Markets just erased $3.6 trillion in 90 minutes while Bitcoin dropped 5 percent and silver collapsed 10 percent. At the same time, the jobs report shocked analysts and government hiring hit historic lows. Bears are screaming Bitcoin to zero, but BlackRock, Coinbase, and long term allocators are quietly buying.

Is Bitcoin still just a digital store of value, or is it quietly evolving into the financial engine of a new on-chain economy? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Callan Sarre, Co-Founder of Threshold Labs, to explore what happens when the world's most recognized crypto asset stops sitting idle and starts becoming programmable capital. We recorded against the backdrop of a sharp market correction that wiped out value across crypto and traditional assets alike, making for a timely and honest conversation about volatility, maturity, and why Bitcoin's next chapter may be defined by utility rather than price speculation. Callan explains how the rise of ETFs and institutional flows is reshaping ownership, while decentralized infrastructure is working to ensure users can still access the asset's underlying power. At the heart of our discussion is tBTC, a trust-minimized bridge that moves native Bitcoin into DeFi without handing control to centralized custodians. Callan breaks down how Threshold's decentralized custody model works in practice and why removing single points of failure matters in a post-FTX world. We also explore the behavioral barriers that have kept long-term holders from putting their BTC to work, the real risks behind Bitcoin yield strategies, and the infrastructure required to make these tools accessible to a broader audience through familiar Web2-style experiences. The conversation also takes a global turn as we look at why Asia is accelerating Bitcoin innovation, how regulation is driving institutional adoption in Western markets, and what the shift from DAO-led governance to a lab execution model reveals about the realities of building at scale. Looking ahead five years, Callan paints a picture of an integrated on-chain financial system where Bitcoin can be borrowed against, deployed, and settled instantly across shared liquidity rails, while still preserving the principles that made it attractive in the first place. So if Bitcoin becomes productive capital and the majority of financial activity moves on-chain, what does that mean for traditional finance, for long-term holders, and for the next wave of builders? And are we ready for a world where the most secure monetary asset also becomes the most composable?
As CJ continues to struggle to navigate his family’s ongoing difficulties, he FINALLY managed to record a new DHP episode. This is a follow-up to the previous DHP episode (#283 “We Are Ruled by Psychopaths”), in which he delves into some topics not covered much, if at all, in that episode, including but not limited to: the difficulty of defining ‘psychopath vs. sociopath,’ reasons that non-psychopathic people might in some situations behave very similarly to a psychopath, the ‘Lucifer effect,’ how institutions tend toward psychopathic behavior, and more.

Send a textSelling crypto to fund life decisions can feel like cutting off future upside. We sat down with Tobias van Amstel, co-founder and CEO of Altitude, to unpack a smarter path: borrowing against assets like BTC and ETH so you can unlock liquidity while staying exposed to growth. From mortgages to market mechanics, we translate DeFi lending into simple mental models that make sense for founders, marketers, and anyone curious about finance that serves real needs.We start with what's broken in traditional lending: banks love your salary but struggle to lend against diverse assets. Tobias explains how on-chain collateral changes that dynamic, turning selling into a choice and letting both large funds and everyday savers access the same lending rails. We dive into trust signals that matter—transparent rules and reserves, audited code with real uptime, and teams that stand behind their products—so you can spot red flags before you click “borrow.”Then we decode yield. Not all returns are created equal, so we map the four main sources in DeFi: borrower-paid interest for lenders, trading fees for liquidity providers, real-world asset yields brought on-chain, and protocol incentives. Tobias shares how to weigh sustainability, liquidity, and risk so your returns aren't just numbers on a dashboard. For first-time borrowers, we get practical: wallets, security basics, gas, and why integrated on-ramps and loan optimizers can dramatically reduce friction and find best rates without hopping between protocols.We also explore why building financial infrastructure demands aviation-level rigor. In consumer apps, a bug irritates; in DeFi, it can vaporize funds. That's why testing, audits, conservative releases, and ongoing monitoring are non-negotiable. Finally, we look ahead to AI agents. Because blockchains are transparent and programmable, agents can analyze public data and act safely with scoped keys and guardrails—something closed, credentialed TradFi systems struggle to enable. If the industry can preserve open access—where a billion-dollar fund and someone with a hundred dollars share the same opportunities—DeFi will fulfill its promise to democratize finance.Enjoy the conversation, share it with a friend who's on the fence about DeFi, and leave a quick review to help more people find us.

Ray Dalio says the monetary order is breaking down and the signs are everywhere. Yield curve control, exploding debt, CBDCs, and a regulatory battle over Bitcoin are converging fast. Goldman is loading up, banks are fighting over stablecoins, and Washington is racing to lock in the rules. This is not noise. This is the endgame for fiat and the case for Bitcoin.SPONSORS✅ Lednhttps://www.nmj1gs2i.com/9W598/9B9DM/?source_id=podcastSimply Bitcoin clients get 0.25% off their first loanNeed liquidity without selling your Bitcoin?

From fear and skepticism to Ghana leading Africa in crypto regulation - and the brutal truth about why Bitcoin isn't a get-rich-quick scheme, the 21 million unit cap that makes it behave like digital property and land where scarcity drives value as more people want in, the Ghana virtual assets bill that puts the country ahead of the United States in crypto legislation, and why disposable income isn't about having money you don't need - it's about either earning too little or spending too much, while the real question becomes: are you utilizing your talents or are you timid and afraid, because if you can set aside just 10% of your income and commit 80-90% of that into the stock market and 10-20% into Bitcoin, or simply split it 50-50 if there's no stock market access, you position yourself for long-term wealth that compounds over time instead of chasing quick cash that disappears as fast as it came, and the mobile money lesson proves everything - when it launched in Ghana in 2009 the banks called it an amusing experiment that wouldn't amount to much, only 300,000 people used it for the first three years, but once Bank of Ghana allowed vendor access in 2014 with friendly regulation it exploded to over 60% citizen adoption, and the same trajectory is coming for digital assets as telcos and banks realize over the next one to three years that if they don't offer crypto products they will be disrupted and left behind. In this raw episode of Konnected Minds, host Derrick Abaitey sits down with Dr. Hans who dismantles the dangerous "crypto is gambling" narrative keeping Ghanaians locked out of the digital wealth revolution, revealing the exact moment when understanding that Bitcoin was created solely to be digital property like gold and land - not to do fancy things but simply exist as 21 million units where supply and demand determine value with no central control, when Ghana passed the virtual assets service providers bill and became one of the first countries in the world to have crypto legislation even before the United States finalized theirs, when the realization hit that this bill means more demand for the asset because regulatory clarity brings institutional and retail confidence, when the question "if I invest in BTC today how long should I give myself" exposed that most people think investment means quick cash but the real answer is for people thinking long-term because nothing good in life is rushed, when the three types of people in the game became clear: those looking for quick turnaround, those in for the long term, and those who don't understand that everything worthwhile takes time to grow just like planting a seed or going through school from class one to university, when Jay Morrison's quote hit different: "I pity the person who gets a million dollars before they're a millionaire" because if you woke up tomorrow with a million dollars in your bank account what would you do with it, when the apartment conversation in Villagio six years ago revealed that if you opened your bedroom and saw loads of cash two things would happen - you either go mad or you finish that money in two weeks - because there's a preparation stage that prepares you to handle wealth and that's why slow growth is important because you build resilience, when the foundation of a house analogy made it clear that foundations are never built in a day or even a week because it takes time to allow the building to sit beautifully, when the disposable income question forced people to ask themselves: do I have money I don't need, and if not does that mean I'm not earning enough or I'm spending too much. Over the next one to three years telcos will allow individuals to purchase crypto and digital assets just like mobile money, and banks globally - whether Chase, Bank of America, or Barclays - will realize that if they don't offer digital products they will be disrupted and left behind. This isn't motivational wealth-building talk from Instagram crypto gurus - it's a systematic breakdown of why Bitcoin is pure supply and demand with 21 million units and no central control, why Ghana passing a crypto bill before the US is phenomenal and signals more demand for the asset, why long-term investing beats quick cash schemes because slow steady growth builds the resilience and money management skills needed to handle wealth, why disposable income is about either earning more or spending less and every person needs to audit whether they're utilizing their talents or being timid and afraid. 300,000 users to 60% national adoption proves that friendly regulation unlocks mass participation, and why the next one to three years will see telcos and banks integrate digital assets or get disrupted - making now the time to get educated, get exposed, and get positioned before the masses flood in.

In this KE Report Daily Editorial, we chat with Joel Elconin, co-host of the Pre-Market Prep Show and founder of the Stock Trader Network, to dissect a volatile day of trading that saw a mid-morning "waterfall decline" across the broad averages. Joel provides a deep dive into the shifting market internals, moving beyond the headlines of the recent jobs report to explain the structural changes currently driving price action. From the disruption of the software sector to the sudden resurgence of traditional value plays, we cover the critical trends every investor needs to watch. Discussion Highlights: The Catalyst for the Sell-Off: Joel identifies the existing home sales data, which came in significantly lower than expected, as the primary trigger for the mid-morning market reversal. The AI Software vs. Hardware Divide: A look at why software giants like Oracle (ORCL) and Shopify (SHOP) are facing intense pressure, while hardware and chip makers like Micron (MU) and Seagate (STX) continue to find support. The Great Rotation into Value: Analysis of the flight to safety as investors move capital into "tried and true" consumer staples such as Coca-Cola (KO), Walmart (WMT), and Costco (COST). Real Estate and Paper Wealth: A sobering look at the housing market, specifically the decline in Toronto's median sales prices to pre-pandemic levels and the resulting evaporation of "paper wealth." Technical Outlook for the Bottom: Joel shares his strategy for identifying a market floor, emphasizing the need for consolidation and a clear catalyst before "taking a poke" at new positions.

This week on Kliq This, Kev and Sean go everywhere. And I mean everywhere. It starts with Bitcoin vs gold, market volatility, paper assets versus physical assets, and how fast trillions can disappear when the market sneezes. From there it turns into conspiracy theories, precious metals, and why trusting anything "on paper" might be the biggest gamble of all. Then Kev recaps a Milwaukee trip where he was treated like royalty… until housekeeping tried to kick him out of a literal tribal chief's suite. From hotel horror stories and privacy paranoia to room service etiquette, airline lounges, bidets, and the unspoken rules of using someone else's bathroom, this episode goes fully off the rails in the best way possible. On the wrestling side, the guys dig deep into modern booking philosophy, Gunther's heat, AJ Styles' future, and why some stars don't need titles to matter. There's real talk about WrestleMania main events, Roman vs Punk, Drew McIntyre's positioning, and how much "real" emotion still exists when two pros get nose to nose. Plus, insight you won't hear anywhere else about money, miles, and why leaving cash on the table is the ultimate sin. And yes… it all leads to a Mount Ashmore debate you didn't know you needed. Kev breaks down his picks for hottest female athletes across sports, explaining not just the looks, but the attitude, swagger, and athletic edge that makes them stand out. It's funny, unfiltered, wildly inappropriate at times, and exactly why Kliq This never sounds like any other wrestling podcast. Unpredictable, uncensored, and somehow still insightful.

The crypto markets are in the midst of absolute madness, and this episode of The Crypto Rundown breaks down every twist and turn of this high-stakes soap opera. Host Mark Longo is joined by Bill Ulivieri of Cenacle Capital Management to dissect a week that saw Bitcoin plunge to $60K only to stage a dramatic turnaround. In this episode, we dive deep into the "MSTR Effect"—has MicroStrategy officially stolen the throne from Coinbase as the crypto market's primary bellwether? We explore the massive volatility spikes, the impact of "vibe coding" on market analysis, and the surprising resilience of the IBIT ETF during a period of intense capitulation. In This Episode: Bitcoin Breakdown: Analyzing the 10,000-point swing from $60K back to $75K and the "widows and orphans" state of BTC volatility compared to equity proxies. The MSTR Drama: A look at Michael Saylor's relentless buying and why MicroStrategy might be the "amplified" crypto play of the decade. Altcoin Universe: Why Ethereum (ETH) found a "perfect trend line" at $1,700 and why Bill is eyeing the Canton Network (CC) as a hidden institutional gem. 0DTE in IBIT: How the addition of intra-week expirations is changing the game for premium harvesters. Circle (CRCL) & Beyond: Analyzing the wreckage in Solana, XRP, and Doge, and finding the deals hidden in the firestorm.
SUMMARY DEL SHOW Wall Street arranca la semana en negativo antes de una agenda macro pesada: empleo el miércoles y CPI el viernes; suben rendimientos y eso presiona a tech. $HIMS cae fuerte tras dejar el semaglutide “copycat”, mientras $NVO sube; la FDA endurece postura contra compuestos cuando ya no hay escasez. TotalEnergies $TTE acuerda 1 GW solar para data centers de $GOOG / $GOOGL en Texas y $BTC vuelve a caer por debajo de $70K.
Everybody was screaming “gold is done”… and I got on Twitter and said the opposite: this is the perfect day to BUY gold. Not trade it. BUY it. Because while the internet arguing about who the next Fed chair might be, the real story is simple: the dollar is still under pressure, the world is still unstable, and money always runs to safety when the chessboard gets messy. I'm breaking down why gold popped right after the hate, how to stop letting red days make you invent “scuba diving” price targets, and the one question you MUST ask before you sell anything: “Has the reason I bought it changed… or am I just emotional?” We're also talking Bitcoin's pressure, Strategy buying more BTC while price drops, why the IMF is stress-testing a dollar crack, and why China is bold enough to even ask the world: “Should the yuan be the next reserve currency?” This is how you stop reacting and start moving like you got a plan.Horizon Trust - Keep More.

This was one of the most violent crypto flushes in years. Bitcoin plunged to $60,000, a 17% intraday collapse that ranks among the 10 worst drops in BTC history. More than $2.4 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated in 24 hours, pushing Fear & Greed readings to levels last seen during the FTX collapse. BlackRock's IBIT ETF recorded its highest trading volume ever, while Strategy shares sank after posting a $12 billion Q4 loss. Traditional markets also struggled, but the damage was far more contained. The S&P 500 fell 1.2%, the Nasdaq slipped 1.6%, and software stocks remain under heavy pressure amid AI disruption fears. U.S. layoff announcements surged to their highest January level since 2009. Overseas, Asia closed mostly lower, Europe fared better, and one rare positive headline emerged as U.S.–Iran negotiations began in Oman, easing geopolitical stress.

Markets are deep in risk-off mode as crypto winter tightens its grip. The ECB and Bank of England both held rates, with the BoE signaling it may be nearing the end of its easing cycle. UK political turmoil hit the pound, while tech stocks continued to unravel — AMD plunged 17%, Qualcomm disappointed, and Alphabet slid after announcing a massive increase in AI spending. Precious metals saw extreme volatility again, with silver crashing 15%, gold slipping, and oil falling after the U.S. and Iran agreed to hold talks. In macro data, German factory orders surged, but Eurozone retail sales fell, raising concerns about consumer demand. In crypto, Bitcoin dropped to $69,000, pushing the market back into Extreme Fear. Bhutan appears to be selling BTC it has mined since 2019, ETH hovered near $2,000, and scrutiny intensified around Trump-linked World Liberty Financial. CME also hinted it may explore issuing its own token.
