About the episode: 👀🧠
Let's dive into episode 237! Are Trump's tariffs a genius masterstroke or economic chaos? 🤔 We're unpacking the wild ride for markets (especially #Bitcoin! 📈), #crypto's shifting narrative, and whether "Trump coin" actually has... fundamentals?! 😂 (Spoiler: Dinner with Trump for the top holders? Yes, the market reacted 🤯).We're also tackling the future of #AI and the eternal question: form vs. function. It's your weekly dose of unfiltered commentary on finance, tech, culture, and politics – served with our signature edge and a little chaos.
