About this episode
The episode discusses the current economic situation, including oil prices, AI stocks, and Bitcoin developments.
Trump and Bessent's $250 bill photo sums up the current moment, but under the surface the economy is tearing apart. AI stocks are ripping while credit card delinquencies hit 2008 levels. We get into why oil is artificially cheap, why data centers are becoming a political target, and the Bitcoin developments everyone is ignoring. 🔗 https://bitcoinproducts.com In this episode: Trump and Bessent's $250 bill vs the iconic Fed building audit photo Chevron and Exxon CEOs call BS on suppressed oil prices amid SPR drains Micron and Dell hit record highs as AI infrastructure proves it's not 1999 Credit card delinquencies and savings rates flash K-shaped warning signs Why Brad Gerstner is pitching dividends to calm AI data center opposition Iran's Hormuz Safe and Calyx's Cashew protocol validate Bitcoin's core thesis TIMESTAMPS: 00:00:00 - Getting the band back together after Memorial Day 00:01:02 - Trump, Powell, and the $250 bill photo 00:02:34 - The K-shaped economy acceleration 00:03:00 - Oil prices, Hormuz, and strategic reserve draws 00:05:41 - Chevron and Exxon call BS on manufactured oil prices 00:07:30 - AI infrastructure: Micron, Dell, and record earnings 00:09:03 - Why this AI…
