TBB021 - Inauguration, Executive Orders, and AI

We kick off discussing the recent presidential inauguration, which was the most watched since Ronald Reagan's. We explore the public's reaction and the meme culture on X during the event. We delve into the crypto community's reaction to the lack of cryptocurrency mention in the president's inaugural speech, and its significance. We then discuss the Trump Coin and Melania Coin mania and we analyze how these meme coins stirred the market, the potential insider trading, and the impact on investor trust, especially after the coins' values plummeted. We then discuss some of the predictions we made at the beginning of the year including Ross Ulbricht's release, executive orders, and the strategic bitcoin reserve. We get into some positive political appointees and discuss the "zero capital gains tax" on US based crypto. Finally we touch on the emergence of the new AI technology deepseek from China.
