Completely agree. I’m ready to send them to the first person who says it’s all bs. If they follow through on what they talk about then the future for the US is very promising

Agree! It is almost as if a sort of american aristocracy is emerging via this administration. Truly different from the last Trump run which was more of an "anti-establishment" project.

That’s pretty funny, but you forgot to give the box a shadow. 😁

Lutnick gets the people going

Yeah all in podcast killed it. Makes me optimistic, US able to stave off inflation with stable coins for a few years. BTC SBR , convert to that standard. Trump is doing much better this go around.

Agreed

Chamath won’t shut the fuck up. He doesn’t let anyone finish a sentence. It’s very tough to listen to.

By he's smarter than anyone else in the room. It doesn't matter if we're not smart enough to realize it.

What were your highlights?

Totally agree…both the Bessent and Lutnick interviews are great. Their reads on interest rates, geopolitical risk, and capital flows are as informed as it gets within the fiat system. Lutnick especially is a great storyteller.

It also stands out how consistently these conversations orbit the real issue without naming it: the structural failure of fiat.

There’s a point in both interviews where the logic starts to unravel. Not because they aren’t smart but because the foundational assumptions (central bank credibility, bond market resilience, etc.) no longer hold in a world where Bitcoin exists. They’re still searching for answers within a system that, to many of us, has already lost the plot.

Bitcoin changes the frame entirely. It’s not an inflation hedge. It’s not a risk asset. It’s the exit. Very bullish that Lutnick understands this and has huge skin in the game. Really hopeful that Bessent does, too.

And the fact that some of the most seasoned and powerful macro thinkers in the world still can’t quite (or aren’t allowed to) say that out loud… well, that tells me we’re still early and have a lot of upside ahead of us.

I never would have listened to this because the all in guys are a bunch of gearboxes but on your recommendation I listened to Lutnick. It was definitely worth a listen.

Lutnick is a guy with quite some finance experience and an impressive life story. Did he talk abou his personal 9/11 too?

He did touch on it a bit

Non-bitcoiner pod recommendations?

Will check it out

Would have been even better had they let Bessent & Lutnick finish a thought

His wife wants to renovate ā€œhisā€ house. And joking about tricking his wife. Scumbag vibes. That’s as far as I got.

It’s sad that they have to get involved with politics rather than continue doing what they’re best at.

But dear Lord, I am so happy and incredibly excited to have them.
