For some reason my comment was deleted. I am gonna say it again. I think the speaker is brilliant and they added significant value and depth to my knowledge and understanding of this matter. I appreciate it endlessly and hope to see more lectures from Lyn

Lyn Alden: excellent presentation as always.

Princeton: maybe you could bother to use some of that $35 billion endowment to invest in functioning microphones?

More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.

[debbygradley]

At this moment, things appear to be odd. Inflation is reducing the value of the US dollar, but it is strengthening in comparison to other currencies and commodities like real estate and gold. People are switching to the dollar because they believe it is safer. I worry that the rising cost of living may cause the value of my retirement savings to decline.

Lyn Alden is a treasure. Much respect to the work and brilliance she's devoted towards her career.

We Are in Unchartered Financial Waters! every day we encounter challenges that have become the new standard. Although we previously perceived it as a crisis, we now acknowledge it as the new normal and must adapt accordingly. Given the current economic difficulties that the country is experiencing in 2024, how can we enhance our earnings during this period of adjustment? I cannot let my $680, 000 savings vanish after putting in so much effort to accumulate them.

Lyn is an economist, investment expert and engineer. No one better to explain bitcoin and the problems of fiat currency debasement!

[DeepDiveNFT]

She is one of the best Econ speakers of our time.

Because of the US economy's importance to the global economy, its instability has far-reaching implications. In such circumstances, safe-haven assets such as those with high FA and cryptocurrencies provide security. Investors must prioritize asset protection, diversification, and balanced portfolios in order to weather market volatility.

[derek.seaborn]

Just leaving a comment to show love for Lyn and her work!

[errans_luxx]

Lyn is so efficient. Less than half an hour to condense the history, function and impacts of evolving monetary technology.

[vincentchanbiz]

As an engineer like Lyn, she sure can talk about a topic in terms of system thinking and in a way that everyone can understand.

[NS-htgg]

Audio staff need to have a stern talk with these people concerning the nature of directional mics and what the live stream will pick up vs what's heard when you're actually in the room.
Other than that, very grateful for this talk and the book is awesome :)

[trishhaines]

Loved Lyn's clear, concise analysis and the thoughtful questions. Lyn should speak at every university, educating with integrity. Make those degrees worth something!

The U.S. economy can actually get better if only the govt can start making better decisions for the sake of it's citizens, cos' they've really made life more difficult for its residents. Hyperinflation has left the less haves bearing the brunt of the burden. Its already eating into my entire $620k retirement portfolio. Like where else can we invest our money with less risks?
