Welcome back to The Breakdown with me, NLW.

It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin, and the big picture power shifts remaking our world.

What's going on, guys? It is Saturday, October 7th, and that means it's time for the weekly recap.

Before we get into that, however, if you are enjoying The Breakdown, please go subscribe to it,

give it a rating, give it a review, or if you want to dive deeper into the conversation,

come join us on the Breakers Discord. You can find a link in the show notes or go to bit.

com slash breakdown pod. Hello, friends, we are back with

another live, or at least post-recorded live discussion between me and Scott Melker around all

of the most important events of the week. In this show, we talk, of course, about the SPF trial and what

it means, but we also dig into the news around current GOP whip, Tom Emmer, potentially being a candidate to be

the next speaker of the House. We talk about the SEC Ripple decision and what it means, and we even

talk a little bit about markets and the lackluster ETH futures launches. It's a great conversation.

I know you will enjoy it, so let's dive in. While it seems that SBF's trial is sucking all of the air out of the room, there's actually

quite a bit of news.

And of course, it's Friday, which means NLW and I are going to give you all the greatest

hits, our Friday 5 with a few honorable mentions as well, one of which, the fact that

Bitcoin quietly just going sideways or rising during this major, major downturn for macro.

Yields are absolutely ripping.

Jobs just came in super hot.

Stocks are seemingly crashing and Bitcoin seems to be traveling its own path.

Love to see it.

Here you guys go.
