 I really enjoyed this macro conversation with Danielle DiMartino Booth and James Bianco:
 
‣ Recession vs "No Landing" debate
‣ CPI vs 'truflation'
‣ Remote work, wage growth, AI impact on jobs
‣ Extreme wealth concentration
‣ Stocks booming - when will Fed cut rates?
‣ Fed spending and national debt
‣ Powell's legacy
‣ Election year economy
‣ #Bitcoin  and Jim's passionate take on why spot Bitcoin ETFs mean "we can kiss $500k/coin goodbye"?!!

 Danielle’s my secret crush 💜🧡 
 Yes loved the show.  

ETFs are perhaps against the ethos of bitcoin, but Jim's concerns about them are only relevant IMO if a very significant % ends up in them, which I think is unlikely. Even then, the important part is that people still have the ability to self custody if they choose. 
 Love when Danielle is on the show! 
 😁👍 
 The only thing is when you ask about #Bitcoin and their answer is about Crypto, I know the guy is still at the beginning of the learning curve. 
 I love Danielle but it’s like her smart brain just can’t admit that bitcoin is the solution to most of the problems she accurately describes!!
