Chapter 1: What insights does Anthony Scaramucci share about Trump and crypto?
So the banks, I'm going to give this analogy to you guys. The banks are the cab companies and Brian Armstrong and Coinbase and Tether, they're Uber. Okay, they're coming in, they're going to eat their lunch. And so we need that 35 year old capital allocator to be 45 and then 55 and you're going to see this thing really pop.
Chapter 2: Why does Scaramucci believe crypto regulation will pass?
What do you want to talk about, Bob?
You're famous because you're like, you know, in WWE, you're like the evil villain who goes against the other side. You were in the White House for 11 days.
Chapter 3: What is the origin story of the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF?
Probably the greatest thing that ever happened to you.
That makes me the evil villain. Hold on, hold on. By the way, the Dow did drop below 50,000 in case you guys weren't watching.
Chapter 4: How is SkyBridge Capital pivoting towards Bitcoin?
Here we go. Go ahead.
What has Trump done well for the economy? What has he done poorly for the economy in your eyes?
Well, first of all, I was at consensus 18 hours ago, flew straight home to be here for Anthony Pompliano. So let's give it up for Anthony Pompliano. What an amazing event you put together.
Chapter 5: What demographic challenges does Scaramucci see for Bitcoin's future?
And you deserve all the credit in the world for all the things that you do for the community. So the objective answer on Trump, and I was at an event last night actually in Hong Kong with a couple of the senior government officials there.
Chapter 6: How does Scaramucci view the importance of compromise in Washington?
Richard was there from Binance. It was a good group. Asked the same question, very objective. There's good things about Donald Trump, but if you're being objective, there's bad things about Donald Trump.
Chapter 7: What role does Scaramucci's politics podcast play in his career?
Now, he's a Gemini. Pompliano is a Gemini, right? So let me tell you about the Geminis. They got two people inside of one body, right?
Chapter 8: What are Scaramucci's final thoughts on the future of Bitcoin?
The good news for Pomp, there's two good people inside Pomp, right? But Trump, there's like one angel and one devil, right? And so he's got very good instincts. He's definitely better than Kamala Harris for this. group of people and for crypto. His detractors will say, well, crypto went up and now it's back down. I think that's, frankly, more cyclical to the market environment.
It's less about him. And I think the regulatory stuff that he's done for this industry is game changing for the industry. So he's a net positive, you know, significant positive, not net, like meaning significant positive. But here's the problem with him. And I told you this last year, and I'm probably going to repeat myself, is that you've got to eat everything.
You can't just pick the he's pro crypto. I like that. He's a tax cutter. I like that. He's good for financial services regulation. He's pro growth. I mean, we could debate the tariffs, but I think you have generally been more right about the tariffs. I've been generally more wrong. I thought the tariffs would have done more damage to the economy.
But it turns out that the companies, you know, 80 percent of them, they ate the tariff. So I give you credit for that. But hear me out for a second. When you are telling the international community that you're going to invade Greenland and you are putting troops in Vermont and training for a Greenland invasion and those troops are hiring lawyers.
Because they're like, OK, we're going to be going up against a NATO company, which NATO country was actually a violation of a congressionally sanctioned treaty. And they're now talking to lawyers. So if the president tells me to go attack Greenland and we're allies with Greenland, what do I do? I don't think we should be doing that. That's just me. I don't think we should be doing that.
And it does blow back into the industry because you guys are, well, how is that related to Bitcoin and the Clarity Act? Let me tell you how it's related. His adversaries look at that and say, OK, I'm not going to give Trump a win. Okay, look what he's doing in Greenland or look at how he's doing this. And so I'm going to vote against or stall the Clarity Act.
Now, I don't know your opinion about the Trump coin, the Melania coin, but I said last year that stuff hurts us, doesn't help us, because I think he took $700 million out of that, according to the Wall Street Journal. And I think people look at that and say, OK, probably shouldn't be doing that as the president of the United States. And so guess what they did?
They put all these bells and whistles in the Clarity Act to prevent that. Right. And that slowed down the act. Do you think it'll get passed? I do. I think it'll get passed. And I think it'll get passed in a version of it that the people in this room will not love. You'll look at it and say, OK, the banks want on that. These people want on this other thing.
It's not going to be a libertarian ideal of a bill. But I have said to Brian Armstrong and I've said to other people, I was with Brian in Davos, the enemy of progress is perfection. And since he brought it up, I have an 11 day Ph.D. in Washington scumbaggery. So I can tell you how these guys operate. OK, you got to get something done.
