How China Is Breaking Bitcoin's Nasdaq Correlation: The Path to $150K BTC by EOY - Mel Mattison
Show Notes
Mel Mattison breaks down the Trump administration's strategy of "threading the economic needle" with their "salsa and sour cream" approach to fixing the US economy. He explains how Bitcoin is likely to divorce from the NASDAQ, predicting a $150,000 BTC price by year-end and a gold revaluation to $3,000/oz. The conversation covers diminishing Federal Reserve power, plans for a sovereign wealth fund with Bitcoin and gold, potential elimination of income taxes under $150,000, and foreign policy risks that could derail economic reforms. Mel outlines market correction timing and his personal investment strategy amid the reset.
