Episode notes
Bond Yields May Matter More Than Bombs
- Rising 10-year yields may be Trump's real constraint because war-driven oil pressure raises borrowing costs on America's massive debt stack.
- Ryan Sean Adams notes 5% yields could add $1.2 trillion in annual interest costs, while 4.6% to 4.8% already looks like Trump's political pain threshold.
The Bitcoin Bottom Debate Still Hinges On The Cycle
- Ryan Sean Adams contrasts Bernstein's 150K Bitcoin target with Michael Nato's warning that equities could fall 20% to 25% before crypto finds true deep value.
- Both hosts admit cycle thinking still dominates, with weak consumer sentiment and missing on-chain bear markers undermining easy bottom calls.
The Stablecoin Yield Fight Is Really About Bank Profit
- The proposed Clarity Act compromise would block passive stablecoin yield while allowing narrower rewards tied to active uses like trading or payments.
- Ryan Sean Adams frames this as banks protecting profit, not deposits, because consumers could otherwise earn several percent instead of near-zero bank savings rates.
