America’s ruling class is about to get cut off by the very system they helped build. Arthur Hayes, writing in his latest essay Buffalo Bill, says the rise of artificial intelligence, the decay of U.S. dollar supremacy, and the full deployment of stablecoins will erase the need for debt-ridden college grads chasing prestige jobs. According to Arthur, this group’s reliance on lifelong payments to pay off “worthless credentials” is exactly what made them useful. But now, he says, “America’s gots dat AI,” and the elite will be replaced by machines that don’t ask for Ivy League degrees or six-figure bonuses.…

Although they’d hate to admit it, even Michael Saylor’s biggest fans would agree that Jim Chanos’ bearish Strategy (MSTR) trade this year has been exceptionally profitable. Chanos sold shares short and fully hedged that short-sale with a long bitcoin (BTC) position. In other words, rather than betting against MSTR’s overvaluation on an absolute basis, he merely prepared for its premium relative to its BTC holdings to collapse. It has. On May 14 at the 2025 New York Sohn Investment Conference, Chanos explained that he’d been building his short position in Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) since its 2.5x mNAV in November 2024.…
