Andy Flattery speaks with bitcoin legend Bitstein about the fundamental economic question - what is the social good of speculation? Contrary to popular belief, correct speculation is not a zero sum game, but serves the purpose of correcting mispriced assets.

Andy Flattery & Zach from Casa respond to the bitcoin comments of Creative Planning's Peter Mallouk:
- BTC is "Palm or Blackberry..." but blockchain will revolutionize everything?
- "Too speculative" to be a currency?
- But "anyone can create their own cryptocurrency?"
- Investors in the S&P 500 will benefit anyway (from companies who hold it on the balance sheet)?

I share some personal views on another Trump presidency and allow myself a moment to indulge in some optimism. We get into the concept of America's decline, comparing it to the fall of Rome, and explore the potential for continuation of the empire. I riff on the commentary of Peter Thiel on Bari Weiss’s show, Trump’s Rogan appearance, Michael Goldstein on the Art of Bitcoin Rhetoric, the Kurt Steiner piece on American Empire: A Morale Project, and Isaac Simpson’s piece on the El Segundo Hard Tech movement.

I delve into Mel Gibson's spot-on perspective on retirement, which I contend is unnatural in the modern hedonistic context. I explore Gibson’s commitment to staying creative and active into his later years, doing work that matters, and contrast this with our societal norm of subsidized and unexamined retirement.

I welcome Leandro of Best Anchor Stocks to Gentleman Speculator. Leandro is the co-founder of an investment research service and an equity analyst I deem worthy of paying attention to. We discuss the value of multi-generational family businesses, focusing especially on Hermès. Despite challenges, there is a small subset of public companies where being family controlled is a benefit. We talk luxury investing, how luxury brands are a reflection of human nature, and a contrast between European and American markets.
Leandro's work is thoughtful. He’s a deep researcher, and a bottom-up, long-term i ..read more

In this episode of GENTLEMAN SPECULATOR, I sit down with Clay Finck from 'We Study Billionaires' to discuss Chris Mayer's book '100 Baggers,' the quality investing ethos, and the friction stock analyst have with bitcoin. Clay shares his journey from being an actuary in Nebraska to going full time with The Investors Podcast Network. Highlights include specific companies like Copart and Constellation Software.
Clay is one of the few guys I can have a conversation with about long-term investing, the value of high-quality businesses, and how Bitcoin breaks the mold.

You heard right. The Reformed Financial Advisor Podcast? It's gone. Dead and buried. From now on, it's Gentleman Speculator. Cleaner. Sharp as a stiletto heel. Like Alain Delon's tailored slacks.
Money is a tool. But this isn’t about counting beans anymore. We’re talking shadows, where the real power reveals itself. The true Zorro? It's William Lamport. And he doesn’t just fight with a sword; he fights with secrets. Bruce Wayne’s noblesse oblige? That’s not rotten lefty philanthropy—it’s blood, sweat, and munificence bestowed on a world that can't ge ..read more
