"When something becomes a measurement, it stops becoming a good target." In a world obsessed with digital efficiency and quick fixes, the real currency of a meaningful life remains independent thought, presence, and intentional effort. In this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times, host Chris Schembra sits down with Nishat Mehta, CEO of Lexitas. A Harvard-trained mathematician and computer scientist turned executive, Nishat breaks down how leaders can navigate rapid change by embracing dialectical thinking—holding two seemingly competing truths at the same time. From balancing bottom-line performance with human empathy to shifting parenting styles as children grow, Nishat shares key insights on Goodhart's Law, confident humility, and finding extraordinary meaning in ordinary moments. 10 Memorable Quotes: "The new normal is that it will just keep changing. It really comes down to the ability to accept the change yourself and then lead the change amongst those around you." — Nishat Mehta "Confident humility balances high confidence in one's ability to figure things out with low ego regarding one's own current knowledge." — Chris Schembra "When something becomes a measurement, it stops becoming a good target." — Nishat Mehta "Always find the extraordinary in the ordinary." — Chris Schembra "Everything is on a spectrum... the edges of the spectrum are rarely the right answer." — Nishat Mehta "Efficiency increases consumption if you're not careful." — Chris Schembra "The journey is far more important than the destination... if we are constantly changing, it's because we are succeeding at the things we needed to do before." — Nishat Mehta "We must step out of the tyranny of the 'or' and into the genius of the 'and'." — Chris Schembra "Great work is something you're supposed to do, but recognizing what might seem ordinary is worthy of extraordinary gratitude." — Nishat Mehta "Gratitude doesn't change your circumstances; it changes your capacity to carry them." — Chris Schembra 10 Key Takeaways: Practicing Confident Humility: Balancing low ego regarding current knowledge with high confidence in a team's adaptability to solve complex, unfamiliar problems. Overcoming Goodhart's Law: Why single metrics distort business outcomes, and how pairing competing targets (like quantity vs. quality) maintains operational integrity. The "Genius of the 'And'": Replacing rigid "either/or" tradeoffs with dialectical thinking that unites radical acceptance with proactive change. Navigating Shifts in Family & Parenting: Transitioning from physical, hands-on care for young children to emotional, social mentorship as they grow into independence. Understanding Jevons Paradox in Modern Work: Recognizing how efficiency gains from AI can be swallowed by routine busyness unless leaders intentionally safeguard time for human connection. Harnessing "Collective Effervescence": Leveraging physical experiences, shared sports, and community gatherings to foster genuine human harmony and connection. Lowering Barriers to Access Justice: Applying technology and low-level AI guidance to make legal support more affordable, equitable, and fair. Change Management as a Core Leadership Skill: Shifting focus from day-to-day tactical execution toward building organizational consensus and motivating teams through continuous evolution. Finding Extraordinary Meaning in Ordinary Moments: Cultivating daily awareness to appreciate quiet family routines and ordinary acts of care that are often taken for granted. Embracing the Business Journey Over Destinations: Accepting that strategic goals evolve naturally as progress is made, making the growth process the ultimate measure of success. About our Guest: Nishat Mehta is the Chief Executive Officer of Lexitas, a leading national provider of technology-enabled litigation services and an Apax portfolio company based in Houston, Texas. He stepped into the CEO seat on January 1, 2025, having originally joined the company as President and Chief Operating Officer in March 2024. Under his leadership, Lexitas is launching AI-enabled deposition analysis, expanding its eLaw case-tracking platform, and continuing to serve law firms, insurance companies, and corporations across all 50 states. Nishat brings more than two decades of leadership across data, analytics, and enterprise technology. He most recently served as President of Global Products and Solutions and Chief Product Officer at Circana (formed from the merger of IRI and The NPD Group), where he ran the firm's global media, analytics, e-commerce, software, and consulting divisions. Prior to Circana, he led the customer communications team at 84.51° (Kroger's data-science and personalization arm), directed strategic partnerships at dunnhumby, and spent 15 years at MicroStrategy. He also serves on the Board of Directors of The E.W. Scripps Company (NASDAQ: SSP) and on the Board of Advisors of Adelaide Metrics. Nishat holds a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and a Master's degree in Computer Science, both from Harvard University. He lives in New York with his wife, Shalini, and their three children. His guiding quote, from John Wooden: ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.

Arthur Hayes unveils Flop, a new protocol for AI compute, and makes the case for why Bitcoin is entering a fresh liquidity-driven leg up. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit⁠⁠ 1inch.com⁠⁠ to swap tokenized securities, crypto and more.

Whatever asset you're buying - swap it at⁠⁠ 1inch.com⁠⁠ ======================================================== Bitcoin has been pumping in its sharpest move since March, after the US Treasury said it would double its long-end bond buybacks, and traders liquidated $1.44 billion in short positions within hours. Arthur Hayes, CEO of Flop Labs and CIO of Maelstrom, joins Laura Shin to argue the rally is proof the Treasury and the Fed are already running what he calls soft yield curve control, defending the 10-year near 5% by funding long-end purchases with short-term bill issuance instead of admitting real yields cannot rise. Hayes reiterates his year-end $5,000 target for ETH, traces how Japan's yen crisis could force the Fed's hand, and argues the AI CapEx boom is a real estate bet on depreciating chips that ends like subprime did. He also unveils Flop, his currency for AI agents, and why he is taking on a new CEO role after an already successful career. He also weighs in on Saylor's $218 million Bitcoin sale and reflects on his and his cofounders' decision to shut BitMEX down.

Mentor Sessions Ep. 086: Doomberg and Simon Dixon break down oil markets, the Strait of Hormuz, the end of globalism, Bitcoin centralization, and Michael Saylor's Strategy.The forever war is quietly reaching its endgame, the dollar is set to weaken hard over the next decade, and Bitcoin was attacked from every direction at once — Doomberg and Simon Dixon unpack what real capital already knows.In this deep macro conversation you'll learn why oil never hit $150 and what the sub-$90 Brent price is actually signaling, why the Strait of Hormuz is a card Iran can only play once, and how China may have already won without firing a shot. You'll see Simon Dixon lay out what MicroStrategy's Strategy is really built for — funneling as much Bitcoin as possible into Coinbase and Fidelity — and why holding shares instead of coins makes Bitcoin weaker. You'll also hear a self-described no-coiner and gold bug explain exactly why he'd still tell you to get long Bitcoin as the Western financial system unwinds. This is part one of two.⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 - Intro1:36 - Doomberg and Simon Dixon on Global Shifts2:07 - Shipping Choke Points Unwind Globalism5:10 - Western Media Propaganda Exposed8:14 - How Media Gets Captured by Power12:13 - Real Purpose of Ukraine and Middle East Wars22:38 - Biggest Empire Change in Our Lifetime25:18 - Why Everything Depends on Beijing28:35 - West Captured by Financial Industrial Complex39:43 - Reading Oil Gold and Bond Markets45:17 - Is Blackrock Weaker Than Its Reputation53:25 - Building Mental Models for Information Overload59:23 - What Energy Markets Are Really For1:06:13 - Why Oil Below $90 Risks Greater War1:09:07 - Real Capital Knows the Deal Is Coming1:16:34 - Coldcard Hack and Contested Bitcoin Fork1:17:50 - Doomberg on Bitcoin Encryption Vulnerabilities1:24:00 - Self Custody Custody Risk and Sovereignty1:36:24 - Michael Saylor Willingness to Sell Bitcoin1:39:52 - What Strategy Is Built to Achieve1:48:54 - Where to Find Doomberg and Simon DixonMentioned in this episode: Doomberg's forthcoming book on analysis and mental models, Simon Dixon's book "Game of Money," abundant mines hosting, and BTC Mentor for secure self-custody setup.

YieldMax ETFs chief strategist Mike Khouw explains how the firm's options-based ETFs use covered call spreads rather than traditional covered calls, targeting roughly 80% participation in outsized upside moves while still generating monthly income for investors. Speaking to Proactive's Stephen Gunnion, Khouw outlined the difference: by selling an upside call and buying a higher-strike call above it, YieldMax avoids capping gains entirely when a stock makes an unusually large move. Khouw describes the range of ETFs launched with HanETF, including YMAG, a diversified fund-of-funds across YieldMax strategies; NATY, focused on defence; CHPY, targeting semiconductors and IT hardware; and MSTY, a single-stock strategy built around Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which he describes as primarily a Bitcoin play run by Michael Saylor. On who these products suit, Khouw said they are designed for investors seeking a balance between equity participation and income - a substitute for the dividend-paying stocks that are less common today. He described them as 'equity light': more equity exposure than a bond, less than a pure stock holding, with some downside volatility reduction built in through the spread structure. Khouw noted that options-based income ETFs currently represent only about 1% of the entire US ETF market, and an even smaller share elsewhere, but expects that proportion to grow materially as ageing demographics push more investors to seek income from accumulated assets and as appetite for alternatives to conventional fixed income increases.

In this episode of The Wrap with Chris Whalen, Chris breaks down why the stablecoin boom may be running out of road — giving the Clarity Act less than 50/50 odds and arguing it could strip the yield out of coins, force issuers offshore, and turn the survivors into banks. He makes the case that stablecoins are little more than "prepaid gift cards," lays out why he's bullish on gold and silver as central banks and China chase physical metal, and warns that real inflation — measured by commodity inputs like energy and sulfur (up 150% since the Iran war), not the CPI — is closing in on double digits. Whalen also sees the 10-year Treasury pushing past 5% and mortgages settling into a "higher for longer" 6.5–7%, flags the mortgage sector as the earnings story to watch, takes aim at Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy, points to safer places to find yield, and keeps circling back to one unsettling parallel: today looks a lot like the 1920s, right before the party ended.Thank you to our sponsor, Monetary Metals.

What does it take for a CFO to restore credibility?Every finance leader eventually encounters a defining moment when confidence has been shaken—whether by slowing growth, a financial crisis, or years of eroding investor trust. In those moments, success depends on more than financial expertise. It requires disciplined execution, transparent leadership, and the ability to deliver on commitments when every decision is under scrutiny.In this special compilation episode of CFO Thought Leader, we revisit three conversations that reveal how credibility is earned—and, when necessary, rebuilt.Aidan Viggiano, CFO of Twilio, reflects on stepping into the role during a period of sweeping change. With growth slowing and difficult decisions ahead, she shares why rebuilding confidence began with one simple principle: do what you said you would do.Eric Brown, now CFO and COO of Cohesity, takes us back to the near-existential crisis at MicroStrategy, where he and the leadership team were forced to stabilize the business, make painful decisions, and lead through extraordinary uncertainty. His story underscores the critical partnership between a CEO and CFO when an organization's future is on the line.Finally, Paul Lundstrom, now CFO of Copeland, looks back on his tenure at Flex and earlier leadership at Aerojet Rocketdyne, explaining how stronger financial controls, operational discipline, and consistent execution can gradually restore investor confidence and reshape how the market values a company.Together, these conversations form The Credibility Playbook—a practical look at how exceptional CFOs navigate some of the most challenging moments in corporate leadership and emerge with something every organization depends on: trust.

The biggest Bitcoin bear argument right now is that Strategy could trigger a catastrophic collapse. Larry Lepard takes that claim head on with the numbers, while the debate exposes the real risks, the real math and why Bitcoin may be far stronger than its critics believe.

Even as ETFs and MicroStrategy sell into weakness, natural spot demand has kept Bitcoin from collapsing in what may be the shallowest bear market on record. The real test now is time pain, the grinding boredom that forces out remaining weak hands after the initial price capitulation.James Check, founder of Checkonchain.com, joins me to break down the current cycle through on-chain data and market psychology. His framework distinguishes price pain from the subsequent time pain that historically marks the true bottom.Checkmate examines why short-term holders flipped into high-conviction buyers, why 53K realized price now acts as a floor, the Pareto distribution among Bitcoin treasury companies, and why most copycat strategies will fail in the months ahead.Timestamps:00:56 — Last Day of Bear Feels Worst03:26 — Time Pain Grinds Out Weak Hands05:53 — Shallowest Bear Market Ever Seen08:53 — Spot Buyers Saving Bitcoin From Zero11:14 — Short-Term Holders Are Now Smart Money15:28 — July Bear Bottom: 8-Method Average18:50 — 53K Realized Price Now the Floor23:00 — Buy Bottom 15% and Just DCA28:30 — The AI Trade30:46 — Bitcoin and Gold Share a Rare Moat35:23 — Will Most Bitcoin Treasuries Fail?37:37 — MSTR's Sale of Bitcoin41:28 — Bitcoin Treasuries Follow Harsh Pareto Rule47:30 — Bitcoin Treasuries Next Cycle49:05 — High-Yield Trap?Links: https://x.com/_Checkmatey_https://x.com/_checkonchaincheckonchain.comhttps://charts.checkonchain.comhttp://newsletter.checkonchain.com/Stephan Livera links:Follow me on X: @stephanliveraSubscribe to the podcastSubscribe to Substack#StephanLivera #StephanLiveraPodcast #Bitcoin #BearMarket #OnChain #Checkmate #TimePain #RealizedPrice #BitcoinTreasury #MarketCycles

Michael Saylor siempre defendió una idea: comprar Bitcoin y no vender jamás. Pero Strategy, antes MicroStrategy, acaba de abrir una grieta enorme en ese relato: la compañía ya ha vendido BTC para pagar dividendos de sus valores preferentes y además tiene autorizado un programa para monetizar hasta $1.25B en Bitcoin. En este directo analizamos qué está pasando realmente con Saylor, MSTR y Bitcoin: - Por qué Strategy vendió Bitcoin. - Qué dice exactamente el filing 8-K. - Cómo funciona la maquinaria financiera de MicroStrategy. - Por qué Bitcoin no genera yield ni dividendos. - De dónde sale entonces el dinero para pagar a los inversores. - Qué papel juegan las preferentes, la deuda y la reserva en dólares. - Si esto es una genialidad financiera o una bomba de relojería. - Por qué recuerda, salvando distancias, al escándalo de las preferentes en España. No se trata de atacar Bitcoin de forma simplona. La pregunta seria es otra: ¿qué ocurre cuando construyes deuda, dividendos y promesas de rentabilidad encima de un activo que no genera caja?✅SIN CENSURA en SUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@magnatesladrillo✅¿Necesitas un PSI (Personal Shopper Inmobiliario) para acompañarte a invertir en bienes raíces en la Com.Madrid?: magnatesladrillo@gmail.com✅Si vas en serio «La Biblia del Magnate del Ladrillo» está AQUÍ✅

As Chief Investment Strategist at Hightower Advisors, Stephanie Link spends her days researching the market's winners. Today, she's breaking it all down for us. Stephanie explains why the economy keeps defying the doom-and-gloom headlines, which stocks she thinks will champion the next decade, and why she believes we're only in the third inning of the AI revolution. Nicole and Stephanie get tactical fast: the difference between the Mag 7 and the "S&P 493," which stocks are not worth the hype, and Stephanie's thesis that cybersecurity stocks will end up being bigger than AI. She names her favorite tickers across cybersecurity, data centers, robotics, and quantum computing, and explains whether it's too late to buy NVIDIA. Stephanie also gets real about the so-called "AI bubble," the circular spending debate freaking out investors, and why she bought SpaceX but capped it at just 2% of her portfolio. Plus: what her 19-year-old daughter is investing in, why "FAANG" just got a 2026 update, and the one boring, unsexy ETF Stephanie says every new investor should consider.

On this episode of CoinDesk's Public Keys at the New York Stock Exchange, Jennifer Sanasie is joined by Two Prime Founder and CEO Alex Blume to discuss Bitcoin's range-bound price action, Strategy's accelerating Bitcoin sell-off, and why he's skeptical of the stablecoin consortium behind OpenUSD that knocked Circle lower. In a taped interview from the NYSE floor, Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo breaks down the company's NYSE debut under the ticker SECZ via a SPAC deal, its more than $400 million raise, and its move to tokenize its own common stock on the Solana and Avalanche blockchains. Plus, Lumida CEO Ram Ahluwalia makes sense of the macro picture — from MicroStrategy's shift from Bitcoin's marginal buyer to marginal seller and the bull case for Hyperliquid, to why he sees non-farm payrolls as "noise" under new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh. - Learn more at https://www.bullish.com/. - Register now for CoinDesk's Policy and Regulation event on September 22, 2026: https://policy-regulation.coindesk.com/. - To get market moving news delivered daily, download CoinDesk's mobile app: https://linktr.ee/coindeskapp. - Timecodes: 00:00 Welcome to Public Keys 00:22 Two Prime Founder and CEO Alex Blume on Bitcoin's Range 01:26 Strategy Sells 3,588 Bitcoin to Fund Dividends 03:53 How Bitcoin Breaks From the Strategy Narrative 05:46 Circle Drops 15% on OpenUSD Consortium News 09:13 Securitize (SECZ) Goes Public on the NYSE via SPAC 10:56 Why Securitize Chose a SPAC Over an IPO 12:10 Securitize Tokenizes Its Own Stock on Solana and Avalanche 13:33 Bitcoin, Ether and Hyperliquid ETF Flows 14:37 Lumida CEO Ram Ahluwalia on MicroStrategy's Shift to Selling 16:53 The Bull Case for Hyperliquid 17:37 Non-Consensus Picks: Quality Stocks and ICE 19:09 Why Non-Farm Payrolls Are 'Noise' 20:37 Fed Chair Kevin Warsh Won't Hike or Cut 21:44 Can AI Beat the Market? 23:41 Fear & Greed Index at 24

In this episode, Dave and the panel analyze MicroStrategy's surprise Bitcoin sale and how it dismantled forced-seller and sole-buyer narratives, with the market showing resilience from the lows. Joined by Gary, Lou, Michael, and Jamie, they critique altcoin treasury companies holding hundreds of thousands of BTC but lacking viable models or revenue to token holders, creating zombie projects and exhausted leadership without catalysts. Contrasting this with Bitcoin's hard money thesis amid fiat expansion, they examine Ethereum and Solana's user growth versus challenges delivering value to holders, similar to utility protocols. The discussion covers on-chain spam from inscriptions, governance debates on filtering, misaligned miner and holder incentives, quantum concerns, and the need for greater professionalism to overcome immaturity and attract institutional capital. They conclude Bitcoin remains underpriced with strong long-term prospects as digital gold. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, I sit down with Andrew Walker for a deep dive into one of the market's most controversial companies: Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy). We break down whether Strategy deserves to trade at a premium to its Bitcoin holdings, the hidden risks inside its capital structure, why Andrew is bearish on the common stock but long the preferred shares, and what investors may be missing about the broader "Digital Asset Treasury" trade.  Ask a question for the show https://wetalkmoney.com/question/

In this episode, hosts and guests explore the stark contrast between widespread bearish crypto sentiment and their own bullish conviction, noting how prediction markets and AI equities are thriving while crypto feels sidelined. They break down the major stablecoin consortium announcement involving Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Coinbase, BlackRock and banks, which redirects Treasury yields away from issuers like Circle and triggered sharp stock moves. The discussion covers why a 2022-style leverage implosion is unlikely this cycle due to improved lending models, proof of reserves, and better risk management, alongside MicroStrategy's dynamics and why it isn't a near-term forced seller. They also examine traditional finance's push to adopt stablecoin rails—including potential disruption from X Money—regulatory shifts like the Clarity Act, and why Bitcoin remains undervalued long-term as a digitally native asset amid institutional adoption and cycle patterns.

Chris Whalen joins Julia La Roche on this week's episode of "The Wrap with Chris Whalen" to break down what he calls a "slow motion train wreck" in private credit, where public and private funds alike are getting hammered with redemption requests just as the firms behind them sit on impaired assets like DSCR business-purpose loans. Whalen argues we're living through a replay of 2005 — high tide before the crack — and predicts a housing reset by 2027-2028 ("misery on the eights"), with home prices falling 10-20% and recent borrowers landing underwater. Along the way he covers double-digit inflation driven by energy supply shocks from the Strait of Hormuz, why Chair Warsh can't slow-walk rate hikes, the volatility added by agentic AI trading and ETFs, his long-term bull case for gold and silver, the unwinding of Wall Street's crypto trade, the futility of Mamdani's NYC rent freeze, and viewer questions on inflation measurement and Annaly's common vs. preferred shares. Links:    The Institutional Risk Analyst: https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/  The Wrap: https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/post/theira861Fred Ramberg interview: https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/post/theira860 Signed copy of Seeing Around Corners: https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/shopTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/rcwhalen    Use the code TheWrap2026 for 25% off your first year of The Institutional Risk Analyst https://www.theinstitutionalriskanalyst.com/plans-pricingTimestamps:00:00 — Intro01:09 — Private credit: the "slow motion train wreck" and redemptions02:24 — Rates higher-for-longer, double-digit inflation & the Strait of Hormuz04:02 — The hidden cost of war and inflation as a tax05:33 — Private credit shops buying insurers & DSCR loans06:46 — "It's 2005 again" and the road to misery on the eights07:46 — Signposts: institutional fraud in business-purpose loans08:45 — What a DSCR loan is vs. a residential mortgage11:55 — The private credit gates connection12:32 — Predicting the 2028 housing reset & price declines14:52 — How rising prices have masked defaults15:27 — A 10-20% home price reset explained15:46 — Which markets crack first (Florida, Miami, blue-state Northeast)17:10 — Mom-and-pop investors and fix-and-flips17:49 — Advice for homebuyers: stay below the conforming limit18:42 — AI & semiconductor stock volatility19:15 — Agentic trading bots and market manipulation20:35 — Precious metals: gold below 4,000, silver near 5722:37 — PCE data, sticky inflation & the gold-silver case23:13 — Crypto falling apart, MicroStrategy & BlackRock selling24:33 — CME suing over perps (perpetual futures)25:34 — The NYC rent freeze / Mamdani hot take26:49 — Viewer mail: changing the definition of inflation28:20 — Viewer mail: is the debasement trade over?29:08 — Viewer mail: Annaly common vs. preferred31:03 — What's ahead next week (plus World Cup talk)32:46 — Wrap-up

11 million Bitcoin underwater...capitulation or opportunity? Today's panel explains why the stat is overstated due to custodial ETF and exchange holdings where transfers no longer signal real ownership. They cover record long-term holder conviction, the persistent four-year cycle with possible lower lows into Q3/Q4, and lack of true capitulation without leverage deleveraging. Macro pressures from SpaceX liquidity drains, geopolitics, and inflation are weighed against stablecoins powering dollar dominance, tokenization, and RWAs. The discussion highlights crypto's bifurcation into Bitcoin as neutral collateral versus infrastructure for AI agents and machine-to-machine payments. Special focus on MicroStrategy's STRC yields, MNAV debates, dilution risks, cash runway issues, and “investigation” headlines as law firm class-action PR, alongside current bear market frustration and the constructive long-term outlook.

In this episode, host Mark Longo breaks down a wild, red-dominated trading session for Thursday, June 25, 2026, as a massive tech sell-off sweeps through the major indices. First, we dive into today's featured scan from TheHotOptionsReport.com: the Symbol Pump scan, highlighting massive volume surges in KCAI, MIMI, and FERA. Then, we kick off our daily Top 10 options volume countdown, where we look at the exact strikes, contract volume, and option premiums lighting up the tape. Inside this episode: SpaceX (#10): Falling off its usual #3 spot and testing the critical $150 IPO print. Is the 150 put a coin flip? Palantir (#8) & MicroStrategy (#7): Tech names get shellacked. Palantir hits multi-month lows, while Strategy slides nearly 30% over the past week. The Tech Carnage (#6 & #5): Amazon and Microsoft erase post-Micron optimism with heavy selling. Micron (#4): A wild post-earnings ride. After opening strong and dropping 100 handles, it claws back to finish up 165 handles at $1213.56. We look at the massive action on the 1300 calls. Apple (#2) & Nvidia (#1): Apple drops over 6% after pricing anxieties hit The Street, while Nvidia slides below par ($200) to capture the top volume spot with 3.17 million contracts.

Checkout the WAWD Substack here: https://whatarewedoingonthedesk.substack.com/ In this episode of On the Tape, Danny Moses welcomes James Lavish back to the show for a wide-ranging conversation that goes well beyond Bitcoin. Drawing on his background trading risk arbitrage on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and running the Bitcoin Opportunity Fund, James breaks down why he believes the Fed and Treasury are "trapped" by a looming wall of debt—roughly $14 trillion rolling over in the next year on top of ongoing $2 trillion deficits—and what that means for rates, inflation, and the dollar. Danny and James dig into Kevin Warsh's first meeting as Fed chair and his more hawkish-but-mostly-bark tone, the odds of a July rate hike, and how the war and energy prices are feeding back into inflation. They explore the "hot ball of money" chasing AI and the SpaceX IPO, the K-shaped economy driving retail toward speculative bets, and why James sees a coming rotation of capital out of high-flying AI names and back into Bitcoin. The two also debate Michael Saylor's Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) at length—whether its leverage and perpetual preferred structure leave Saylor in a "trap" or a position of strength—with James arguing the balance sheet concerns are overblown if you believe in Bitcoin long term. James shares how his fund approaches Bitcoin-adjacent energy and AI investments, and Danny closes with his Kalshi picks of the week. --ABOUT THE SHOW For decades, Danny has seen it all on Wall Street and has built his reputation on integrity, curiosity and skepticism that he will bring with him each week. Having traded through the Great Financial Crisis and being featured in "The Big Short" is only part of the experiences Danny wants to share with the listener.

Don and Tom take on one of investors' biggest blind spots: focusing on tiny costs while ignoring the factors that have a far greater impact on long-term wealth. Using a recent Jason Zweig article as a springboard, they explain how taxes can reduce stock market returns far more than the difference between low-cost fund expense ratios. The discussion covers tax-efficient investing, asset location, ETFs versus mutual funds, dividend taxation, capital gains, and why investors should pay more attention to portfolio design than chasing the lowest possible expense ratio. They also dissect a highly tax-inefficient YieldMax fund tied to MicroStrategy and Bitcoin, illustrating how taxes and poor fund structure can devastate returns. Listener questions cover Morningstar's acquisition of CRSP indexes and whether it threatens Vanguard investors, plus whether a retiree working part-time can contribute earned income to a Roth IRA.0:05 Big-picture investing versus obsessing over tiny details0:39 Why fund expense ratios matter less than most investors think2:06 Jason Zweig's research on taxes reducing long-term market returns3:20 How taxes often outweigh fund expense differences4:06 Qualified dividends versus ordinary income taxation5:03 Why investors should pay attention to after-tax returns5:40 YieldMax funds and the hidden cost of tax inefficiency7:19 The dangers of exotic income-focused ETFs7:48 Why ETFs can be more tax-efficient than mutual funds9:15 Tax knowledge as a critical investing skill10:30 Asset location: where stocks and bonds belong11:20 The YieldMax MicroStrategy fund and Bitcoin losses11:58 The truly important parts of financial planning13:15 Listener question from Longmont, Colorado14:17 Morningstar, CRSP indexes, and Vanguard concerns16:00 Why market-cap indexes are unlikely to be manipulated17:16 Morningstar ratings and conflicts of interest discussion17:58 Thoughts on the military-industrial complex19:23 UFL football, soccer, and sports tangents20:47 Listener question about Roth IRA contributions from part-time work21:30 Filing thresholds and earned income requirements for Roth IRAs23:21 Listener questions, voice submissions, and website tools24:08 AI voices and synthetic Don McDonald25:59 Romper Room memories and closing banterQuestions?

MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor took the Consensus mainstage to unveil what he calls the killer app for Bitcoin: digital credit. Saylor explained how his company's STRC instrument, now the biggest and most liquid preferred stock in the world after just eight months, strips yield from Bitcoin's volatility to create an 11.5% tax-deferred return with near-zero volatility. He argued that digital credit is the missing bridge between Bitcoin and crypto, TradFi and DeFi, and that it opens the door to a new generation of yield coins that could transform the $350 billion stablecoin market and beyond. - Timecodes: 00:00 - Michael Saylor at Consensus Miami 2026 01:28 - How Digital Credit Works 04:47 - Bitcoin vs MSTR vs STRC Performance 07:27 - STRC Becomes The World's Biggest Preferred Stock 12:55 - The Bridge To Digital Money And Yield 18:27 - The DeFi Opportunity For Builders 19:46 - How Yield Coins Are Replacing Stablecoins 22:34 - Building The Future Of Digital Credit

The unexpected blowout in the May jobs report just sent shockwaves through the financial markets, adding 172,000 jobs and more than doubling Wall Street's expectations. This undeniable economic strength severely disrupted the Federal Reserve rate cut narrative, causing treasury yields to spike and sparking an immediate repricing across yield-sensitive assets like tech stocks, real estate, and cryptocurrency.In the crypto sector, the liquidation cascade was intensified when MicroStrategy's Michael Saylor sold 32 Bitcoin, cracking his long-standing narrative to never sell and leading to a massive psychology shift among investors. Despite $1.7 billion in crypto value being wiped out in a single day and prediction markets shifting toward a potential rate hike this year, long-term fundamentals remain strong for investors who can navigate the volatility and capitalize on the capital rotation into AI infrastructure.Key Topics DiscussedImpact of the May jobs report on financial markets and stock valuationsFederal Reserve interest rate predictions and surging treasury bond yieldsMichael Saylor's unexpected Bitcoin sale and the resulting crypto psychology shiftBroadcom's AI chip guidance and the subsequent tech stock pullbackThe direct correlation between high treasury yields and asset repricingCapital rotation from cryptocurrency assets into AI infrastructureMassive institutional unrealized losses in Bitcoin and EthereumPrivate debt funds and utilizing asset-backed lending strategiesKey TakeawaysStrong economic data can negatively impact asset prices by eliminating the immediate justification for Federal Reserve rate cuts.The 10-year Treasury yield spiking above 4.5% instantly changes the economics of real estate deals and pushes out expected refinancing windows.MicroStrategy's unprecedented sale of 32 Bitcoin proved that narrative shifts can trigger rapid liquidation cascades in volatile markets.Market pullbacks are healthy corrections that offer long-term investors valuable buying opportunities at discounted asset valuations.Shifting investment strategy toward first-position, asset-backed lending can provide crucial downside protection during periods of market turbulence.Connect & Take Action:Wealth Intelligence Brief: Text "WIB" to 844-447-1555 to get Matty's free macro data, real estate intel, and crypto signals delivered to your inbox 3 times a week.Imagos Income Fund: Text "INCOME" or "DEALS" to 844-447-1555 to learn more about Matty A's private debt fund targeting 10% fixed returns paid out monthly.
