Podcasts about Digital currency

Liz Ann Sonders and Kathy Jones discuss this week's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting and the latest interest rate cut. They also analyze some of the details of what is driving the Fed's decisions in light of the government shutdown.Next, Kathy Jones is joined by David Beckworth. Kathy and David discuss the complexities of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet, the broader implications of monetary policy, and the emerging landscape of stablecoins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). They discuss the challenges the Fed faces in managing its balance sheet, the potential impact of stablecoins on the financial system, and what these developments mean for investors. David outlines three potential steps the Fed could take to downsize the balance sheet: asset swaps, managing the Treasury General Account (TGA), and improving ceiling facilities. You can keep up with David Beckworth by following his podcast, Macro Musings, and his Substack, “Macroeconomic Policy Nexus.”On Investing is an original podcast from Charles Schwab.

Today's show is hosted by political cartoonist Gary Varvel, filling in for Todd. Gary tackles the growing darkness in America—not just in politics and culture, but in the spiritual battle raging around us.He points to shocking acts of violence, from public assassinations to senseless stabbings, and challenges the easy “mental illness” narrative. Instead, Gary argues that Scripture makes clear there is a deeper influence at work: demonic deception. From mass shooters who admit hearing voices, to the role of drugs and SSRIs in some of America's most infamous crimes, he urges listeners not to dismiss the spiritual dimension of evil.Gary also connects Bible prophecy to today's world. He warns about the dangers of AI and technology, showing how Revelation's descriptions of global control over buying and selling sound eerily like central bank digital currency and artificial intelligence systems already being built.But he doesn't leave listeners in despair. Gary reminds us of America's founding on biblical truth, the need for revival, and the ultimate hope found only in Jesus Christ. He ends with a powerful call: freedom, morality, and even America's survival depend on turning back to God before it's too late.This episode blends current headlines, Bible teaching, and prophetic insight—challenging, sobering, and full of truth.Freedom Marketplace: https://freedommarketplace.net The Stack: https://www.toddhuffshow.com/stack-of-stuff Email: todd@toddhuffshow.comPhone: 317.210.2830Follow us on…Instagram: @toddhuffshowFacebook: The Todd Huff ShowTwitter: @toddhuffshowLinkedIn: The Todd Huff ShowTikTok: @toddhuffshowSupport Our Partners:https://www.toddhuffshow.com/partners Show Sponsors: https://www.mypillow.com/todd Promo Code: TODD Red, White, & Brand – Text TODD at 317-210-2830 for a 10% discount.SolTea – Heart health made simple.

In this episode, host Jeremy Almond sits down with Mike Peterson, the founder of Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador, and CK Snarks from the Human Rights Foundation to explore how Bitcoin is transforming lives at the community level and beyond.Mike shares the Bitcoin Beach perspective on how a small grassroot project in El Zonte grew into a movement that helped shape El Salvador's decision to make Bitcoin legal tender. What started with paying local youth in Bitcoin for community work turned into a living example of financial inclusion and a circular economy built on digital currency. For many who had no access to banking, Bitcoin became the first tool to save, plan, and participate in the global economy.CK adds the human rights lens, showing how activists around the world are using Bitcoin when traditional financial systems fail. From Venezuela to Ukraine, digital currency has provided a way to fund movements, access money across borders, and resist dictatorships. Together, the stories show that Bitcoin is not just an asset but a tool that empowers people where it is needed most.If you want to understand Bitcoin adoption from the ground up, this conversation gives you the Bitcoin Beach perspective: real people, real communities, and a clear look at how financial inclusion can begin with one small project.

Nick Motz joins Morning Movers to discuss the current state of crypto investing. He believes sentiment is positive based off of additional clarity provided by U.S. legislative efforts like the GENIUS Act. Nick says not only will the changes help bring talent back to the domestic crypto companies but also provide dominance for U.S. dollar backed stablecoins. He addresses the potential demand for U.S. debt and the role of stablecoins in that process.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Was Bitcoin created to liberate humanity from banks—or is it the ultimate tool for financial surveillance? We dissect Satoshi Nakamoto's mysterious origins, the CIA links in early blockchain development, and the alarming concentration of 97% of Bitcoin in just 4% of wallets. Who really controls this $1T market? Explore theories of a "controlled demolition" of fiat currency, BlackRock's sudden crypto embrace, and the energy wars fueling mining farms. Is decentralized money a utopian dream... or a dystopian trap designed by the same elites it claims to defy? Follow the digital breadcrumbs.

In this explosive episode, Christian Briggs returns to break down what nearly happened had Trump not won this term—and the centralized monetary system that was already being built behind closed doors. From Ripple's alleged backchannel deals with Kamala Harris to the FedNow platform's role in launching a commercial CBDC without Congress, Briggs exposes the global push toward programmable money and the power structures behind it. He explains how a coalition of lawmakers, spearheaded by Warren Davidson, Tim Scott, and Speaker Mike Johnson, rewrote the course of American finance by passing the Genius Act, Clarity Act, and Anti-CBDC bill. The goal? Keep crypto markets free, stop central bank overreach, and preserve individual control over digital assets before it's too late. What unfolded on Capitol Hill wasn't just legislation—it was a financial firewall against a global tide.
