John Pompliano

All right, John, what's the first topic?

All right, Jerome Powell seems to be the guy talking the town right now.

Fed chairman, he's out later this year.

Who do you think is going to be the next Fed chair?

It's like a narrative.

He wants to drive narrative versus looking at the facts.

There was no denial, but it sounds like no apology either.

Of course, he's not saying he did it.

I think the one thing above the noise that people probably care about is our rates going down.

Clearly, that's what Trump, what Nick, their whole team, their administration cares about.

You think we're going to get rate cuts coming in the next few months?

I actually don't see a, I see why Jerome would not like Trump and the administration for coming in and trying to direct something that is supposed to be independent, right?

They're not independent.

you think about bitcoin obviously i'm glad you brought it up uh it's sitting around 92 93 000 right now uh we're actually up a little bit from the end of or from the start of the year this year how important is that like price action now versus like it's a mature asset right it's it's not um i wouldn't call it as mature as some other markets that have been around longer uh but it's definitely moving in that direction how important is that price action versus call it the technology um and like the payment rails that bitcoin lets people access

Well, that asymmetry was probably the big driver for people, right?

Like people are here to make money in Bitcoin.

There's no doubt about it, whether you have a company in Bitcoin or you just own tokens itself.

But it's interesting to see kind of now we're shifting back towards the younger generation is like, oh, hey, if this isn't going to give me a hockey stick, what will in my portfolio?

All right, we got like two minutes here.

So I want to touch on one story that broke this morning that seems to be pretty in the news, I would say.
