Episode notes
China's Long Game Beats Short-Term Force

- Tom warns strategic Chinese economic moves (EVs, banking) will gain influence if the U.S. keeps lashing out.
Regulation Reshaped To Protect Banks
- Senate changes to the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act favor banks and risk preserving their monopoly.
- Tom argues banning yield on stablecoins intentionally prevents crypto from competing with banks.
Let Stablecoins Return Yield To Users
- Use full-reserve stablecoins backed one-to-one as a safer alternative to fractional-reserve banks.
