Hey all, before we begin, I've got some exciting news to share. We've been working on something a little wild behind the scenes. It's called Unshade On Air, a revamped livestream series and podcast feed that takes you way beyond the headlines. It features sharp, maybe even controversial, takes on major events and the kind of on chain intel that never makes it to your feed. It premieres this week and it's packed. Way more shows, way more often, each one laser focused on a different slice of crypto and finance. First up is Decks in the City, where the wallets are cold and the takes are hot with
I think in ten years, I go on to say every single Fortune 500 company is that somehow.
I will remind everybody in the crypto world, if you think crypto people find a way to do this, there's literally a dude who stole a military vote from Argentina over, like, debts in hedge fund world. So, like, people are definitely gonna be barging in here and looking to do some wild stuff.

Stablecoins may have to follow very quickly because that's what you're gonna need to exchange those assets. So 3,000,000,000,000 may be materially low, as I'm starting to think through it. I don't know the timeline when it shifts, but I think we're gonna be much bigger.

So the senate has advanced 60 to 40 a bipartisan deal to end the government shutdown. It does appear that the word is there are votes in the house. This will fund key agencies like the USDA, the VA, etcetera, for full year 2025, others through 01/30/2026. The Democrats have secured rehiring of furloughed workers and a December vote on extending the ACA tax credits. Progressives are pushing back saying the deal concedes
Yeah. Totally. Also, I just wanna say it's, it's fun to reverse the roles here because I've had you on my show a couple times, and now you get the host and ask me questions. So this is just I love I love it. Love to see it. Love to see in the host seat. Yeah. A couple crosscurrents, for me that I've been looking at. One is it's really interesting comparing back in 2018.
