Ron Paul Warns the Fed’s ‘Fantasy Money’ Is Fueling the AI Bubble

In the latest Liberty Report, Ron Paul and co-host Chris Rossini argue that the U.S. economy is not just entering a bubble but is spinning inside an interconnected cluster of them — a condition longtime market watchers have dubbed the “everywhere bubble” or “everything bubble.”

Paul opened with a look at markets he says clearly reflect public anxiety. Gold has held steady at around $4,000 an ounce, bitcoin has experienced sharp whipsaws, and investors are scrambling for safe ground. For Paul, these are signs that people no longer trust the dollar’s long-term stability. “Gold really is money,” he reminded viewers, noting that its purchasing power has outlasted every major fiat system in modern history.

Ron Paul Warns the Fed’s 'Fantasy Money' Is Fueling the AI Bubble

“The AI Bubble is a perfect example of why the Fed should not exist,” Paul says. “Give human beings the ability to counterfeit money, and their delusions of grandeur are going to take over. Economic laws become a relic of the past. The free will of every single person on earth is ignored as if it doesn’t exist. Rational valuation becomes impossible and is shoved aside in favor of fabricated narratives. And, of course, the line that accompanies every single bubble: ‘This time is different.’”

The conversation quickly shifted to the booming AI sector — a frenzy Rossini says mirrors previous bubbles fueled by the Federal Reserve’s loose monetary policies. The United States has more than 5,000 data centers, he noted, while the next closest country, Germany, has just 500. Rising electricity costs, rapid construction, and lofty earnings expectations have inflated what Rossini calls an “Alice in Wonderland” economy built on subsidized credit and distorted incentives.

Rossini pointed to recent comments from major tech leaders predicting an end to global poverty and claiming their companies are too important to fail. Nvidia’s CEO even suggested the world would have “fallen apart” if its latest earnings had disappointed — rhetoric Rossini compared to the pre-2008 assurances that housing prices would “only go up.”

Paul emphasized that runaway credit growth, political incentives, and aggressive monetary intervention have produced a cycle in which governments encourage risky behavior, then bail out the consequences. From the dot-com era to the housing crash to crypto’s volatility, Paul said bubbles form when easy credit gives the illusion of wealth while savings and production fail to keep pace.

“The receivers of The Fed’s counterfeit money believe that reality will conform to their imaginations,” Paul told his 1.2 million followers on X. “It won’t. End the Fed…and we end this repeated madness.”

Where he sees the biggest danger today is not just in tech, markets, or housing — but in what he calls “bubble money” itself. Washington’s war spending, global military commitments, and long-term debt obligations, he said, have created an economic structure that depends on perpetual money creation. “Government spending is doomed to be monetized,” Paul said, arguing that inflation and currency debasement are unavoidable under the current system.

The Liberty Report hosts also highlighted what they view as structural distortions: government subsidies for electric vehicles, the collapse of commercial office demand, and corporate circular-investment schemes in the AI sector involving major firms such as Microsoft, Oracle, and Nvidia. These cycles, the duo argued, thrive only because the price system no longer reflects real supply and demand.

As an alternative, Paul advocated a return to sound money — a system grounded in gold and silver with voluntary transactions and consistent units of account. He pointed to the Byzantine bezant, a gold coin that circulated internationally for centuries, as an example of monetary stability without a central bank. Modern systems, he said, rely on money creators who behave more like counterfeiters than guardians of value.

Paul concluded by warning that every reserve currency in history has eventually failed, and he believes the U.S. dollar is no exception. Yet he also noted that younger generations are increasingly interested in monetary reform, gold, bitcoin, and alternatives to the current system. For the Liberty Report hosts, that curiosity may be the most encouraging sign of all.
