Pump & $TRUMP ft. Jacob Silverman

Jacob returns to the pod to explain how cryptocurrencies are back (derogatory) and the ways that memecoins are used to assert political and cultural influence while also swindling people. We also talk about the Trump administration’s plans to deregulate crypto, and why, in the end, this really benefits the gambling industry and its attempts to enter every facet of mainstream culture.
