Why Is Trump Nuking Markets? | Felix Jauvin

1000x Podcast

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Trump's Gambit: The tariff chaos might be a high-stakes strategy to isolate China, forcing allies to choose sides and share the burden of the US security umbrella.
  2. Buy the Blood (Carefully): With equities down ~20% and VIX elevated, it's time to cautiously scale into risk assets, accepting potential short-term pain to catch an eventual rebound.
  3. Bitcoin's Edge: De-globalization and reactive global stimulus position Bitcoin favorably, potentially decoupling (or at least outperforming) traditional assets in the near term.

Are Stablecoins the only good crypto use case?

blocmates.

Crypto
Key Takeaways:
  1. Stablecoins Reign: Forget moonshots; stablecoins are crypto's clearest win, providing real-world utility and attracting both corporate giants (Tether, Circle) and even government attention.
