LUKE GROMEN: Why BITCOIN is the new OIL

“Now we've strengthened the dollar system. We've weakened the dollar. We've made American industry more competitive. We've driven inflation and nominal growth. And we have provided the world a neutral reserve asset that is now big enough to recycle their dollar surpluses into where they stop buying all of our stuff.”

On this Bitcoin Talk episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, Walker talks with Luke Gromen, Founder & President of Forest for the Trees (FFTT). We dig into a bunch of topics today including the general macro landscape, whether anything stops this train, geopolitical game theory, strategic bitcoin reserves, Trump’s potential policy moves, dollar strength and weakness, what to expect in the coming year and a whole lot more.
