  • Little ears friendly

    Love it. I can play this podcast with kid sin the car and not have to worry about f-bombs. Well done Danny! Peter’s great but he swore too much. I had to listen to the old pod alone.

  • New host is less aggravating than the original host, but could use a personality

    The bald guy ads absolutely nothing to the conversation. Simply a rehash of the same old guests that have been beating the same dead horse to death for years. His accent and non stop “em’s” are annoying as hell.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

This Is The Macro Reset | Nik Bhatia
Q: What would cause a recession now?
The discussion frames a potential recession as a result of sustained high oil prices, deteriorating cash flows, and leverage in the financial system, with defaults and banking stress acting as catalysts.
Bitcoin is Undervalued, But the Bottom Isn't In Yet | Rational Root
Q: Do you expect another leg down before the bottom forms?
Yes, there is a fairly high chance of another leg down in the next few months, though passive flows and institutional activity could cushion it.
Bitcoin is Undervalued, But the Bottom Isn't In Yet | Rational Root
Q: What would have to happen to break the four-year cycle?
New all-time highs this year could suggest a break, but even then the cycle could persist if passive flows and institutions stabilize markets.
Bitcoin is Undervalued, But the Bottom Isn't In Yet | Rational Root
Q: What do you think is driving the four-year cycle if it's still intact?
There is a psychology around the cycle; hype shifts to other assets like AI and gold, reducing Bitcoin's hype but institutional adoption remains, which supports the cycle's continuation.
5 Years In Prison For Building A Bitcoin Wallet | Lauren Rodriguez
Q: What happened during the plea decision and why did you choose to plead guilty?
Facing potential decades in prison and a likely unfavorable trial due to judge and courtroom dynamics, the defendants accepted a plea for unlicensed money transmission to avoid harsher penalties and possible life-altering outcomes.
