Wall St. For Main St., Released on 1/22/25

During this 40+ minute interview Lyn talks about the power requirement difference between Bitcoin mining and data enters for artificial intelligence (AI). Bitcoin mining is more sensitive to electricity prices while AI and data centers will pay almost any price to secure a stable and reliable source of electricity 24/7/365 to run the computing power needed for AI software and hardware at the data centers. Lyn expects a huge increase in uranium, nuclear power and natural gas demand boom because of data centers and AI. Lyn talks about how meme coins like Fart Coin and Trump meme coins are affecting demand for Bitcoin, gold and gold mining stocks. Capital is leaving other crypto currencies and gold stocks and is chasing short term get rich quick trades in meme coins despite the pump and dump risk. Next, Lyn talks about the huge valuation gap between the gold price and gold stocks. Will the big divergence close in the next 1-2 years for gold miners? Lyn expects gold and Bitcoin to continue in a long term bull market. To wrap up the interview, Lyn talks about the macro cross currents currently happening now with strong US Dollar (Dollar Index), high gold price while the longer duration government bond yields in the G7 spike. Is this a repeat of the 1940s or the 1970s stagflation? Are government bonds in a long term bear market? How will DC respond with new policies to try to manage the Dollar from getting too strong or too weak? Jason also asks Lyn about Trump regulating Bitcoin, block chain and AI companies.
