In this episode, we dive into Arcane, Lyn’s creative pursuits (including her sci-fi novel), and her journey through burnout and back into macro and Bitcoin. We cover tariffs, national debt, Bitcoin’s direction, scaling, and decentralized stablecoins, wrapping up with thoughts on the future of monetary sovereignty.
