This episode was sponsored by Cardiff & Digital Ascension Group    LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Dropping Bombs delivers its most anticipated return yet with Jake Claver, the SEC-registered crypto wealth manager and Chairman of Digital Ascension Group — back by overwhelming demand to double down on every call he made last time.   From the Genius Act passing to the Strait of Hormuz shutting down, Jake's predictions have been playing out in real time. Now he's raising the stakes — the reverse carry trade unwind, Satoshi's wallets moving, a BlackRock XRP ETF, and a 30–50% stock market drop in a matter of days. He breaks down DAG's new Bitcoin fund backed by Fidelity, why quantum computing is Bitcoin's silent assassin, why XRP is still his only personal holding, and why AI agents transacting 24/7 on crypto rails will blow every GDP ceiling humanity has ever known.   This conversation goes places — Epstein, AI agents, insider trading in Congress, the tokenization of the stock market, and whether the global financial reset has already been scripted.   This is the conversation most people never get access to. Don't waste it.
