Jim Bianco is the Head of Bianco Research. Hes our go-to source on macro analysis from someone who knows crypto. He always gives us a pragmatic take. 

Jim was early and loud about the initial Fed pivot into rising interest rates, all the way back in March of 2022, before much of the crypto industry really understood how significant interest rates can be. In this episode, he discusses the Balaji $1M BTC bet, the state of the financial system, and answers whether or not the banks are insolvent (or just unprofitable).

Artwork generated from the timestamp [37:00 - 37:23] Let me put this in Balaji terms - I agree Balaji $1M dollars for Bitcoin and I agree in 90but maybe not days, maybe its weeks, maybe its months, maybe its quarters, but its not going to be 90 days. Its going to occur a lot slower, but it will occur overtime.

The Coinbase Long Game 

In this episode, we go over everything you wanted to know from Brianhis reflections on 2022 and his outlook on crypto moving forward. We cover the regulatory situation in America, how SBF infiltrated our halls of power, why Coinbase launched a chain in the worst regulatory environment weve ever seen, Wall Streets understanding of Coinbase, and Brians best advice for the settlers and builders sticking around during this crypto winter.

The last time we had Brian on the podcast was in November of 2021. Weve come such a long way since thenand more recently, he also hopped into a livestream with us in the middle of the FTX collapse last November. It was so good to have him back on, enjoy!

Artwork generated from [26:45 - 27:02]: Crypto is going to outlast any administration, any official, that has the wrong idea. We can go through good periods and bad periods, as long as we keep building. The people who are engaged enough on the civic side who want to do it, thats great, and the people who just want to build, that also great. We need both. I think well get there eventually.
