This week, Ryan and David break down the political storm brewing around crypto. From JD Vance's fiery speech at Bitcoin 2025 to the Trump meme coin dinner that triggered bipartisan backlash. They dive into Ethereum's biggest capital inflow yet, as a public company raises $425 million to buy and stake ETH, drawing comparisons to MicroStrategy. They also cover the court ruling that halted Trump-era tariffs, the Circle IPO finally moving forward, and early signs of a “Stablecoin Summer” as banks eye their own dollar-backed coins. Plus, the growing risks of copycat crypto acquisition vehicles, and why some say the next GBTC-style blowup could already be forming. ------

This week, Ryan and David unpack Bitcoin's explosive run to $111K and the macro chaos driving it—specifically, the U.S. Treasury's failed bond auction and what it signals for the dollar. They break down the Senate's landmark stablecoin bill (and Elizabeth Warren's meltdown), Ethereum's ZK miracle that could 100x Layer 1 throughput, and Texas launching its own state Bitcoin reserve. Plus, why Stanley Druckenmiller's portfolio strategy might justify going all-in on crypto—and whether alt season is finally on the horizon. ------

Trump just used information to see what China's next move is. Trump is now preparing for the next phase, he needs to see who will fight against removing taxes.

Trump and the patriots know they need a clean house and Gabbard confirms they are doing exactly that. Operation Hunt and Terminate is now happening in the agencies.

DOGE actions, market/economic conditions, and restructuring have been major drivers of layoffs. US layoffs are at recession levels. Since Donald Trump became president on January 20, 2025, approximately 345,000 jobs have been created, based on available data up to April 2025. This figure comes from a White House memo citing job creation through March 2025, with 228,000 jobs added in March alone. Additionally, February 2025 saw 151,000 jobs added, according to a jobs report. These numbers align with claims from the Trump administration, though they emphasize private-sector growth (54% in non-government sectors) and manufacturing gains (9,000 jobs in February). https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1920847873270264005  https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/1920838414590488902    Trump Says GOP Should ‘Probably Not' Raise Taxes After Reportedly Backing Millionaire Tax “The problem with even a “TINY” tax increase for the RICH, which I and all others would graciously accept in order to   “[Raising taxes on the top level] would be a tax on every small business, every job creator,” Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz said Thursday on CNBC. “That's what Kamala Harris campaigned on. That's what she promised.” “Right now, I'm not excited about the proposal,” Senate Finance Committee chairman Mike Crapo told conservative commentator Hugh Hewitt on Thursday. “But I have to say, there are a number of people in both the House and the Senate who are, and if the president weighs in in favor of it, then that's going to be a big factor that we have to take into consideration as well.” Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, who frequently breaks with his party on economic issues, told the Daily Caller News Foundation on Thursday afternoon that he would be “fine” with the president's millionaire tax proposal. He cautioned that at most two of his Senate GOP colleagues would join him in signing off on the tax hike. Source: dailycaller.com   Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017, which reduced taxes for many, including the wealthy. The law lowered the top individual income tax rate from 39.6% to 37%, doubled the estate tax exemption, and cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%, disproportionately benefiting high earners and corporations. Data from the Tax Policy Center shows the top 1% of households received an average tax cut of about $50,000 in 2018, while middle-income households got around $900.  supporters claim it spurred economic growth. https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/1920553634775118283 https://twitter.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1920841070281175489

In a press release published by the agency on Apr. 24, the Federal Reserve said it will no longer require state member banks to give advance notice before launching or participating in crypto-related activities. Instead, these activities will now be reviewed under the usual bank supervision process. This move marks a shift from the Fed's earlier stance, which called for extra caution due to potential risks tied to digital assets. The Fed also canceled its 2023 guidance that limited how banks could engage with stablecoins, or “dollar tokens.” In addition, the Fed, alongside the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, withdrew from two joint statements made the same year. This policy change follows a wider shift in Washington. In January, the Securities and Exchange Commission rolled back a rule that had forced banks holding crypto to list it as a liability, easing pressure on institutions. The Fed's latest move comes as the Trump administration continues to position itself as pro-crypto. President Trump has publicly vowed to make the U.S. the “crypto capital of the planet,” signaling that more regulatory changes could be on the way.

In this special edition of RugPull Radio, GMoney welcomes Sean Hagan, Head of Media at Bitcoin Magazine, for a powerhouse conversation bridging the Bitcoin movement, American sovereignty, and the upcoming celebration of America's 250th birthday. Broadcasting from the front lines of the monetary revolution, Sean gives listeners an inside look at what to expect from this year's massive Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegasi, ncluding keynote speakers, all-night afterparties, and the first public appearance of Ross Ulbricht since his historic pardon. They dive into Sean's philosophical roots, his orange-pilled journey, and how he went from Robinhood investor to full-time Bitcoiner. The pair unpack the meme magic of Rare Pepes, the mythology of Buckazoids, and the deeper cultural movement driving Bitcoin's rise as the foundation of a new digital Constitution. They also explore tokenization, the future of lightning integration with stablecoins like Tether, and why Bitcoin's strategy is flipping Wall Street, politics, and even the presidency on its head. As talk of space-time manipulation and code-based governance swirls, one thing is clear, Bitcoin isn't just a currency; it's the backbone of a peaceful revolution. Vegas won't know what hit it.

Mexico to Review China Tariffs in Potential Win for Trump Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said her country would review tariffs on Chinese shipments, a move that could give the Trump administration a win in its push to build a “Fortress North America” that blocks shipments from the Asian nation. “We have to review the tariffs that we have with China,” Sheinbaum said at a press conference Thursday. She pointed to Mexico's problems in textile and shoe production, saying: “Much of the entry of Chinese products into Mexico caused this industry to fall in our country.” Chinese companies have shifted production to Mexico and routed shipments through the nation since Trump hit the Asian country with tariffs back in his first term. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently said Mexico has proposed matching Washington's tariffs on China and urged Canada to do the same. “I think it would be a nice gesture if the Canadians did it also, so in a way we could have ‘Fortress North America' from the flood of Chinese imports,” he said.

These thresholds haven't budged since they were set. Adjusted for inflation from 2013 to now, $200,000 would be roughly $263,000, and $250,000 would be about $329,000. Lifetime Learning Credit Phase-Out Limits: This credit, which helps cover education costs, starts phasing out at $80,000 of modified adjusted gross income for single filers and $160,000 for joint filers. Those limits were frozen after 2020 by law and haven't been adjusted since. If they'd kept pace with inflation from their earlier adjustments (pre-2020), they'd be closer to $100,000 and $200,000 today. Child Tax Credit Amount: The base $2,000 per child credit, set in 2017 under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, isn't indexed for inflation. Temporary expansions (like the $3,600 boost in 2021) came and went, but the core amount stays flat. From 2017, $2,000 would be about $2,500 now with inflation. $10,000 SALT Deduction Cap: The state and local tax (SALT) deduction limit, also from the 2017 tax law, caps deductions at $10,000 for individuals or joint filers. No inflation adjustment here either—since 2017,

The three-judge panel of the Fifth Circuit ruling on the case restricted the scope of the injunction to Texas to allow further appeals. DACA is, in my opinion, the toughest part of the illegal immigration catastrophe facing the United States to solve. DACA enrollees arrived in the United States as very young children when their parents or guardians illegally immigrated. They are culturally American and frequently can't speak the language of their home country and have no family or social ties to it. There are an estimated 580,000 DACA enrollees.   DACA, as the Texas judge ruled  has no basis in law. It does not even rise to the level of a regulation. DACA started out as a 2012 memorandum signed by Obama DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano. It was never an executive order. It never went through the rule-making process required by the Administrative Procedure Act. It has never been enacted into law by Congress. Ordinarily, any memo by a cabinet secretary ceases to have validity when they leave office, not so with DACA. When President Trump's DHS secretary rescinded the DACA memo based on the advice of the Attorney General of the United States, the Supreme Court held, in a 5-4 vote (guess how the Chief Justice voted), that the Trump administration was required to follow the Administrative Procedure Act to withdraw a memo that was never subjected to that act, see The Supreme Court Rules Trump Can't End the Illegal DACA Program Because Nothing Matters Anymore. This is the second time this particular case has been heard by the Fifth Circuit and the second time the Fifth Circuit has ruled DACA unconstitutional; see Fifth Circuit Rules DACA Is Illegal but Somehow It Keeps on Moving – RedState, The case is headed back to the Supreme Court, minus the rather stupid issue of whether a single memo by a cabinet secretary can masquerade as the law of the land.

In the Atlantic Ocean, a system of connected currents, called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), moves water throughout the world's oceans powered by a combination of winds and ocean density. It not only distributes the ocean's heat, moisture, and nutrients, but regulates the Earth's climate and weather. As the climate is continuously changing and the atmosphere is warming, many scientists fear that fresh water from melting polar ice sheets could significantly disrupt—or collapse—the AMOC. While a decline of the AMOC would have grave consequences, a collapse would be truly catastrophic. In a new paper published in Nature Communications, scientists found that the AMOC has not declined in the last 60 years.

In 2024, 364 major companies with annual revenues exceeding €10 million filed for bankruptcy — a 30 percent increase over the previous year. This marks a stark contrast to 2020, the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic when 292 such companies went bankrupt. The hardest-hit sectors include automotive suppliers, mechanical engineering, construction, and healthcare.   Automotive suppliers have been identified as the most at-risk sector for insolvency in 2025, with one in six major bankruptcies in 2024 stemming from this industry. The transition to electric vehicles, declining car production, and weaker demand in key markets like China have exposed cracks in the sector's foundation.   The construction industry took a heavy hit last year, with bankruptcies rising by 53 percent.  Source: zerohedge.com https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1877127164719423792  Poland, Turkey, India, and China were the major buyers during this period.

CNBC reported: Federal Reserve officials at their December meeting expressed concern about inflation and the impact that President-elect Donald Trump's policies could have, indicating that they would be moving more slowly on interest rate cuts because of the uncertainty, minutes released Wednesday showed. Without calling out Trump by name, the meeting summary featured at least four mentions about the effect that changes in immigration and trade policy could have on the U.S. economy. Since Trump's November election victory, he has signaled plans for aggressive, punitive tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada as well as the other U.S. trading partners. In addition, he intends to pursue more deregulation and mass deportations. However, the extent of what Trump's actions will be and specifically how they will be directed creates a band of ambiguity about what is ahead, which Federal Open Market Committee members said would require caution. https://twitter.com/YahooFinance/status/1854617758895325185?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1854617758895325185%7Ctwgr%5E8e409946574174b6243eee5ce85223e94ae2ecf5%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.

Luongo reflects on the impact of Trump's appointment of conservative judges and the Democrats' efforts to maintain control in certain jurisdictions. He discusses Europe's economic collapse, with concerns about the Euro's free fall, instability in the UK, US-German bond spreads, and tensions between the US and Russia. Luongo discusses Trump's options regarding a weaker dollar through protection tariffs, deregulation, and lower cost of capital. He explores market volatility due to central bank interventions and speculates on the implications of inflation, political tensions, and changes in power in Canada. Regarding oil, Luongo critiques undervalued prices and their impact on various economic aspects. He shares his thoughts on Judy Shelton's idea involving gold as collateral on the yield curve as a potential solution to the country's fiscal crisis. Luongo encourages listeners to focus on solutions rather than problems and discusses differences in economic policies under Powell-led Federal Reserves between Trump and Harris administrations. He expects that 2025 will be a new type of crazy.

This sweeping restriction covers an estimated 264,000 acres of federal land and effectively halts new energy exploration in the region. Under the guise of environmental stewardship, the regime claims the move is in response to requests from Native American tribes, conservationists, and outdoor sports enthusiasts. But critics argue this is another clear example of Biden's commitment to strangling domestic energy production in favor of appeasing radical environmentalist groups. The regime's proposal begins a 90-day public comment period and triggers a two-year moratorium on new oil, gas, and geothermal leases in the area. The lands will remain accessible for mining activities, leading some to question the consistency of the regime's environmental policies. More from Reuters: Source: thegatewaypundit.com Administrative Reversal: A future administration could choose to reverse or modify this decision. For example, President-elect Donald Trump, set to take office, has expressed intentions to ramp up domestic oil and gas production. This could mean rescinding or altering the withdrawal order if he chooses to do so upon taking office. Legal Challenges: The decision could face legal challenges from industry groups or others who oppose the restriction. If successful, these challenges could lead to the decision being overturned or modified by court order. However, given the current legal framework, such challenges would need to navigate environmental laws and public interest considerations. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1873777174320152967  .

Biden used the student loan forgiveness plans to buy votes and now that he lost the 2024 election, he has abandoned his plan and left millions of borrowers in lurch. Joe Biden unilaterally announced a massive forgiveness of student loans last August to buy the Gen Z-Millennial vote in the 2022 midterms. The Trump Transition team is working to immediately rescind Biden's student loan forgiveness plan.

U.S. authorities arrested dozens of members of the Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua during recent operations in two major American cities. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said 16 suspected gang members were nabbed Tuesday in Aurora, Colorado, after the criminals were linked to a home invasion and kidnapping at an apartment building that Tren de Aragua had taken over. That came less than two weeks after federal agents handcuffed 22 suspected gangsters in New York City during raids in Brooklyn and the Bronx.

Since the Gold Reserve Act of 1934, the Federal Reserve has been required to transfer all its gold to the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In exchange, it received gold certificates, which are not redeemable for actual gold but represent the gold held by the Treasury at a statutory price. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York acts as a custodian for gold owned by various entities, including the U.S. government, but does not own this gold itself. Thus, the Federal Reserve cannot own gold directly but can hold gold certificates as part of its balance sheet. Bitcoin: The Federal Reserve is not legally allowed to own Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency directly. This aligns with the broader regulatory stance that the Federal Reserve, as a central bank, focuses on monetary policy and the stability of the U.S. dollar, not on holding speculative or digital assets like cryptocurrencies. However, there have been discussions and proposals, particularly from some political figures, suggesting the establishment of a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve" where Bitcoin would be purchased by the Treasury or another governmental entity, not directly by the Federal Reserve. These proposals often aim to treat Bitcoin similarly to strategic reserves of other commodities like gold or oil, but they would not involve the Federal Reserve owning Bitcoin. https://twitter.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1869504734882934852 https://twitter.com/TheBTCTherapist/status/1869507247526793481   https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1869754948516446307 Yes, Donald Trump did advocate for getting rid of the debt ceiling. In a phone interview with NBC News on December 19, 2024, Trump stated that getting rid of the debt ceiling entirely would be the "smartest thing [Congress] could do" and that he would support that entirely. Its called the debt ceiling for a reason, when we go back to sound money can the corrupt just borrow, no. If they cannot borrow do we need a debt ceiling. nO The concept of the debt ceiling in the United States was created with the passage of the Second Liberty Bond Act of 1917. This act was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson on September 24, 1917.

Data going back to the turn of the millennium shows that Greenland's ice-covered sub-regions have been getting incrementally colder year after year. Greenland's ice-free sub-regions, conversely, have ever-so-slightly warmed during the same time period due to an increase in “population density.” The findings, which are based on more than 31,000 satellite recordings, suggest that a “total collapse” of the Greenland ice sheet is not going to happen in the next few months like the World Economic Forum (WEF) claims. Antarctica barely warmed in 70 years   At both the North and South Poles, climate conditions are hardly as dire as the climate cultists would have us all believe.

After a two-day meeting of its monetary policy committee in Washington, D.C., the Fed announced it would move its rate target to 4.50% to 4.75%. Investors anticipated the move after the central bank's bigger half percentage point cut at its September meeting.  Source: washingtonexaminer.com Powell says he would not resign as Fed chief if Trump asked for his resignation  Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said Thursday that the president does not have the legal power to fire or demote him. When asked whether he would step aside if President-elect Donald Trump asked him to resign, Powell simply said: “No.” Source: cnbc.com Legal Basis: Section 10 of the Federal Reserve Act specifies that members of the Board of Governors, including the Chairman, can be removed "for cause" by the President. However, what constitutes "for cause" isn't explicitly detailed in the law, but traditionally, it has been interpreted to mean serious misconduct like inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office. Policy disagreements generally do not suffice as cause for removal. Practical Considerations: Legal Challenge: If a President attempted to remove the Chairman without clear cause, the Chairman could potentially challenge this in court, which might lead to a Supreme Court decision defining what "for cause" means in this context. Federal Reserve Structure: Even if removed from the chairmanship, the individual might still serve as a Governor if their term hasn't expired, potentially retaining influence over policy through voting rights on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). Trump's tariffs will contribute to the US economic boom Trump's tariffs (coupled with his reduction in the corporate income tax for American producers) would encourage businesses to build new factories in the United States.  In his commentary “Trump's Most Misunderstood Policy Proposal,” Cass pointed out that Americans, not foreign workers, get the wages when products are produced in the United States.  He also pointed out that manufacturing drives long-term growth: Manufacturing drives innovation.
