Summary

Today we discuss The Trade Wars — a chaotic but opportunity-filled moment as Trump’s tariffs shake global markets, traders panic, and prices drop instead of rise. We dive into why early deleveraging might’ve saved the system, how Taiwan and Vietnam are already folding, and why a market crash is a buyer’s dream. Plus, oil’s collapse to $60 puts pressure on Russia and drops prices everywhere. And for the first time, Bitcoin holds steady while everything else burns — as the U.S. quietly embraces crypto with a Bitcoin reserve and stablecoin banking.

0:00.0	Well, there's a better way to do this.
0:08.8	Let me show you a better way.
0:15.7	You don't have to be another face in the time.
0:20.0	Well, here we are live on a Monday morning, April the 7th, 2025, just a few minutes late on our start because of some things I was wrapping up with my wife.
