
Well yes but no. Fiat is spent for crypto and locked up in there, it might even aid fiat, for now at least. The issues become clear once people spent what they earned or even worse just buy stuff with crypto.
Andreas, I'm halfway through this and have to say wow, what a great content you totally nailed it from a new angle, love the metaphors. Excellent and keep it up
This is the same analogy I used with family in friends. Only 1 guy gets it; my brother. The rest are lost. I no longer care. I can only help those who want to be helped...
I knew that he is absolutely brilliant and is state-of-the-art in explaining something metaphorically but seeing him so extremely cynically is a whole new level of him. Chapeau for this formidable demonstration. This is a must watch and thank you for having you in this community 👏👏👏
Andreas is a gifted speaker. However we have been hearing about financial collapse since the early 70s. I would argue a few ships sink sometimes but never all of them at once. How come this time is different? After all the world was in a much worse financial position at the end of WW2 (in terms of debt to GDP). Yet things turned out okay.
Good luck with that! Just consider how the money supply works and how perpetual debt is fueling it with the addition of removed control and full on speculation. Doesn't sound good to me at all. Putting your head in the sand will not help in the long run. Just my guess.
Excellent. Too many good ideas to enumerate. I imagine the dramatic arc was carefully thought out and scripted over many hours. If it was extemporized, then Andreas is among the funniest and most coherent people I've ever seen. Generally speaking, I find sarcasm angry and mean, but this was simply delightful. During the presentation, I noticed the Tradingview tab on my browser clicking and stabilizing over 58. -- (erratum: 58.2 k by the time this note was finished) It was only yesterday that I saw a picture of one of the Fed members whose quote indicated that what people want is phone-based money, and that all the countries will soon be providing their citizens with CBDCs -- hence why BTC? All I could think of was Potemkin showing Catherine all the marvelous construction the economy was generating. I mentioned it to my son (who introduced me to this space some years ago) and he reminded me of "... arguing with fools, yada yada". At age 69, it's hard for me to undo an upbringing that taught me not to be dismissive -- especially of those who have achieved august positions in life. It's hard for me to "cancel" people as fools, as the current buzz goes. But really! REALLY!! Is there no shame? This video does seem a little like the Christian talk about the upcoming "Rapture." Okay, weird is weird. But this isn't about some supernatural event in an N-dimensional universe controlled by an angry God. It's so simply a matter of common sense that I can't understand why it's being adopted as slowly as it is. But I don't have to understand. Maybe I liked the talk because A.A. was preaching to the choir. I can't bother to care at this point. I still have lots of my things -- the frufru of life -- in the stateroom (maybe not first class, but not steerage either.) The important things are in the lifeboat. I transfer a little more daily.
Im the biggest NON crypto geek... but this is GOLD in so far as it speaks to question of how we "invest" our personal energy and time and interest, the issue of denial that he mentions, and how in order to create anything better of our world we need to be fully aware of what we are sustaining, vs what we'd like to be creating, with each and every choice we make. Same could be said of the "I still eat meat but I care about the environment debate" and others. Love it. Thank you Andreas. Spectacular analogy.
Do not contact people suggested in youtube comments! They're always scams. I will never recommend investments, investment advisors, etc. I always recommend education. Be careful!
@Aantonop, this is a beautiful piece! I can't tell you how deeply moved I was by the piece, especially given my background in macroeconomics. Thank you so much. I will be buying your internet of money books and mastering Bitcoin book for my birthday! Keep up the good fight and your excellent educational content. I have my life boat and will probably be buying some for others. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for reminding us that different people build life boats differently. Sometimes I get annoyed with gold and silver bugs, but ultimately we see eye to eye that the ship is sinking. We are building our life boat with what we understand whether thats crypto, metals, real estate, etc.
I love metafors. Andreas is one of the best metaforist I have herd. This talk is his best metaforical story. Love it! Thank you Andreas. Nice stories are the best way people learn. You envent great stories thats why you are a great educator!!!
First time I have seen Andreas. It came up in my feed today, randomly. This video was very clever and very insightful. Liked, subscribed, all! Thankyou Andreas for your superb delivery of a very important message.
The best explanation ever for the big chuck of people who don`t have the means to see trough or understand the smoke and mirrors financial maffia that`s at the wheel of these cruise ships
To all those with a foot in the space, it’s hard to go out on a limb and say to someone sinking, “there are lifeboats” even if they are better than the ship that is sinking, we are told there’s nothing worse than to be “captain less” we need to propel humans to believe in one another again. And it is all too difficult while the Centrally powered captains spew FUD for a living. The lies must be seen through and this has been a refreshing satire with so much truth intertwined
This really makes me wonder if ark/flood stories that show up throughout most religions were primitive calls to hodl during exuberance. Arks, debt jubilees, these are ancient cycles.
IMHO this is the best talk of Andreas which absolutely nailed "it" to the point. Thanks a lot!!!!
His every other talk is the best talk ever.
I agree, good one.
A parable that speaks so much truth . Honestly amazing talent
Very good analogy and a wake-up call for a lot of people I hope ...
Agreed. He was always a master in the technical and conceptual details, and pretty good in communication. Now he has thoroughly mastered communication as well, and is dealing pretty well with humor!

Oh Teacher My Teacher. Thank you Andreas for showing me the life boats so long ago. Today I am alive because of you.
Andreas. This is maybe the best video I have seen on TH-cam since the beginning. Well done.
Just when I thought the ship metaphor couldn't go any further, Andreas still had 80 percent of his talk left. Fantastic talk
He promised to stretch it beyond capacity and he delivered. lmao
The 5 dislikes are the ships crew.
Haaaahahhah From Captain
hahaha
*13
More crew members now..
Bill,Buffet,Peter,FED and FED 😂
the ship's wealthy sit at home stock owners.
I watch this every year or two and it’s amazing how much foresight Andreas had from the beginning.
This is the most educational video ever and we will all need to watch, rewatch and UNDERSTAND (to take the stance) this message very soon.
Thank you for this content.
This is "Animal Farm" level content. Needs to be a book, animated series, etc. Awesome!
an animated series? really?
@@scatterhoard360 Yes. You never saw the animated version of Animal Farm??? It is on TH-cam.
there could certainly be an animation to back this one up, imagine the speech to a cartoon, similar to what Ray Dalio does...
@@scottbuszard somebody needs to pitch this to Mike Maloney with his series about money
Man, having this gentleman is an absolute pleasure. This is an only 1 time opportunity in life.
I come back to this one again and again. It is so good
Once again, this guy’s genius never cease to amaze me! I wish I could like twice
Brilliant!

Nice. I did the same thing. Family got in finally
you sound like a MLM where you only make money when bitcoin price increases when everyone else also buys. This bubble will pop hard very soon.
@@georgew1857 It's more solid than fiat currencies, and yes of course most would prefer a crypto that is reliably backed by a commodity.
@@sirellyn you mean how 99% of cryptos in 2018 crashed and are now completely worthless? Bitcoin is about to crash big time currently a huge bubble
@@georgew1857 Have you been looking at the same charts? If I bought silver and bitcoin in 2014 - 2020 (at same time) the crypto would still be ahead.

Genius
Absolutely hilarious

Your work is highly appreciated, thank you Andreas
Andreas, you are a true guiding light. Thank you for spreading seeds of goodness and truth for all.
YOU, SIR, ARE A GENIUS AND A SAINT! THANK YOU FOR YOUR "SERVICE!"
As a captain, I must say I loved your analogy!
Love from Greece!

I can hear Celine Dion singing.
LOL!
Best video yet. Love the sinking ship analogy... makes so much sense.
2% angle of deck sorry 3% angle of deck - excuse me 9%😂😂😂😂
Amazing! How have I not heard about you before now? Unedited, improvised, and fantastic quality.
Some day a statue will be built to immortalize this man.
Where's Waldo?
Or a blockchain :)
I will design a nft for him
Love this guy
"The cruise ship is being painted orange. I repeat, the cruise ship is now being painted orange." ROFL
this video should be played in schools all around the world
The funny thing is, the more people leave the ships, the faster they are sinking :D
Well yes but no. Fiat is spent for crypto and locked up in there, it might even aid fiat, for now at least. The issues become clear once people spent what they earned or even worse just buy stuff with crypto.

Thanks Andreas, you are a blessing!!!😀
You're a deadset hero mate. Much love from Australia

Utterly Sublime. Andreas thank you for sharing you gifted brain with us for all these years. We stand on your shoulders!
Top tier. Talk almost felt biblical at points. Thanks for what you do.
THIS is by FAR the best analogy EVER!!!!!!!!!!
this talk is a masterpiece!!! Thank you for putting that out and all your effort!

No ads. Nice job.
One of Andreas' best videos.
Very well said. Let us make sure this video reaches to maximum people.
Thank you, you have changed my life and helped my family
Thank you Andrea for our opening our eyes and feeding our brains with quality "oragnic" food for thought! Great content!
I love this, it's just a shame the people that need to hear this the most will probably not understand it
I like you Andreas. Your explanation is very simple to understand.

ANALOGY IS JUST SPOT ON!!! gotta love it
A real poet 👌🏿
what does the orange color of the ships a metaphor for?
Lifeboats are generally orange
Bitcoin. he's saying that the governments are going to make a cryptocurrency of Their own but it's just the boat painted orange it's not the lifeboat
@@havenmotel that makes sense. thanks
I appreciate that you offer this kind of content for free
