Luongo argues Bitcoin is essential because it offers a decentralized, transparent alternative to the existing system, which he views as corrupt and controlled by a select few. He sees Bitcoin as a tool to break free from this control and shift power back to individuals.
Luongo believes immediately ending the Fed is a dangerous idea. He argues it would cause catastrophic deflation, disrupt global agreements and financial markets, and empower those who control offshore dollars. He advocates for reforming the Fed, not abolishing it.
While acknowledging potential threats, Luongo believes Trump's current strategy of remaining at Mar-a-Lago enhances his security. He suggests further attempts are more likely after inauguration, during which Trump's public engagements will increase. Luongo also believes a "divine intervention" occurred during the previous assassination attempt.
Luongo predicts a deflationary wave due to government spending cuts, impacting bond yields and the dollar. He foresees a potential recession, but also an investment cycle in infrastructure and essential goods. He anticipates Powell cutting interest rates to restore a normal yield curve and encourage lending.
Luongo emphasizes how capital flows are central to the ongoing "central banking war." He argues manipulating these flows allows for control over wealth and power. He believes reversing globalist control over these flows is key to restoring American prosperity.
Luongo believes the "comfortable wolves," including Wall Street and established political figures, acted to prevent election theft and maintain their positions of power. He suggests deals were made behind the scenes to ensure a specific outcome.
Yes, Luongo argues that Bitcoin should be treated as a strategic asset, similar to gold. He suggests using Bitcoin reserves to back loans and stabilize the treasury market. He also believes the US is already using Bitcoin indirectly through Tether to manage dollar flows and liquidity in the repo market.
Luongo vehemently opposes secession, arguing it would cripple the U.S. economy, leaving the productive states burdened with debt while the wealthy elite retain their assets. He views secession as a strategy to further weaken the United States.
While not explicitly advocating for revenge, Luongo believes holding those responsible for illegal actions during COVID and political lawfare accountable is crucial for justice and restoring faith in the system. He highlights the importance of equal application of rules.
Luongo encourages Bitcoiners to diversify their holdings with gold and other assets, emphasizing the importance of hedging bets and acknowledging the unpredictable nature of the future. He also suggests physically holding gold allows for a deeper understanding of its historical significance and tangible value.
Today, I had the pleasure of interviewing Tom Luongo to discuss if the current financial system can survive without Bitcoin.
We also get into what Tom thinks about ending the federal reserve immediately, the odds that trump can make it to inauguration day alive, and of course we cover how Tom thinks all the different markets will perform during all of this.
