 I have a meeting with my old financial advisor who I stopped seeing 3 years ago because I stopped caring about my "portfolio". He's a tradfi bro who is pro-bitcoin but chained to his career.

What are the most inconvenient questions I could possibly ask him about traditional investment and the state of our stonk market and economy? 
 Ask him what bank he recommends his clients to get a mortgage to buy more corn 
 Why is the S&P just a reflection of monetary debasement and not of actual growth.

Why are stocks essentially "money" and the dollar actually just a unit. 
 When Nvidia collapses what about the rest of the market?  
 How are fund managers and FA’s approaching the de-dollarization? 
 were stocks a good store of value in venezuela? 
 How has the bonds safe haven worked out for his elder clients?  
 Let us know how it went.
