127 - Tariffs Crash Crypto: Reserve Hype Fades, Bitcoin Bottom Next?

Over the weekend, tokens like Bitcoin, Solana, XRP, and Cardano surged after Trump announced a U.S. crypto reserve on Truth Social, sparking hope for a bullish run. But on Monday, tariffs on Mexico, Canada, were announced that they were starting again and sent markets tumbling, dragging crypto and stocks like Nvidia down with rising inflation fears. We explore why we’re bearish short-term and if Bitcoin might soon find its floor. Could Friday’s crypto summit turn things around with talk of tax-free crypto? We also debate a Bitcoin-only reserve (Saylor’s take raises eyebrows) and unpack cybersecurity cuts at CISA and NIST—do they leave us exposed?
