Anthony Pompliano, founder of Professional Capital Management, dives into the controversial topic of tariffs, arguing they could benefit American workers in the long run. He discusses the stark divide between the ultra-wealthy and struggling citizens while questioning if Trump’s tariff execution is effective. Pomp forecasts soaring stocks and Bitcoin in 2025 and challenges the notion that high tariffs can coexist with the U.S. being the global reserve currency. He also emphasizes the need for reshoring manufacturing and vertical integration to bolster the economy.

The bitcoin standard
Saifedean Ammous
The Bitcoin Standard analyzes the historical context to the rise of Bitcoin, the economic properties that have allowed it to grow quickly, and its likely economic, political, and social implications. The book takes the reader on an engaging journey through the history of technologies performing the functions of money, from primitive systems to modern government debt. It explains the operation of Bitcoin as a decentralized, distributed piece of software that converts electricity and processing power into indisputably accurate records, allowing users to perform traditional monetary functions without relying on authorities or physical infrastructure. The book also explores common questions surrounding Bitcoin and its potential as a store of value and a network for final settlement of large payments, challenging government monopolies and offering a vision of money extricated from politics and borders.
