Published On: Wed Mar 05 2025
Description: Is Trump trying to wreck the economy, or is he just ripping off the Band-Aid?  Macro expert Jim Bianco breaks down Trump's economic strategy—tariffs, tax cuts, and shifting focus from the stock market to the 10-year Treasury yield.  We discuss the potential risks of short-term pain, the surprising Crypto Strategic Reserve, and whether this shift could lead to long-term economic stability. Is this the start of a recession or a necessary correction?  Tune in for Jim’s expert take. ------ 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24  https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium  ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🪙FRAX | SELF SUFFICIENT DeFi https://bankless.cc/Frax  🦄UNISWAP | SWAP ON UNICHAIN https://bankless.cc/unichain  ⚖️ARBITRUM | SCALING ETHEREUM ⁠https://bankless.cc/Arbitrum  🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle  🌐CELO | BUILD TOGETHER AND PROSPER https://bankless.cc/Celo ------ ✨ Mint the episode on Zora ✨ https://zora.co/coin/base:0xe97caeb59d8a7e9b4a4d076d3a432cf9ea440402?referrer=0x077Fe9e96Aa9b20Bd36F1C6290f54F8717C5674E  ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 5:53 What is Trump Doing? 12:07 Economic Rebalancing 17:37 Crypto Strategic Reserve 28:52 Tariffs 33:39 Trade Imbalances 38:45 Tariffs & 10 Year Yield 48:28 Recession in 2025? 55:04 Optimistic Future 1:01:22 Risk-On Sector 1:05:07 Closing & Disclaimers ------ RESOURCES Jim Bianco https://x.com/biancoresearch   Bianco Research https://www.biancoresearch.com/visitor-home/   ------ Not financial or tax advice.
