Podcasts about MicroStrategy

The three amigos reunite for the 2025 year-in-review and break down the biggest market takeaways of the year. Dan explains how the TSX delivered rare outperformance versus U.S. markets, powered by financials and a major run in precious metals—while telecoms slid out of Canada’s top market-cap ranks. The crew then dives into AI’s public-market ripple effects: the data center CapEx boom, who’s winning across chips, infrastructure, and power, and why data center REITs may not be the pure-play many investors expect. Simon recaps “Liberation Day” and the tariff-driven selloff that rattled markets, before they close on gold and silver’s breakout, banks leaning on capital markets, Bitcoin’s volatility (and the MicroStrategy trade), and a quiet three-year stretch of weakness in Canadian railways. Tickers of Stocks discussed: BCE.TO , ZBK, AXP, CLS, EQIX, DLR, ORCL, NVDA, AVGO, ASML, TSM, SMH, WSP.TO , ADBE, CRM, NOW, CSU.TO, GOOG, MSTR, CP.TO, CNR.TO Check out our portfolio by going to Jointci.com Our Website Our New Youtube Channel!

In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, CoinShares CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti joins Bryce to unpack how institutional adoption of crypto is unfolding in real time. He explains why Bitcoin ETFs, Ethereum exposure, and digital asset treasury companies are driving growth—but also creating short-term technical pressure through trade unwinds. Mognetti emphasizes that institutions are still in the earliest learning phase, while retail has led adoption, flipping the traditional investment pyramid. He closes by stressing long-term conviction, disciplined portfolio construction, and the importance of not confusing temporary market mechanics with Bitcoin's broader macro trajectory.Check out Gemini Exchange: https://gemini.comCheck out TruDiagnostic and use my code CRYPTO101 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comCheck out Quince: https://quince.com/CRYPTO101Get immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio for just $1.00 today! Get your FREE copy of "Crypto Revolution" and start making big profits from buying, selling,Get immediate access to my entire crypto portfolio.. just $1.00 today!

In this episode, Scott Becker examines what went wrong for names like Lucid, CarMax, Restoration Hardware, and MicroStrategy as they head into 2025.

In this episode, Scott Becker examines what went wrong for names like Lucid, CarMax, Restoration Hardware, and MicroStrategy as they head into 2025.

Bitcoin enters the week on edge as global markets flash warning signs: Hong Kong unveils new crypto infrastructure rules that could unlock $82B in institutional insurance investment, while MicroStrategy's trading volume suddenly surpasses Wells Fargo—cementing its status as a leveraged Bitcoin proxy. Cardano's Charles Hoskinson warns that crypto is becoming a “puppet of Washington” just as U.S. banks gain regulatory approval to act as crypto intermediaries. Meanwhile, James Lavish highlights a troubling macro signal: the Fed is cutting rates, yet long-term Treasury yields are still rising—hinting at deeper structural stress as debt spirals. With regulatory crackdowns, geopolitical tension, and massive liquidity distortions all converging, the crypto market faces one of its most pivotal moments of the year.

Bitcoin takes another sharp leg down, wiping out leveraged longs and pushing market sentiment firmly into the anger phase of this bear market. Thin liquidity, failed dip-buying on leverage, and continued whale selling are making a durable bottom hard to form, even as smaller wallets continue to accumulate. Macro pressure from a hawkish Fed, year-end risk aversion, and broader market unease are weighing on prices, while MicroStrategy's latest Bitcoin buys fail to spark a rally. Still, a more constructive regulatory tone from the SEC on crypto privacy stands out as a rare bright spot amid otherwise gloomy market conditions. Enjoying this content?

This week on Market Mondays we're getting tactical and long-term: your futures trading tip of the week, the biggest mistakes younger investors make chasing fast wins, and the most important investing lessons this year reinforced. We also get personal about the mindset shifts that matter—what we used to disagree with early on, then changed our mind about later, and the questions people should be asking if they actually want to build wealth over decades (not just catch a lucky trade).Then we dive into what's moving markets right now: Oracle as a business and investment, whether the AI narrative tied to SoftBank/OpenAI has pushed expectations too far, and what really caused Friday's sell-off—plus whether it quietly changed market structure more than most people realize. We break down the Coinbase vs. MicroStrategy vs. IBIT debate, talk about whether we're headed toward a real correction or just another emotional shakeout, and if the market is broadening beyond tech or setting up a head fake before leadership narrows again.We also hit the high-volatility conversations: Super Micro's relevance in AI infrastructure, how elite traders handle ES and NQ moving in sync, and whether leveraged ETFs like NVDL/AMDL are advanced tools—or long-term portfolio destroyers in disguise. Plus: quantum computing (obvious leaders vs. sleeper names), and a real discussion on how to balance fitness, family, investing, travel, and content creation without burning out. And we're joined by Derrick Hayes to talk about his business journey and what it really takes to scale.#MarketMondays #Investing #Stocks #FuturesTrading #DayTrading #LongTermInvesting #FinancialLiteracy #WealthBuilding #AI #Oracle #Crypto #Bitcoin #Coinbase #MicroStrategy #IBIT #ETFs #LeveragedETFs #NVDL #AMDL #TechStocks #MarketNews #TradingPsychology #RiskManagement #QuantumComputing #Entrepreneurship #DerrickHayes #EarnYourLeisureSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Mark Longo welcomes Greg Magadini of Amberdata for The Crypto Rundown to dissect the crypto market's weakness following the latest Fed meeting. As Bitcoin (BTC) drops back below the $90,000 level and altcoins like Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) pull back, the hosts analyze critical volatility indicators and options flow to determine if a full "crypto winter" is approaching, or if it's time to buy the dip. Key Discussion Points & Trading Insights Is Winter Coming? Bitcoin has pulled back $4,000 post-FOMC, leading to a highly divided audience poll on whether to buy the dip or prepare for more downside. Vol Skew Analysis: The volatility surface has fundamentally reshaped since the summer, with long-dated Put Skew (puts more expensive than calls) priced in all the way out to 180 days. Greg explains how this positioning suggests IBIT holders are well-hedged. Critical Inflection Point: Analysis of Gamma Exposure profiles pinpoints the $85,000 strike as the key downside level for dealers, separating consolidation from a major crash risk. Understanding Shadow Term Structure: Greg explains this cool Amberdata tool, which acts as a time-lapse for volatility, allowing traders to compare current term structure to historical trends. Hottest Crypto Options: Dissection of trades in IBIT (Bitcoin ETF) and the highly speculative MSTU (leveraged MicroStrategy). Learn why the MSTU upside is a favorite sell for premium collectors. Altcoin Universe: Analysis of Ethereum (ETH) falling below $3,000, Solana (SOL) (SOL) at $125, and their relative volatility against each other. Trading Strategy: Greg explains why he prefers to sell long-term puts on assets like Circle (C) to finance long-term call spreads, capturing high Vega exposure before expected volatility repricing.

Crypto Town Hall's latest session focused on current trends in crypto markets, macroeconomic factors, and the evolving intersection between crypto and mainstream finance. The panel of regular contributors and guest experts discussed Bitcoin's recent price action, MicroStrategy's ongoing Bitcoin acquisitions, regulatory developments, and the impact of AI startups on liquidity and investment flows. Participants explored market sentiment, execution strategies, tokenization, stablecoin adoption, and the question of whether the crypto sector is entering or exiting a "winter". The goal was to provide market perspectives, debate narratives, and equip listeners with actionable insights.

Pierre Rochard joins the Bitcoin Infinity Show to talk about Bitcoin's financial evolution, from his early Lightning Network innovations to defending miners against political attacks and now leading the charge on corporate treasury companies like MicroStrategy and Riot. They dive into the debate over self-custody versus financialized Bitcoin products, the risks and rewards of leveraging debt to stack BTC, and how bridging fiat institutions could accelerate adoption in a world where fiat's collapse looms. This episode unpacks why option value and competitive products might reshape Bitcoin's future, even as self-sovereignty remains the ultimate ideal.

Today's episode examines Washington's increasingly public admission that the market-structure bill is stuck, with key senators signaling that negotiations have become frustrating and unlikely to resolve this year. From there the focus turns to MicroStrategy's return to large-scale Bitcoin purchases, the funding mechanics behind it, and the growing debate over whether the company is executing long-term strategy or edging into risk.

This could be your best trade of the year! Join us as we share December secrets for your portfolio. We also talk about the shifting narratives around climate change, deregulation, and rising energy demand driven by AI. We also explore expectations for low energy prices through the election cycle, concerns about an AI-driven bubble, the continued K-shaped economy, and tactical investing insights such as exploiting year-end tax-loss selling, watching beaten-down sectors, monitoring insider buying, and recognizing mutual-fund distribution dips. We discuss... Political climate influences environmental narratives, pointing out that media references to "climate crisis" suddenly dropped as energy demand pressures changed. The explosion of AI data centers has quietly forced policymakers to pivot from anti-energy rhetoric to encouraging more electricity production and deregulation. How AI companies are now some of the largest new consumers of electricity, making cheap, abundant power a strategic priority for the tech sector. Energy prices are being politically managed to stay low into the midterm elections to keep inflation optics favorable. While AI valuations are stretched, there's unlikely to be an immediate bubble burst because capital flows and earnings momentum remain supportive. How end-of-year tax-loss harvesting creates forced selling in beaten-down stocks, temporarily pushing prices below fair value. Mutual funds selling to raise cash for capital-gains distributions can generate artificial dips that offer tactical buying windows for informed investors. Insider-buying activity is a useful signal in December, since executives often buy when their stock is mispriced due to seasonal pressures. A simple long-term Bitcoin approach: buy when it collapses on fear, hold through chop, and scale out when it becomes euphoric and parabolic. Concerns about the systemic risk attached to MicroStrategy's leveraged Bitcoin balance sheet and how a sharp BTC drawdown could spark forced selling. How crypto ETFs, institutional custody, and Wall Street participation may reduce volatility over time but also increase susceptibility to coordinated market moves. How markets today reward patience, skepticism, and tactical opportunism more than blind buy-and-hold in all sectors.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | Mergent College Advisors Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/best-trade-of-the-year-771

This week on Crypto Curious, Tracey and Blake are joined by special guest Michael Prendiville — CEO of JellyC and fresh off a DECA award recognising his contribution to the Australian crypto industry.Michael brings his trademark pragmatic, risk-aware lens to a big week of news:

For years, firms like MicroStrategy turned buying Bitcoin into a corporate cheat code—raising billions, pumping token prices, and fueling meme-driven hype. But the magic loop has snapped. In this video, we break down why the “infinite money glitch” stopped working, how leveraged ETFs magnified losses, and why even Michael Saylor is now hoarding dollars. From gamma trades to meme economics, this is the story of how hype capitalism hit a wall.Zeke Faux on  Good Work : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exoNex2Yn5wPatrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3eerLA0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Derivatives For The Trading Floor: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://amzn.to/3cjsyPF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Corporate Finance: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ways To Support The Channel:Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinance⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyle

In this episode, Alexander Blume, CEO and Co-founder of Two Prime, joins Jarrett to discuss the state of Bitcoin as 2025 comes to a close, examining the breakdown of the traditional four-year cycle and the impact of institutional players on the market. The conversation also covers the strategic moves of companies like MicroStrategy and the evolving landscape of digital asset treasuries. Looking ahead to 2026, they explore the potential for new financial products and the increasing integration of Bitcoin into mainstream financial systems.Watch On YouTube - https://youtu.be/UZlWZgYwj-8CHAPTERS00:00 - Intro00:21 - Alex Joins The Pod00:38 - 4 Year Cycle Has Been Dead04:10 - Signal If Strategy Fails09:00 - Signal If Strategy Succeeds12:10 - What's Two Prime Looking Forward To In 2026?13:14 - What's Looking Up For Bitcoin In 2026?14:35 - Bitcoin Keeps Looking Better And Better16:36 - Institutions Are Going To Continue To Move To Bitcoin17:50 - 2026 Spicy TakesAlex's X - https://x.com/alexandersblumeAlex's LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandersblum/Two Prime - https://www.twoprime.com/Future Signal is a podcast hosted and produced by Jarrett Carpenter that explores tomorrow's tech today.All of Future Signal's content is not financial advice but rather edu-tainment.

I am excited to share this conversation with my good friend and investor, Michael Novogratz, to discuss the latest in the state of the markets. We are experimenting with a new format, so please send us your feedback if you have any. This conversation strips away the pretense around Bitcoin's volatility, MicroStrategy's leveraged gamble, and the mainstreaming of speculation with two Wall Street veterans who've traded through every crash and euphoria. From forced liquidation fears to prediction markets disrupting casinos and the slow invasion of crypto into trillion-dollar wealth channels, it's a blunt, unvarnished look at how risk, regulation, and the normalization of gambling are reshaping markets right now.

This week, Skippy & Doogles unpack Burry's latest market outlook, shady behavior in prediction markets, and the bizarre death (yes, death) of TiVo. Plus: Apple's massive buybacks, Caitlin Clark's WNBA salary quiz, and why MicroStrategy might be headed for disaster.Join the premium Skippy and Doogles fan club.

This Friday 5 runs through a week defined by Larry Fink's renewed tokenization push, MicroStrategy's move to eliminate default risk, major wealth platforms finally opening their doors to Bitcoin, and a macro backdrop where liquidity interventions are starting to matter again. It all culminates in a price week that didn't resolve the bear case but made the conversation far more interesting, with volatility returning even if direction hasn't. Headlines include: BlackRock's policy-facing tokenization thesis, MicroStrategy's $1.4B buffer, Vanguard and Bank of America shifting access, and the Fed's early signals on easing.

Niels and Alan explore how a fragile macro regime reshapes systematic investing, from a politicised Fed succession to widening cracks in a debt-laden, equity-dependent economy. A shifting bond landscape, rising capital demands from AI and renewed tariff risks challenge the old 60/40 orthodoxy. Listener questions on US policy shocks and the Yen carry trade open a deeper look at when trend helps and when it hurts. The episode culminates in a world exclusive of SocGen's 2026 index changes and the first public reveal of Alan's new paper: The Regime-Adaptive Portfolio, for genuinely resilient, opportunity-aware global wealth compounding intelligently, prudently over the decade ahead.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 - Voiceover and introduction to the Systematic Investor Series00:23 - Niels and Alan open, what is on their radar this week01:27 - Fed succession as a political risk factor and betting markets03:33 - Crypto moves, Vanguard's platform shift and MicroStrategy index pressure05:53 - Listener questions: can constant US policy shocks break trend?06:33 - Trouble for trend or just another regime to endure and adapt to08:55 - Short-term CTAs, Liberation Day and when speed becomes a handicap11:11 - How CTAs are positioned for a yen carry unwind and JGB nuances12:16 - November trend update, five straight positive months and short-term pain13:35 - World exclusive: new SocGen CTA and...

We dive deep into the real tensions shaping the crypto landscape, from Bitcoin's security budget and miner incentives to the rise of arbitrary L1 chains playing the same old ICO game. We explore why NAT and Digital Matter Theory offer a fundamentally different path forward and put the entire crypto ecosystem through what we call the “Alien Test”: if an advanced civilization judged humanity by our digital assets, which technologies would actually pass? We break down the psychology of how people solve problems, why non-arbitrary tokens matter, and how space computing, satellites, and the Type-1 civilization shift directly connect to where Bitcoin mining is headed next. The conversation expands into NAT branding, the Dyson sphere narrative, decentralization risks, the flash crash, and new pressures facing institutional trading desks. We also cover MicroStrategy's positioning, market maker wipeouts, and why the industry keeps repeating the same patterns with new chains. If you're trying to understand how Bitcoin, miner incentives, NAT adoption, and the broader space race fit together, this episode maps out the entire picture. Stay to the end as we address the most common criticisms of NAT and highlight community thinkers like Rossi who continue pushing the conversation forward. Welcome to another chaotic-smart, high-signal episode right before Thanksgiving. Enjoy.

Welcome to The Chopping Block — where Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner cover crypto's biggest moments. This week we're joined by Kevin from the Monad Foundation as we dig into the most chaotic token launch of the year. Monad goes live, CT explodes, and the tokenomics wars come roaring back — vesting, float, FDV, and why everything “just keeps going down.” We break down whether the world actually needs another L1, how hype creates impossible expectations, and how Kevin and the Monad team are handling the spotlight — and the hate. Then we shift to security chaos: Yearn's underflow hack, Anthropic's AI discovering real smart contract vulnerabilities, and “post-quantum” panic sweeping Crypto Twitter. Plus: BTC volatility, MicroStrategy drama, and prediction markets suddenly going mainstream. Show highlights

This week on Market Mondays, we're breaking down the biggest moves in investing, crypto, and global markets. We cover the futures trading tip of the week, this year's most important investing lesson, and why Bitcoin's drop to $85,000 has traders in “extreme fear.” We debate whether the bottom is close, if a fall to $70K or even $65K is realistic, and why MicroStrategy trading below the value of its own Bitcoin may signal either a loss of institutional confidence or the best buying opportunity of the cycle. We also unpack whether Ethereum could fall under $2,000 and how December's market behavior might preview what 2026 looks like.We explore one of the most important conversations for any entrepreneur or investor: If you lost everything tomorrow, what are your first five moves? Ian and Rashad lay out the fastest, most realistic path to rebuilding from zero. We also break down whether to prioritize dividends or growth in today's economy, how much company stock someone at Microsoft should realistically hold, and whether $70K Bitcoin is still a real near-term target. On the macro side, Japan's 10-year yield hits 1.84% (highest since 2008), potentially signaling the end of the global carry trade — with major implications for U.S. stocks, tech, and crypto.We close with silver hitting $59 for the first time ever, posting a 100%+ yearly gain — is now the time to invest? Plus, we review new data revealing the minimum income needed to live comfortably in 2025, with rising housing, food, and healthcare costs reshaping what financial stability really means. And we're joined by Jason Gyama, Founder of the Quarter Zip Movement, bringing strategy, energy, and culture to the conversation.Market Mondays Cyber Monday Deal (48 Hours Only): https://marketmondaysdeal.com#MarketMondays #Investing #Bitcoin #Crypto #Ethereum #StockMarket #Silver #WealthBuilding #Finance #EYL #QuarterZipMovementOur Sponsors:* Check out Square: https://square.com/go/eylSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

November just logged Bitcoin's ugliest performance since 2018, with a seasonally strong month instead turning into a mini crypto winter driven by thin liquidity, excess leverage, and global macro jitters from Japan to the Fed. This episode digs into what really caused the drawdown, whether the pain is flushing out the froth ahead of a healthier 2026, and how to think about the latest macro correlations—plus a fresh round of Tether FUD, new clarity from MicroStrategy on what would actually make them sell, and a mysterious Bitcoin move from SpaceX.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 041: JP Morgan & BlackRock's Coordinated Attack on MicroStrategy Exposed – Banking Cartel vs Michael Saylor's Bitcoin Empire | Brandon Keys (Green Candle)MicroStrategy (MSTR) is under full-scale assault. Brandon Keys, the on-chain wizard and voice behind Green Candle Investments, just dropped undeniable evidence that JP Morgan, Jamie Dimon, BlackRock, and Larry Fink are orchestrating a six-month coordinated attack to crush Michael Saylor's Bitcoin treasury strategy and stop corporations from ditching cash for Bitcoin forever. From sudden margin hikes and MSCI exclusions to “bit bonds” designed to funnel money away from MSTR, the banking cartel is terrified: if Saylor wins, they become obsolete. Yet despite the manipulation, Brandon reveals why this dip is the biggest buying opportunity in years and why, in the end, Bitcoin still wins.Key Topics:Timeline proof of the coordinated attack on MicroStrategy & Bitcoin treasury companiesWhy Jamie Dimon flipped from calling Bitcoin a “pet rock” to quietly attacking MSTRBlackRock & JP Morgan's $500 trillion endgame and “bit bonds” counterattackHow banks are debanking Bitcoin CEOs to reclaim controlOn-chain data showing whales are buying the dip while retail panicsWhy the death of the 4-year cycle is actually bullishSelf-custody: the only way to defeat the banking cartelMacro outlook: money printer incoming and why we're still insanely earlyChapters:00:00 Teaser – “It's been nothing less of a coordinated attack”01:39 Guest Intro – Brandon Keys (Green Candle)02:04 Jamie Dimon's 10-year war on Bitcoin03:28 JP Morgan's sudden margin hike & 25% MSTR drop04:41 MSCI ruling & billions in threatened outflows06:32 Naming only MicroStrategy out of 40 companies07:47 Banks terrified: companies can replace cash with Bitcoin09:14 BlackRock's “bit bonds” & borrow-against-iBit play10:19 The $500 trillion market Saylor is targeting11:08 Banking cartel united against Michael Saylor14:43 Debanking Bitcoin CEOs – Jack Mallers, Swan, Canada17:04 Global macro stress & Bitcoin as most liquid asset19:17 Whales accumulating, retail selling the dip22:09 Self-custody is Bitcoin's true power26:19 We are still insanely early in adoption32:31 Hold 4–5 years = zero fiat losses35:44 Money printer coming soon46:56 Tether, stablecoins & the new dollar recycling scheme52:28 Final message – Self-custody or get rekt by the cartelAbout Brandon Keys:Bitcoin strategist, on-chain analyst, and founder of Green Candle InvestmentsX: @Greencandleit; @keysopen_doorsGreen Candle YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@greencandlePrevious Episode:Bitcoin Privacy Under Attack – Dr. Jack Kruse: https://youtu.be/A0onGcn17fQ

We also discussed what the “American Dream” should look like today if homeownership feels out of reach, and whether dropping $1M into QQQI or SPYI for monthly dividend income is a smart path to financial freedom. Plus, we examined global tensions between China, Taiwan, and Japan, and the impact these conflicts could have on markets in the coming years.We also dove deep into investor psychology — how to stay disciplined when targets don't hit, how to avoid FOMO during red markets, and whether to dollar-cost average or wait for pullbacks in 2025. We covered Novo's epic fall, Dogecoin's collapse, and the growing national debt crisis that could reshape investor strategy for the next decade.

This episode opens with a warning to younger investors who take TikTok advice over historical perspective, especially around claiming Social Security early. Don and Tom walk through the guaranteed 8%+inflation benefit increase from delaying, why “take it at 62 and invest it” collapses under market reality, and how fear is driving a surge in early claims. They pivot to Bitcoin's sharp drop and why crypto speculation is driven by greed, not protection, before teasing Don's upcoming crypto short story. Listener questions cover bad long-term-care/annuity hybrids, overcomplicated “bucket” strategies, responsible portfolio risk, and finally a breakdown of two expensive high-volatility mutual funds—both easily beaten by low-cost index alternatives. 0:04 Message to younger investors about lacking market perspective 1:19 Why TikTok advice on claiming Social Security early is flawed 2:17 The real 8%+inflation annual increase from delaying benefits 2:27 The “take it at 62 and invest it” myth 3:47 Tom recounts Paul Merriman calling his allocation aggressive 4:49 Rising panic-driven Social Security filings 5:21 Don's 69 vs. 70 claiming decision 6:11 Survivor benefit logic many forget 7:42 Imagining a sudden 30% crash—except it's Bitcoin 8:29 Bitcoin's drop from 124K to mid-80s, plus MicroStrategy leverage 9:58 Crypto culture, crypto research, and Don's upcoming story 10:58 Crypto as a greed play, not protection 12:37 Emotions sabotage investing; the plan removes them 13:51 Why risk needs to match the plan, not ego 15:24 Crypto story teaser + Short Storyverses email plug 16:31 Listener question: NY Life Asset Flex LTC pitch 17:49 Why hybrid LTC/annuity products are weak and commission-heavy 19:47 “Bucket” confusion and the need for purpose 21:30 Caller Eugene: $250K “play money” 23:43 Reality check: could you watch $250K drop to $125K? 24:06 Why timing dips doesn't work 25:20 Better uses for excess cash in your 70s 27:08 Tom: time for full planning review at age 77 28:38 Fund analysis: Morgan Stanley Growth A 29:25 Fund analysis: Invesco Equity & Income A 30:30 Why moving to low-cost Vanguard indexes is the logical move Learn more about your ad choices.

The Chopping Block unpacks crypto's DATpocalypse — NAVs collapsing, volumes drying up, and consolidation on the horizon. Plus: Vitalik sparks a wave of quantum panic, what Q-Day really means for Bitcoin and smart-contract chains, and why “qubits per share” might become the next great crypto meme. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. This episode opens with the DATpocalypse: almost every DAT is now below NAV, volumes have collapsed outside Bitmine and MicroStrategy, and the market is finally confronting what happens when issuances outrun demand. We get into consolidation talk, preferred-share experiments, capital-structure pivots, and whether any DAT should actually be selling crypto to buy back shares at a discount. Then we shift into quantum mania. Vitalik's “2028” comment lit up Q-Day fears, and we separate genuine hardware progress from pure panic. We discuss why post-quantum upgrades are simple for Bitcoin but brutal for stateful chains, and how hype alone could trigger a wave of “quantum-resistant” speculation. And yes — the running gag: DATs using quantum machines to steal Satoshi's coins. Tough markets, weird narratives, and institutions quietly holding the line. Let's get into it. Show highlights

Bitcoin's slide has the entire market asking the same question: is this the beginning of real trouble, or the setup for the biggest buying opportunity of the year? This week on Market Mondays, we break down the volatility across crypto, AI, and equities as investors brace for major moves. From Peter Thiel unloading all his Nvidia and cutting 76% of his Tesla stake, to MicroStrategy trading below its net asset value, we analyze whether these are smart exits or signals of deeper cracks forming in the system.At the same time, the tech world is flashing warning signs—Meta is down 23%, Palantir is down 16%, and CoreWeave has crashed over 50%. With Nvidia reporting this week, the entire S&P 500 feels like it's tied to a single stock. Are we watching an AI bubble quietly deflate, or a temporary shakeout before the next run? Meanwhile, consumer discretionary is having its worst month in six months and financial stocks are hitting new highs. We break down whether this rotation into safety is healthy, or a setup for a major reversal.We close the episode with the biggest opportunities hiding in the chaos: which distressed assets might actually be long-term winners, why the bond market is having its strongest year since 2020, and what these signals mean heading into Black Friday and 2026. Plus—we share our hot takes on investing that most people don't agree with. If you want clarity on the markets, sentiment, and strategy, this is the episode you need.#MarketMondays #EarnYourLeisure #Bitcoin #Nvidia #AIStocks #Tesla #MicroStrategy #PeterThiel #Finance #Investing #StockMarket #WealthBuilding #FuturesTrading #CoreWeave #Meta #Palantir #SNP500Our Sponsors:* Check out PNC Bank: https://www.pnc.com* Check out Square: https://square.com/go/eylSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/marketmondays/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
