Ukraine Escalation, Hungary Election & Why Bitcoin Still Looks Cheap

Show Notes

In this episode of Porkopolis Economics, Matthew examines escalating geopolitical tensions including Ukraine, Russia, Iran, and Eastern European elections, alongside Bitcoin’s current position in its power law cycle. He discusses how Ukraine’s increasing drone capabilities and continued strikes on Russian infrastructure signal a new phase of the war, while Russia faces rising casualties, internal unrest, and growing censorship including internet shutdowns and potential Telegram restrictions. The episode also focuses on the upcoming Hungarian election, highlighting concerns about political instability, Russian influence, and the potential for election interference.
