Understanding Geopolitical Conflicts and Their Impact on Cryptocurrency Investments

What is Arthur Hayes buying for 2025?

We recorded this on the U.S election day so we don’t know who won at the time of recording. Regardless, Arthur says the election doesn’t matter. To him, the outcome is the same no matter who’s in power, they will print money.

We talk about the Chinese property bubble and the coming money cannon which Arthur thinks will be bigger than the COVID stimulus. The Fed’s next move, why the treasury is sucking all the oxygen out of the room. We get into his crypto portfolio, what he’s holding and why.
