Balaji Srinivasan: The COLLAPSE of the West – Why AI, Bitcoin & China Will Win | Peter McCormack

Descripción:

In this episode of The Peter McCormack Show, I speak with Balaji Srinivasan, founder of the Network School (ns.com). We discuss the decline of the West, the rise of China, AI disruption, Bitcoin’s role in a collapsing dollar system, and why political polarisation is tearing America apart. Balaji explains why dollar inflation is global taxation, why the U.S. empire is unsustainable, and how decentralised technology is reshaping money, media, and geopolitics. 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:01:32 – West vs East: Power Rebalancing 00:06:33 – Asia Rising & West Declining 00:10:30 – Media Denial & Western Escapism 00:14:00 – Millionaire Migration Maps 00:18:20 – Exponential Collapse Trends Begin 00:20:10 – Red vs Blue vs China vs Internet 00:25:00 – Trade Wars & Tariff Illusions 00:33:05 – Blue America vs Internet 00:39:35 – The US Could Split Geographically 00:43:52 – Dollar Inflation = Global Taxation 00:49:30 – Left & Right Destroying Their Empire 01:07:20 – Super Bitcoinization Already Happening 01:26:00 – The Internet is the New West 01:32:00 – Debt Collapse vs Hyperinflation 01:42:00 – Foreign Trust in the US Collapsing 01:45:00 – Brain Drain: Talent Fleeing America 01:48:00 – India Rising, Fast & Quiet 01:54:00 – Bitcoin vs State Power 02:03:00 – America Cannot Handle Being #2 02:06:00 – Debt & Broken Promises 02:12:00 – Internet = West 3.0 02:14:30 – The Internet Will Replace the Empire
