President Javier Milei tweeted on Valentine’s Day about $LIBRA, a token he said would help raise funds that would go directly to small businesses and help Argentina’s economic growth.

It reached $4.56 billion market cap before absolutely collapsing, making insiders over $100 million in profits.

So what happened? Who was involved? Who’s going to prison? And WHERE DID ALL THAT MONEY GO? It’s a veritable who’s who of the recent crypto mania, including big names like Dave Portnoy, Adin Ross, the "LA Vape Cabal" and other clowns.

It is the most incredible story we’ve heard in years.

Is this what "winning" looks like? All within the world's longest week, we've got tariffs against two of our biggest trade partners, and Elon Musk giving himself unchecked access to the United States Government's vast treasury funds. It's getting hard to keep up, but we'll do our best to keep you informed.

If a Chinese tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound? You bet it does. In this case the tree is DeepSeek, and the woods are the US stock market, and the sound is about $1.5 TRILLION dollars in value wiped out in a single day. In this episode we'll break down what happened, why the market reacted how it did, why it matters, and more importantly...what happens next. PLUS we talk with CITRINI, the investing wizard who was early to the AI trade and the GLP-1 trade to get his thoughts.

This week's bonus episode is a damn classic you won't want to miss. https://benandemilshow.com
