Why a US Senator Just Said the Fed Should Buy Bitcoin

This episode is sponsored by Nexo, Arculus, and FTX US.

On today’s episode, NLW looks at the increasingly political discourse around inflation in the United States. The Right is claiming government overspending is to blame while the Left is pushing a new narrative of corporate price gouging. Whatever the case, some commentators are proposing increasingly exotic approaches to solving the inflation issue.
