Chris Hayes and Alex Kantrowitz: Trying To Break the Whole Thing

Tim, it's such an interesting point because the Bitcoin folks, they're the maximalists, right? They think that there should be no crypto outside of Bitcoin and all the attention should be in Bitcoin and everything else is a distraction. However, I would say the one variable here is they're getting rich. And they are making so much money.

Exactly. And you're right. If they start to raise a fuss over what Trump is doing and he says, you know what, let's put somebody in the SEC that's going to actually put some rules in, then Bitcoin 150,000 or Bitcoin 1 million looks less likely than it might in their eyes right now. Yeah.

I kind of look back at the tariffs from the first Trump administration. And as you saw, there was trade wars and tariffs, but Tim Cook pays a visit to the White House. And next thing you know, Apple products can be made in China without any duties on them or any additional duties. And

I think what you're alluding to is really interesting because there might be some pauses that hurt the tech industry. And I think we're going to see over and over again that the tech industry cozying up to Trump is going to pay off for them.
