On Today's Episode: What in the crypto is actually going on? In the middle of the financial crisis we\u2019re experiencing, people are acting out of desperation, and emotions are possibly leading the charge. Raoul Pal is back to help us understand what is the current state of crypto, why FTX has been using customer money and more importantly, why is this not as unusual as you may think. Raoul\u2019s insights as a macro investor, former hedge fund manager that retired at 36, and co-founder of Real Vision, a financial media company, takes us to a high level view to string together how world history and demographics have brought us to this point.\nThe key takeaway here for you is that, \u201cthe game of money is a game of psychology.\u201d Tom Bilyeu Once you understand that this is a game, we need to know the players, the rules. The ultimate indicator of how you play this game, as Raoul explains it, is the future version of yourself and what that version wants. It indicates your debts, your risk tolerance, and what your next financial move will be following this interview.\nWhatever you do, do so from a place of minimizing your emotional response and play the game well.\n\nSHOW NOTES:\n0:00 | What In The Crypto Is Going On?\n14:02 | The Emotional Cycle of Money\n23:46 | Inflation Vs.
