What Happens to the Global Economy After US Hegemony?
Q: Do you think that Trump is really undermining US leadership in economics and as the reserve currency?

Will Emerging Markets Lead the Next Financial Revolution?
Q: Where do you think the next wave of crypto adoption will come from?
Mitch believes the next wave will come primarily from emerging markets due to their poor financial infrastructure, even as developed countries see slower adoption from institutions.
Will Emerging Markets Lead the Next Financial Revolution?
Q: Can you break down what Trump's doing around crypto and why it's significant?
Mitch explains that Trump is adapting a more pro-regulation stance towards cryptocurrency, indicating a shift from the previous administration's hawkish approach, which left the industry in a legal gray area.
Is a Nuclear Iran Inevitable Now?
Q: What do you encourage people to look out for in the negotiations with Iran?
Observers should focus on the ongoing negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program and whether they can reach a new agreement that ensures strict limitations on enrichment levels.
Is a Nuclear Iran Inevitable Now?
Q: How much does Iran need a nuclear weapon for legitimization and deterrence?
Iran doesn't need a nuclear weapon for domestic legitimization, as they have a fatwa against nuclear weapons. However, having a nuclear weapon would provide them significant influence and a deterrent capability.
