Bitcoin, Brinksmanship, and Broken Systems

In this episode of No Tacos For Tyrants, host Matt Mihaly gets into the intersection of high-stakes geopolitics, oligarchic influence, and the ever-growing role of Bitcoin in shaping the next era of  American power.

From North Korea’s troops discovering the internet (and its, uh, darker corners) to the chaos brewing in Trump’s kakistocratic cabinet, Matt leaves no stone unturned.

You’ll learn how the crypto industry’s influence is shaping policy under Trump and how Biden’s decision to arm Ukraine with long-range missiles could have massive geopolitical consequences. 

The episode also tackles the unsurprising but problematic appointment of RFK Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services, and Matt makes some recommendations as to how Trump could have really stepped up his troll game and made even worse picks. 

On a brighter note, the show highlights some good news, like Jimmy Carter’s 10th Grammy nomination and the discovery of the world’s largest coral reef in the South Pacific. There’s always a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos!
