Bloomberg Analyst Reveals What Saylor Won't Say Out Loud | Eric Balchunas

Show Notes

Marty Bent talks with Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas about the Strategy investor call, Michael Saylor's Wall Street pivot, and what it means that OGs sold 750,000 Bitcoin while corporations loaded up. They dig into ETF flows, whether boomers make better hodlers than the cypherpunks, and why Bitcoin's debasement hedge matters more than the next headline catalyst. They also debate gold versus Bitcoin, fee wars at Schwab and Morgan Stanley, and why the TradFi merge is inevitable.
