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 Sunday, August 11th, and that means it's time for Long Read Sunday.

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