This is the first video where I "discovered" him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GumiLIxLMM
Gary grew up poor in England, but ended up working as a trader making big bucks for Citi Bank.
Although many people were hoping a recovery after the 2008 crash, he realized the economy would not recover. And he basically bet on it as a trader for Citi. And he won big, he was the best performing trader.
He went on to do the same thing for a couple more years and then retired. The interesting part is that he has been trying to show people that the game is rigged. That the fiat money is basically being printed into oblivion, and only the few richest people are getting all the value, whereas the rest of the people are getting poorer and poorer.
Although he personally has said that he doesn't like Bitcoin, I think it's only because he puts it in the same bag as altcoins. Because if you apply all the logic that he mentions, Bitcoin is clearly a great asset to have.
I enjoyed watching his videos and reading his articles. He seems quite honest and he offers a refreshing perspective, which is someone relatively wealthy that offers a way to get a better distribution of wealth.
Here are the videos from his channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/GarysEconomics
I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
His book is a good and insightful read.
