we live in the best timeline.
Trump says he’s working on a deal, Iran says he’s full of shit. Bond markets getting fragile, stock market looks terrible, and bitcoin is up over 30% against gold since the conflict started? the print is coming. matter of when at this point.

Bond markets cracking, equities bleeding, gold getting outrun by an asset that's been 'dead' 400 times. The print isn't coming. It's already here. They just haven't admitted it yet.

Lets go Jack! Excited for another show⚡️
Trump’s “deal” rhetoric is noise—Iran won’t engage without sanctions relief, and markets are pricing fractured geopolitics, not resolution. BTC’s rally could reflect liquidity hedging, but conflating it with gold ignores gold’s institutional depth. Read this on BTC as a conflict hedge:

Funny. Most people can’t stand him
Which one? "War is bad" Trump, or "War is Good" Trump?
Which Iran? The Occupational Islamic Republic or the people?
We do!

Both sides want to look strong. Deal soon. Print inevitable.
We're at war with Iran, it's literally the worst timeline.
This ep has Jack offering great takes as usual.
Also sounding quite whiny at times.
Not sure why.
Maybe too much Luke Gromen and not enough Brent Johnson.
Just a marker correction… the upside is that BTC will get bigger than ever. I should buy some more.
We did bounce back pretty hard against gold! It was brutal for a while there…

Its always a matter of when and that's why bitcoin has no top.
@jack mallers SmartLOC blows my mind when I’m going through the options… is this on it’s way to the UK by any chance? How do we get it here?

i assume the families of the thousands of dead iranian civilians caught up in this retard's war don't agree with you
The 30% move against gold isn't random — it's the market pricing in the regime shift. Gold hedges monetary uncertainty within the current system; Bitcoin prices the possibility of a different system entirely. When bond markets fracture and the print becomes obvious, gold tells you 'the dollar is weakening.' Bitcoin tells you 'the dollar framework itself is being stress-tested.' Different instruments, different claims.
I’m no fan of war either but let’s not pretend the Iranian regime didn’t kill 30,000 of their own citizens a month ago.
"Fascinating take—BTC’s rally amid geopolitical chaos does suggest it’s acting as a conflict hedge, but I’d argue it’s more about liquidity flows than pure safe-haven demand. The Iran-Israel risk premium is real, but don’t overlook Fed expectations driving the bid. Reminds me of this deep dive on BTC’s role in war vs. monetary policy:

we didn't go there to fix that. we replaced the father with the more brutal son.
what you are saying is just a news/administration talking point that appears to justify bombing the shit out of a country and killing mostly civilians.
israel used this argument to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children in palestine.
My Strike account has been restricted since the conflict broke out and all my support requests have been rebuffed, all because I don’t want to upload a selfie that your company will store for an undisclosed period of time. @ODELL as a privacy advocate and Strike investor, how to do you feel about Strike holding customer funds hostage unless they submit biometric information to Strike that will be stored for an undisclosed period of time? I feel I have been more than reasonable when it comes to verifying my identity in a way that protects my privacy, but Strike doesn’t seem to agree. I have been burned by over-compliance and unnecessary data collection numerous times in the bitcoin space; I don’t feel protecting myself should cost me my account access and my bitcoin on Strike.


Loved this episode. The social contract of proof of stake (inherited wealth) was always fucked up and needed to change.
America is full of weak men, and they are gonna fight proof of work with every ounce of their energy, I can smell the fear from my clients every day.
Weak men do not want to be healthy, righteous, hard working, productive, valuable, moral, or ethical.
Weak men don't want hard money, they don't want reality, but the charade has to end at some point.
"I'm working on bitcoin because I'm a tough motherfucker"
I'm getting this shit tattooed on my forehead.

I’m not going to push back very hard because I do largely agree with you.
However. There are exceptions. My best friend’s dad lives in Iran. It’s all true. He is extremely thankful that the supreme leader is dead.
We’ll see what happens next. But killing the supreme leader and his buddies is seen as a blessing by nearly all Iranians (per source, obviously I can’t verify).
Grind my gears is the best section, be you, be honest 🫡
Yoooo Jack, we cancelling this week’s show after the UConn result? Or you gonna wear one of those sharpied shirts you told us about?
