This is New York mayor Eric Adams. I
was the first American mayor to have my initial three paychecks converted into crypto, way back in 2022. Many people laughed at me, and all I can say is who's laughing now? I've been seeing Wait. Ryan, didn't we already hear this? Didn't we already do this bit?
Yeah. Yeah. There was, like I think I feel like it was, like, three or four months ago, and it was Eric Adams basically saying those exact words. Like, I'm I was the first mayor to get my paycheck in Bitcoin. Who's laughing now? And it's funny to me because he keeps saying it, David.
This is the second time we have heard this.
Yeah. Yeah. And it it just he's such a crypto person now. Right? Just, like, reminding people that he got in early, reminding him that it was, like, it's such a contrary that everyone thought he was stupid, And, like, who's laughing now? Eric Adams is one of us. I think he's actually hosting a a New York City sort of crypto, conference, something like that. That that's also why he was, like, talking about crypto. So complete, complete crypto person. Right.
Right. Yeah. So that that's the the news that this is, being packaged up in is the New York City crypto summit is what Eric Adams is announcing. I I think kinda doing, like, a Trump alignment thing. But it would be great if New York was more crypto aligned. We need to get rid of the bit license as a state. That needs to go away. But I will just answer. That'd be great. He's
only a mayor. He's only a mayor. He can't do everything, but he can definitely buy Bitcoin. He can definitely get his paychecks in Bitcoin. So you know Bitcoin's over a hundred k if he's bragging about it. David, we got a lot to talk about on the roll up this week. First of all, the tariff truce, The US and China. They came to an agreement on tariffs, at least an agreement to pause them. The market is up on the news. I got some macro takes for you. I've been trying to make sense out of macro. I think I got it, man. This week, I think I've got like, I understand what's about to happen. Alright?
You cracked the nut? I'm I'm excited to hear about that. Over in the in the crypto side of things, we got both good news and bad news coming out of Coinbase this week. The good news, s and p five hundred, our our crypto company, the number one crypto company to go public is now in the s and p five hundred. We're gonna talk about that. Bad news, there's a major there's a customer data leak coming out of Coinbase. Hackers are demanding $20,000,000 in ransom out of Coinbase, but, Brian pulls the reverse UNO card, so we'll talk about that. And then I'm going to explain the Internet I'm going to do
I think that's gonna hard be a hard one to explain, to me what the heck that means. Also, Robinhood is acquiring an Ethereum layer too. We'll we'll talk about who and and what's going on there. And, David, you know what's making me kinda bullish on the week? Eric
