    The $1.5 Trillion Tantrum

    Powell pulls the punchbowl and $1.5 trillion in 'paper wealth' vanishes. I'll unpack Wall Street's meltdown, JPOW's 'maybe we'll cut, maybe we won’t' strategy, and how inflation still runs the show. Then, we take a serious look at the idea of a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Could an executive order make it happen overnight?
