BTC257: Bitcoin Mastermind Q1 2026 w/ Jeff Ross, Joe Carlasare, and American HODL (Bitcoin Podcast)

You're listening to TIP. Hey everyone, welcome to this Wednesday's release of the Bitcoin Fundamentals podcast. On this week's show, I have the Mastermind Group back to talk about all things Bitcoin and macro, and we start off by discussing the surprise military raid in Venezuela and what it signals about the shifting global power dynamics. The group debates whether the US would defend Taiwan against the Chinese invasion and analyzes the strategic importance of semiconductors in this equation. We also unpack Elon Musk's prediction that AI and robotics will lead the massive deflation and force a major rethink of economic models.

The conversation spans AI's real-world implications on jobs, content, and even national security. Plus, we look into the Clarity Act and its implications for Bitcoin's markets, stablecoin yields, and Wall Street's role in the space. Finally, we dig into fresh Bitcoin market analysis, long-term price predictions, and how macroeconomic signals could shape Bitcoin's next big move. So, with that, let's jump into the conversation. Celebrating 10 years, you are listening to Bitcoin Fundamentals by the Investors Podcast Network.
