1. 500K Bitcoin Predictions & Market SentimentThe crew discussed the recent wave of bullish sentiment led by industry voices like Adam Back, Bitfinex analysts, and Vibes Capital. Adam Back predicts $500K–$1M this cycle, while Vibes Capital cites $100B in anticipated corporate treasury demand plus potential U.S. government Bitcoin buys. With consistent ETF inflows, particularly BlackRock's IBIT, and support levels holding near $100K, sentiment is peaking.2. Treasury Demand & Speculative Attack NarrativeMicroStrategy's playbook is now being followed by a growing list of public firms using debt and equity to acquire Bitcoin. The panel emphasized this as a "speculative attack" on fiat—unlocking Bitcoin exposure for capital pools that can't hold spot BTC directly. With more than 500,000 BTC already under corporate control, the race is on.3. Coinbase Hack: $400M FalloutA major hack at Coinbase leaked sensitive customer data (names, addresses, partial SSNs, balances, and IDs). While no private keys were exposed, the breach raised concerns about platform risk. The team praised Coinbase's $20M bounty offer but reiterated the importance of security hygiene and moving to self-custody solutions like Swan Vault.4. Digital Scarcity & FT FiascoFinancial Times drew ire for downplaying Bitcoin's innovation, comparing it to teeth. The panel explained how Bitcoin solved digital scarcity using proof-of-work and decentralized consensus. Lynn Alden's and Pierre Rochard's responses underscored the persistent misunderstanding from legacy media.5. Macroeconomics & Treasury PolicyThe group reviewed new U.S. spending legislation further widening deficits—echoing the "Nothing Stops This Train" meme. Tariff-driven inflation, CPI surprises, and Walmart's price hikes were also covered, with mixed views on future inflation trajectories.6. Global Adoption & Corporate MomentumRecent sovereign and institutional moves included Chinese and Indian firms acquiring BTC, 21.co's big buy, and Abu Dhabi's sovereign fund adding exposure. Meanwhile, Swan's own CIO Ben Workman emphasized the moral and fiduciary pressure mounting on corporate leaders to explore Bitcoin treasuries.

ITIN Requirement: Required for tax filing in the U.S. Sellers need it if they don't already have one from renting out their property.

Stocks took a breather after a 9-day win streak. Kevin Green cites headline risk and technical pullback as key drivers. Despite this, he notes the S&P 500 (SPX) 50-day moving average remains a crucial support level. Kevin also weighs in on the E.U.'s plan to tariff $100B in U.S. goods if trade talks fail and the potential impact on markets. He expects a "very difficult" FOMC meeting, with a focus on June rate cuts and quantitative easing.

A Coinbase insider just leaked that the U.S. is dumping $100B in gold for Bitcoin—and a massive buy could be incoming. If true, this marks one of the boldest financial pivots in modern history.

Shares of Apple (AAPL) fade after its 2Q earnings beat on the top and bottom line. Apple declared a 4% increase to its dividend as well as authorizing an additional share repurchase program up to $100B. Kevin Green points out Apple's China sales just snuck by above Street estimates, but adds that Services and Wearables segments both slightly missed. Jeff Pierce is looking forward to the earnings call as the iPhone maker adjusts to the new tariff policies under the Trump Administration.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

The state of California is a disaster caused by Woke policies. San Francisco spent almost $3 billion over the past seven years on “homeless services”, Los Angeles is actively trying to let as many prisoners out of jail as possible, New York seems to think that evicting non-paying tenants is “violence”, and Chicago is plagued by swarms of kids looting and ransacking the soon-to-be-departing Walmart. Things are not going well in America these days, and it almost feels as if it is intentional. While governors across the country are actively trying to destroy their states, Joe Biden is working hard to end the 200+ year American experiment by giving $100B+ away to foreign countries, threatening nuclear powers with WW3, and allowing multiple countries to de-dollarize while ignoring the many issues at home. What a time to be paying attention.

From OTAs to new intermediary pathways and faster funding mechanisms, I'll show you exactly how to position yourself before these opportunities hit the street. Whether you're brand new or have years of past performance, this episode is your roadmap to getting ahead of the curve. Stop waiting, stop second-guessing—2025 is the year to take your place in the new era of government contracting.

The Resistance Front (TRF), linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. Agencies say bookings dropped overnight, with customers demanding refunds—even for non-refundable trips—leading to operational chaos. In response, SpiceJet, Air India, and IndiGo have added emergency flights out of Srinagar and are offering waivers on cancellations and rescheduling for bookings made before April 22, valid through April 30. The attack has derailed Kashmir's fragile post-pandemic tourism recovery. India-Saudi Arabia Boost Energy Ties with Refinery Pact During Prime Minister Modi's visit to Jeddah, India and Saudi Arabia agreed to jointly set up two oil refineries in India, part of a broader push to strengthen strategic ties. The agreement was sealed during the India-Saudi Strategic Partnership Council meeting co-chaired by Modi and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The two countries reaffirmed Saudi Arabia's $100 billion investment commitment, spanning energy, fintech, infrastructure, and health. Additional MoUs were signed on space collaboration, healthcare, and postal services, and new committees were created for defence and tourism cooperation. Though Modi cut short his visit after the Kashmir attack, momentum on bilateral ties remains strong. Lodha vs Lodha: A Real Estate Rivalry Brews in Mumbai In a bold move, Abhinandan Lodha's House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) is stepping into Mumbai's competitive real estate market—directly challenging big brother Abhishek Lodha's Macrotech Developers. HoABL announced three vertical projects, including a landmark American Culture Center in Marine Lines, a Chowpatty beachfront project, and a joint venture in Naigaon, with a total investment of ₹2,500 crore and projected revenue of ₹3,500 crore. Known for its plotted development outside Mumbai, HoABL now aims for 50% of its revenue from vertical projects within 2-3 years. With approvals in place and construction beginning by year-end, Mumbai's skyline may become the new Lodha battleground. SEBI's Fast-Track Dispute Resolution Plan Draws Mixed Reactions SEBI's latest consultation paper proposes a faster, tech-driven online dispute resolution (ODR) framework for the securities market, including direct arbitration for claims over ₹10 crore. Legal experts back the move for greater certainty and accountability, but warn that mandating a 100% deposit to appeal arbitral awards could discourage retail investors. The proposal also seeks to differentiate regulatory vs. contractual disputes, a grey area that's caused confusion in the past. SEBI plans digital filings, 21-day conciliation timelines, and a round-robin panel allocation system. While hailed as a step forward in improving market efficiency, experts urge flexibility for complex or multi-party cases. Public feedback is open until May 12. Luxury Shoppers Face 1% Tax on Big-Ticket Buys From April 22, 2025, India's luxury buyers will need to factor in a 1% Tax Collected at Source (TCS) on purchases over ₹10 lakh, as per a new CBDT directive. This includes high-end items like watches, artworks, collectibles, yachts, designer bags, shoes, sports gear, and even home theatres and racehorses. The tax applies to the entire transaction value once the ₹10 lakh threshold is breached. “This aligns with global trends in tax transparency and tracking high-value consumption,” said Munjal Almoula of BDO India. The move is part of a broader strategy to widen the tax base and monitor luxury spending.

It's come a long way from its game developer roots and the NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference (GTC) 2025 edition was so well attended, it was straining the capacity of the San Jose Convention Center, its long-term home. John Abbott returns to discuss what debuted and the implications with host Eric Hanselman. NVIDIA has taken a starring role in AI and this year's GTC had all of the glitz of a Hollywood production – CEO's of major tech partners delivered a video tribute and Disney-designed robots cavorted on stage with CEO Jensen Huang. The event reinforced the extent to which NVIDIA has become a systems and software company, rather than simply a supplier of high performance silicon. The event highlighted not only new GPU's and rack-scale compute systems, but also countered the concerns around declines in GPU demand raised by the release of the DeepSeek AI models. The shift to reasoning models for AI is expected to drive further demand. The impacts on energy consumption and associated pressure on energy transition plans weren't mentioned, but are a large part of the larger discussion around AI.

HIGHLIGHTSGeological Potential: Montauban shares key characteristics with Broken Hill, one of the world's most lucrative deposits, valued at over $100 billion in metals.Rhodonite Discovery: Recent sampling confirmed the presence of rhodonite, a mineral strongly associated with Broken Hill-type deposits, reinforcing the geological parallels between the two systems.Advanced Exploration: ESGold is using ambient noise tomography to scan depths up to 400 meters, revealing previously unexplored mineral-rich areas.Near-Term Production: Tailings production is set to begin in the next 6 months, generating cash flow without diluting shareholders. Year 1 revenue estimated at $23M based on current gold and silver prices.Strong Financial Projections: The PEA projects $106.9M in revenues from tailings, with potential upside reaching $315M over the next five years. A revised PEA is in progress.Fast Payback: The project is expected to pay back in just 0.9 years at $1,750 gold, underscoring its financial viability.ESGold Corp. ($ESAU / $ESAUF) is leading the charge with its modern approach to exploration and production. The company's use of cutting-edge technology potentially unlocks the full potential of Montauban, positioning it for both near-term revenue and long-term discovery upside.COMPANY INSIGHTS "For the first time, we are applying a disciplined, modern exploration approach to Montauban, similar to how Broken Hill was systematically uncovered," stated André Gauthier, Senior Geologist, ESGold. "This deposit shares many geological hallmarks with one of the most famous VMS deposits in the world. Our goal is to use modern technology to answer the key question—just how big is Montauban?""Broken Hill was not fully recognized until advanced exploration techniques were applied-this is the exact playbook we are following at Montauban," added Brad Kitchen, President of ESGold. "Our ANT survey will give us the first-ever deep visualization of the deposit, guiding our next drilling phase to unlock the true scale of this mineralized system."WHAT'S NEXT ESGold expects to finalize underground scan results within the next 4-6 weeks. These will provide critical insights into Montauban's mineralization, guiding the next phase of exploration. Drilling is set to begin within 6-9 months. With a rising gold market, a strategic Quebec location, and a self-funded approach, ESGold is poised for strong, sustained growth.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) is investing another $100 billion in U.S. chip production, bringing its total commitment to $165 billion.

Kathy Fettke explores how this massive investment, along with President Trump's AI infrastructure deal with Oracle, OpenAI, and SoftBank, could drive property values, job growth, and demand for commercial space.

As the ineffective, bloated bureaucrats take out their checkers, President Trump and DOGE are playing 9-dimensional chess, scoring checkmates and landing blows to the establishment. CNN tries to sound the alarm but gets blistered by Mr. Wonderful. DOGE announces it's already cut $100B from the ridiculous federal budget as more Americans begin to see politicians howling about fraud being exposed as GUILTY and COMPLICIT. Trump's deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller drops a 100% guarantee that DOGE is protecting Americans' information, not stealing it.

For marketers spending billions on digital ads, this isn't just concerning—it's a crisis.This week, Elena and Rob are joined by "The Ad Contrarian" Bob Hoffman. As a former agency CEO turned industry critic, Bob shares his unfiltered perspective on digital advertising's dangers, from invasive tracking to rampant fraud.

This week, Jason and Brian dive into the chaos surrounding Elon Musk's growing influence in government tech, with young engineers playing key roles in his takeover. DOGE employees are being ordered off Slack, USAID is crumbling, and Musk's war with U.S. officials rages on. Meanwhile, AI takes center stage with the EU banning high-risk systems, DeepSeek's security concerns, and Amazon throwing down $100 billion on AI advancements. Big Tech moves are equally absurd—Google is now open to AI-powered weapons, Meta might scrap risky AI models, and Tesla is struggling in Europe thanks to Elon's latest blunders. Meanwhile, states are rushing to pour taxpayer money into so-called “strategic cryptocurrency reserves.”In entertainment, The Devil May Cry anime's ridiculous theme song is a standout, Mythic Quest returns, and Beast Games looks promising. AI controversially helped The Beatles score a Grammy, and Denis Villeneuve is making Dune 3 because, well, fans demanded it. Over in reboot land, Sarah Michelle Gellar may return for a Buffy revival on Hulu with Chloé Zhao at the helm, while Neil Gaiman finds himself in serious legal trouble. Gadget fans get a look at the Anker Zolo charger, a Google search trick to dodge AI summaries, and Apple's latest social feature. Also, say goodbye to Apple's AR glasses before they even had a chance to shine.Dave Bittner joins The Dark Side segment with updates on cybersecurity, including a wave of ransomware payment refusals and the Andersons' infamous eviction from Disneyland's most exclusive club. Pirates in China, Disney park music, and tracking yourself via in-app ads round out the discussion. Closing out the show, a shout-out to Snap's CEO for supporting LA wildfire recovery and a nod to SoberOutfitters for keeping things clean.
