    The AI Trade Is Repeating the Dot-Com Cycle | Mark Yusko Jun 18, 2026
    Show notes

    The Last Trade: Mark Yusko, CIO of Morgan Creek Capital Management, joins to call the SpaceX IPO and the broader AI capex wave the greatest bubble in the history of markets, why Elon's $1 trillion XAI revenue promise by 2030 is securities fraud, how DeepSeek is poised to break the AI bubble by doing what OpenAI and Anthropic do for 5 cents on the dollar, why Bitcoin's Metcalf's Law fair value already sits around $125,000 even as price trades closer to $60K, his specific October 5 cycle-bottom call for the next crypto spring, and the brutal truth that the 1986 Tax Act and the rise of the 401k were a heist on the American middle class.

It's not just another asset… in the digital age, it's The Last Trade that investors will ever need to make.


    🎙️ About This Episode

    Mark Yusko, CIO of Morgan Creek Capital Management, joins Jackson and Michael to reframe the current setup as a classic late-cycle bubble forming around AI and SpaceX while Bitcoin sits hated and on sale. He calls Elon's $1 trillion XAI revenue tweet a textbook securities fraud, shows how the Intel pattern from 1990 to 2000 (up 20x, then down 87%) is repeating in semiconductors today, and explains why a SpaceX moon data center is physically impossible. On the bullish side: DeepSeek doing what OpenAI and Anthropic do at 5 cents on the dollar, Metcalf's Law fair value for Bitcoin sitting around $125,000 (per Tim Peterson at N Squared Value), and Mark's specific October 5, 2026 cycle-bottom call with crypto spring to follow. Plus the three-bucket savings framework, why 99.5% of prediction-market accounts lose money, and why the 1986 Tax Act was a quiet heist on corporate pension funds.

    The Dollar Reset Runs Through Bitcoin | Matt Dines Jun 11, 2026
    Show notes

    The Last Trade: Matt Dines, CIO of Build Asset Management, joins to lay out the seismic monetary reshuffling underway in 2026, the unwind of the post-Bretton-Woods offshore-dollar system that ran the global economy from 1971 to 2022, why LIBOR's deprecation and the SOFR transition quietly moved the dollar's command center from London to New York, Scott Bessent's strategy to monetize the asset side of the Treasury balance sheet through the GENIUS Act stablecoin and a Bitcoin reserve targeting 1 million BTC, Tether's December 2023 alignment with the American Sovereignist movement, and the contrarian read on MicroStrategy as a "dollar strategy" rather than a Bitcoin strategy.

    🎙️ About This Episode

    Matt Dines, CIO of Build Asset Management and author of "The Offshore Dollar Is Being Left Out to Dry" on mindprinthash.com, joins Jackson, Brian, and Michael to walk through the structural shift in the global dollar system that he argues is the single most important macro story of 2026. Matt traces the unwind of the post-Bretton-Woods offshore-dollar (eurodollar) system back to 2008, explains how the Federal Reserve's deprecation of LIBOR in favor of SOFR moved the dollar's command center from London to New York, and frames the 2024 election as a fork in the road between Biden's CBDC path (EO 14067) and the Trump / Sovereignist asset-backed dollar path. He details the playbook unfolding under Scott Bessent and Treasury: the GENIUS Act stablecoin as the bridge, a Bitcoin reserve targeting 1 million BTC (per Congressman Begich's American Reserve Modernization Act, the successor to Senator Lummis' Bitcoin Act), and gold becoming the biggest liquidity pool while the offshore dollar drains. Matt argues that Bitcoin is NOT yet seen as a risk-off asset by the market, but the long-term setup points there. He reframes MicroStrategy as a "dollar strategy" rather than a Bitcoin strategy: borrowing US onshore equity-market liquidity at 11-13% to go long Bitcoin priced primarily in the OLD offshore-dollar (Tether) standard, with major implications for stretch and the broader DAT trade. Plus historical parallels (Civil War greenbacks transitioning to the gold-pegged dollar of 1875; silver certificates phasing out for Fed notes from 1957), Tether's December 2023 alignment with the American Sovereignist movement, the Schwab UTXO Bitcoin custody rollout, and how to position for the most violent middle innings of this dollar transition.

    Inside Fidelity's 'Get Off Zero' Bitcoin Report | Chris Kuiper Jun 04, 2026

    The Last Trade: Chris Kuiper, VP of Research at Fidelity Digital Assets, returns to make the case that this is the worst sentiment he has seen in his decade-plus following Bitcoin even though nothing fundamental has actually broken, why Bitcoin is finally decoupling from the AI-led "everything-but-Bitcoin" rally, how Fidelity's updated "Getting Off Zero" report uses mean variance optimization to show a 90/0/10 stocks-bonds-Bitcoin allocation maximizing the Sharpe ratio at a conservative 25% Bitcoin CAGR assumption, why bondholders have spent decades underwater on a real-return basis, and why the Czech National Bank's small but symbolic Bitcoin position may be the start of central bank adoption gradually then suddenly.

    🎙️ About This Episode

    Chris Kuiper, VP of Research at Fidelity Digital Assets, joins Jackson, Brian, and Michael to walk through Fidelity's updated "Getting Off Zero" report and reframe the current Bitcoin drawdown for sophisticated allocators. Chris argues the sentiment is the worst he has seen in his decade-plus in the space, but nothing fundamental has broken; Bitcoin is simply finally decoupling from the AI-momentum rally, which is the diversification benefit allocators actually want. The episode covers Bitcoin spending ~96% of its history below all-time highs (so being underwater is the default state, not a signal), the four-year cycle's diminishing predictive power as derivatives smooth volatility, and the mean variance optimization that pops out a 90% stocks / 0% bonds / 10% Bitcoin portfolio at conservative assumptions (25% CAGR, 50% vol). On the macro side, Chris reiterates his 2026 look-ahead view that inflation comes back in waves, points to bond yields rising globally as the bond market sniffs out higher-for-longer, and revisits the 30-50% real drawdowns bondholders endured from the 1940s through the 1980s. Plus the Czech National Bank's symbolic but precedent-setting Bitcoin allocation, why advisor excuses for zero-allocation have shifted from "it's a Ponzi" to "I don't know how to operationally hold it," and why a zero allocation is now itself an active position requiring justification.

    🎙️ About This Episode

    Vijay Boyapati, author of The Bullish Case for Bitcoin, joins Jackson and Michael to walk through where Bitcoin sits in this "everything-but-Bitcoin" rally and why he's still bullish. He frames the current drawdown as a shallow bear market compared to 2014, argues the bottom is in, and explains why the $100K-era whale distribution (Galaxy alone reportedly sold $9B) actually sets up a stronger base because Bitcoin is now in the hands of ETF holders with a 2-4% allocation and an $80-100K cost basis. Vijay also covers the Charles Schwab crypto platform rolling out to 40 million brokerage clients (led by a senior Bitcoiner exec), the Clarity Act expected to pass within the next month or two, the political-capture moment marked by Sherrod Brown's unseating, and why Michael Saylor's third-level financial engineering through stretch has found product-market fit (mostly retail, ~80% of demand) but is starting to introduce leverage risk into the Bitcoin system. Plus a brief tangent on AI as a personal productivity superpower.

    🎙️ About This Episode

    James Seyffart, ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, returns to talk through the two parallel stories playing out in digital assets right now. Crypto Twitter is beaten down while TradFi quietly takes over the rails. Morgan Stanley's MSBT comes in at 14 bips, the lowest fee on the market, and turns on a 2-4% Bitcoin allocation across 17,000 advisors and $7T+ in assets. Mike Wilson's 60/20/20 call gives gold a 20% sleeve, and JP Morgan, Ondo, and Securitize keep building tokenization rails. James also covers the latest 13Fs (Abu Dhabi pushing toward $600M, hedge funds dumping as the basis trade compresses below 5%), Truth Social pulling its spot Bitcoin ETF filing, the Hyperliquid ETF launches, and the prediction market ETF wave that's stuck at the SEC. Plus a preview of the Balchunas-Seyffart book coming in November.
