    Dexter White returns to discuss why what you thought you hated inStar Wars: The Acolyte wasn't anything different than why you thought you hated Trump's Budget Reconciliation bill or any other "Outrage Du Jour."

    Episode #220 - Vince Lanci and The New American ATM Economy
    Jun 3 2025
    Vince Lanci returns to the podcast to follow up on Episode #213's discussion with Caitlin Long. Vince lays out his argument for why the GENIUS Bill, stablecoins, and crypto will usher in a new era of financial terms enforced this time by the US vs. City of London.

    It's the flipside to the ideas floated by Ms. Long. In short, dollar bulls and bears may in fact be right... but for reasons you haven't truly thought of yet.
