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 Friday, November 8th, and that means it's time for the Friday 5.

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.ly slash Breakdown pod. All right, friends, welcome back to the breakdown.

As you might imagine, this week's Friday 5 is nearly entirely about the elections and the

implications. Hopefully we have some other things to talk about going forward, but obviously

this week, that's where all the attention and energy is. So without any further ado, let's dive into

it. What a week going to bring on N ado, let's dive into it.

What a week going to bring on NLW so we can discuss it. As I've said a few times here, man, I'm just glad, regardless of the results, that it was a landslide, clear victory and that this

conversation is not about the cheating or what may come and what could happen.

Now we get to talk about what is.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think that people were both braced for their preferred candidate losing,

and they were also braced for it being unclear and the utter chaos that would ensue in one way or another.

So everyone at least got

half of that problem solved for them. Yeah. I think that things will settle down in the coming

weeks and months. I really do have an optimistic feeling that people will move on and that life

will go back to Norville and the world won't explode.

I will only do a very quick departure or detour into sort of like the American political

landscape because that's obviously not while we're here. One of my big fears after something

like this would be that the party that lost, in this case the Democrats, sort of try to blame it

on things that aren't, they don't do introspection, right?
