Bitcoin is no longer just a savings technology. It's collateral for the real economy. Andrew Hohns, Founder & CEO of Newmarket Capital and Battery Finance, explains how his firm structured one of the first Bitcoin-backed real estate loans, why credit markets desperately need Bitcoin, and how BTC could reshape mortgages, commercial buildings, and even small-business lending. We discuss:

• Why Bitcoin is pristine collateral for credit instruments
• The first Bitcoin-backed apartment building
• Bitcoin mortgages vs traditional financing
• Will institutions change or be changed by Bitcoin

Natalie Brunell and former Federal Reserve insider Danielle DiMartino Booth break down the escalating battle between Trump and Fed Chair Jerome Powell, the explosion in gold prices, and why Bitcoin is still trading like a "risk-on" asset instead of digital gold. We discuss:

• Why the Fed–White House showdown could change monetary policy
• Will Powell be a "shadow Fed Chair" beside Kevin Warsh?
• Was gold's rally a bubble or the start of a new era
• Why Danielle calls Bitcoin the ultimate gauge of risk appetite
• The labor-market crisis facing young Americans
• Returning to a gold standard?
