Summary: <br> Our guest for today’s episode is Preston Pysh, founder of <a href="http://BuffetsBooks.com">BuffetsBooks.com</a> and co-host at The Investors Podcast network. As a graduate of both West Point and John Hopkins, Preston is certainly the only person we have interviewed who has both an MBA but can also fly a helicopter. Mostly in the interview we were talking about economics rather than military strategy, but the topic of a US/China war did come up briefly. Preston has spent a lot of time thinking about value investing, and some of the most interesting parts of our discussion centred around the effects that money printing and technological change have had for the traditional value investor. But we also had a wide ranging chat about many other topics, including Moritz’s current favourite: Bitcoin.<br> <br> Topics Discussed in this Episode<br> <br> * Value Investing<br> * The correct discounting of future cash flows<br> * Demographic changes<br> * The debt cycle<br> * QE<br> <br> "I operate off this really fundamental thesis of manipulation: anytime somebody steps into a freely functioning system, like nature, for example, when man steps into nature and they start manipulating that, there is always a consequence of some sort that has to balance that manipulation out."<br> <br> * Berkshire Hathaway<br> * The fundamental case for huge returns on Bitcoin<br> <br> “To be quite honest with you I don't know how anything is going to outperform bitcoin based on my opinions of how I think it's going to perform in the coming year and a half. I don't know how anything can outperform that simply because the market cap is so low.”<br> <br> * Yield curve control<br> <br> "The fixed income market is completely manipulated."<br> <br> * The failure of the dollar<br> <br> " Every single thing on the planet has to be sold in order to come up with dollars to adjudicate the differences of the trades and the differences of opinions and the impairment that happened on the balance sheets."<br> <br> * The connection between Bonds & Bitcoin prices<br> * Why countries should be doing their best to accumulate Bitcoin<br> <br> <br> Links<br> Catch up with Preston Pysh and learn more about his work:<br> <a href="https://www.theinvestorspodcast.com">The Investors Podcast</a><br> <a href="https://www.theinvestorspodcast.com/we-study-billionaires/">We Study Billionaires</a><br> <a href="https://www.buffettsbooks.com">Buffett's Books</a><br> <br> Follow Niels, Moritz, & Rob on Twitter:<br> <a href="https://twitter.com/toptraderslive">Niels Kaastrup-Larsen</a><br> <a href="https://twitter.com/moritzseibert">Moritz Seibert</a><br> <a href="https://twitter.com/investingidiocy">Rob Carver</a><br> Subscribe on:<br> <a href="https://www.toptradersunplugged.com/itunes" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2OnOvLbIV3AttbFLxuoaBW" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://www.breaker.audio/top-traders-unplugged/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://overcast.fm/+BwfvWmh0Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/top-traders-unplugged" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://soundcloud.com/toptradersunplugged-com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/toptradersunplugged" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a><br>
