Episode notes
Bitcoin As Weekend Market Barometer
- Weekend crypto moves can preview Monday market direction because crypto trades 24/7 while stocks are closed.
- Dan Bird watches Bitcoin Sunday night as a leading indicator for Monday risk appetite.
Export Controls, Not Tariffs, Moved Markets
- The market reaction was driven more by China's broad export controls than by a headline 100% tariff threat.
- Dan Bird frames export controls as a long-term strategic lever, not just a short-term tariff shock.
Supply Concentration Is A National Security Risk
- Critical supply chains (rare earths, drug ingredients) concentrated in China create national security risk.
- Dan Bird warns dependence on China for key inputs leaves the U.S. exposed to geopolitical leveragings.
