TD₿: Bitcoin's Role in the New Economic Order - (a Swan original video) with Hurley
TL;DR: Trump just launched the first U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund, led by a Bitcoin bull. As global trade wars escalate and the Triffin Dilemma unfolds, Bitcoin separates from all assets.
Hey Bitcoiners,
In today’s video, Hurley covers how the global economic order is shifting as trade wars, tariffs, and hyperinflation signal the decline of the post-WWII system. Trump’s new U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund, led by Bitcoin advocate Howard Lutnick, aligns with nations reducing reliance on the dollar.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin outperforms traditional assets, proving to be a superior financial instrument. As institutions and sovereign entities adopt Bitcoin, its role is shifting from speculation to a foundational reserve, solving the Triffin Dilemma. With nations racing to accumulate Bitcoin, a supply shock is imminent. The financial system is transforming—are you paying attention?
