The Last Trade: a weekly, bitcoin-native podcast covering the intersection of bitcoin, tech, & finance on a macro scale. Hosted by Jackson Mikalic, Michael Tanguma, & Brian Cubellis.

🎙️ About This Episode

Stretch is now the marginal buyer of bitcoin and the crew breaks down why marketing it as "money-market-like" is misleading when it's preferred equity with no legal claim on the bitcoin. Meanwhile, treasury companies have quietly sold their holdings while nobody noticed, Goldman filed a Bitcoin Premium Income ETF, Justin Sun is suing the Trump family over World Liberty Financial, and Allbirds pivoted from shoes to AI and mooned 800%. A record 54% of Americans say their financial situation is worse than a year ago, inflation expectations just hit 4.8%, and the case for holding spot bitcoin has never been clearer.

🎙️ About This Episode

Morgan Stanley just launched its bitcoin ETF at 14bps, undercutting BlackRock and coming for a $10 trillion wealth platform — the most bullish signal of the cycle hiding in plain sight. The FDIC finally blessed Genius Act implementation, Jamie Dimon is warning JPM has to move faster on tokenization or get Blockbustered, and a Blockware chart shows bitcoin ran 175% during the most aggressive tightening cycle on record. A Tennessee crime ring got busted running wrench attacks through hacked DoorDash accounts, physical attacks on holders are up 75%, and Anthropic's Project Glasswing is exposing a new AI attack surface while the crypto world front-runs its own quantum existential crisis. Security that scales with the stakes has never mattered more.

🎙️ About This Episode

Google's quantum AI lab dropped a new paper and the panic merchants are back on schedule. The crew separates the theoretical from the existential, flags the incentive structures behind the loudest voices, and explains why bitcoin's conservative development ethos is a feature, not a bug. From there, the conversation shifts to the Strait of Hormuz and the JP Morgan supply map showing US deliverables running dry by mid-April. Oracle cuts 30,000 employees in a single morning email and the stock rallies. Six of the Mag Seven are already in bear markets while the index pretends everything is fine. And then Warren Buffett says what bitcoiners have been saying for years: the Fed's inflation target should be zero. Ground beef is up nearly 100% since 2019. The compounding works both ways.

🎙️ About This Episode

Four weeks into the Iran conflict and the system is cracking. Inflation expectations are reversing, private credit funds are gating withdrawals, and the Philippines just declared a national energy emergency. The Fed is boxed in — can't cut, shouldn't hike, and the excuse to print is writing itself. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley is about to launch a Bitcoin ETF that will force active solicitation over latent demand, Fidelity says fiduciaries at zero need a reason they don't have, and Bybit's proof of reserves exposes why snapshots aren't security. The crew makes the case that the big print is coming — and Bitcoin is the exit.
