So, I love jack mallers (npub1cn4…3vle) Love his energy, have admired his innovation in Bitcoin, and I’m a daily user of strike (npub1ex7…vyt9)
But this podcast was just terrible. Terrible in execution (several 3-5 min stretches of just rambling and struggling with his podcast tech) but worse than that is the ridiculous bend-the-knee take on Trump tariffs.
To all bitcoiners - please STOP ascribing your beliefs/desires to everything Trump does. Jack’s idea that Trump’s tariffs are part of some kind of master plan to weaken the dollar and unwind the post WWII financial order is one of the most unmoored fantasy takes that I have ever heard.
Trump has NO master plan. He has always demonstrated that he is a short term thinker that blows with the political winds. In fact, the second he saw the stock market crashing in reaction to his tariffs he looked for an exit and paused everything. He pretended to extract concessions from Canada and Mexico on border issues (announcing things they were already doing as if they were new) in order to back away from his tariffs.
Very often I feel like bitcoiners are too caught up in bitcoin ideology and completely miss what’s actually driving global events.
