How in the world did Trump pivot to Pro-Crypto?

David Bailey is the CEO and Cofounder of Bitcoin Media, which you might also know as Bitcoin Magazine He has just finished throwing the Bitcoin 2024 Conference, he’s been in Bitcoin since it’s inception and he’s now at the forefront of the world of politics where Bitcoin has been meaningfully intersecting with the Trump Administration.

We talk mostly about Trump and his crypto policies. We then contrast it with Kamala Harris and the Democrats. And we finish with why David is so bullish on Bitcoin and why he has fallen in love with the idea of Bitcoin.

Nate Silver is a statistician, writer, and political analyst, widely recognized for his accurate predictions of U.S. presidential elections. He's now released an exceptional new book titled, "On the Edge: The Art of Risking Everything." The book delves into the world of risk, game theory, cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, and poker—fields where the stakes are high and the outcomes uncertain. One of the central themes of the book is crypto, which is why we were thrilled to have Nate join us.

Nate is not just a respected analyst; he's one of us—a fellow degen who shares our passion for the unpredictable and the frontier. But he's also much more. Nate is an avid poker player, a sharp sports bettor, an interviewer of Sam Bankman-Fried, an NFT enthusiast, and an advisor to Polymarket. In today’s episode, he offers keen insights into the brewing battle between the crypto world and its traditional incumbents.

Robinhood is the world’s most successful FinTech trading company. They have already conquered TradFi. What are they targeting next?

In June, they announced the acquisition of Bitstamp, the oldest crypto exchange. They’re increasingly investing in crypto and we felt it was important to know their plans.

We brought the co-founder Vlad Tenev and we had a wide-ranging conversation covering topics like tokenization, Robinhood’s Wallet and L2, payment for orderflow and MEV, the SEC Wells Notice and much more.

This week in crypto we saw markets…stumble? Then recover? Is the 2024 bull run over? 

Elizabeth Warren is targeting prediction markets and the crypto community is pushing back, obviously. Meanwhile, SEC Chair Gary Gensler also faces setbacks…more L’s? 

Zora’s latest release promises to shake up the NFT world. 

And in a surprising twist, Trump's children have reportedly taken a keen interest in…DeFi…?

In today’s episode, we tackle the big question: with the massive sell-off earlier this week, is the bull market over?  Our guest, Tom Lee, doesn’t think so.

We aim to answer several key questions: Why did markets take a hit on Monday? Is there more pain to come? Is the bull market truly over? What about the possibility of a recession? What are the arguments for both the bear and bull cases?

And finally, Tom's Price Predictions.
