ABOUT

President Trump and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin announced a significant slate of upcoming stimulus measures, including deferred taxes and direct payments to Americans (although those details remain to be seen).

On this episode of The Breakdown, 10T holdings CEO Dan Tapiero joins to discuss:

How this forthcoming stimulus might impact the bitcoin narrative
Why some traditional safe havens like bonds might not fair well in the coming markets while others like gold are poised to thrive
Why markets could be positioning for a major bounce back
Why the Fed has more tools in its toolkit than popular media and opinion are suggesting
Why the dollar’s global strength is a major concern
Why bitcoin is the only truly free market in the world
