With the Fed cutting rates, what’s the next move for crypto? Two macro investors discuss Bitcoin's sluggish summer, how the 2024 elections could impact crypto markets, and much more.

The Fed just made its first rate cut in years, slashing 50 basis points off interest rates—but what does this mean for the crypto markets? With Bitcoin lagging behind traditional finance, and the looming U.S. elections, uncertainty is growing. 

In this episode, Quinn Thompson of Lekker Capital and Travis Kling of Ikigai Asset Management break down the major factors influencing the markets: from Bitcoin’s sluggish summer and the unwinding of the Japan yen carry trade, to why the 2024 elections could be a pivotal moment for crypto. Are these the catalysts we’ve been waiting for, or should we brace for more turbulence ahead?

Also, they cover which assets could benefit the most under a Trump administration, and why they believe SOL could have a negative catalyst in the near future.

Show highlights:

• Why the Fed cut the rates by 50 basis points and what the chances of a recession are in the U.S.
• Why Bitcoin has underperformed the broader TradFi markets this summer
• The risks of the unwinding of the Japan carry trade for crypto
• How the election results might matter differently for different sectors of the industry
• Whether rate cuts affect stablecoin yields in DeFi 
• How the approval of Bitcoin ETF options will affect the price of BTC
• Whether Bitcoin miners will be affected by AI’s need for computing power
• Ether’s lagging performance this year and what might be a huge catalyst for ETH
• How SOL will manage through the huge unlock in early 2025
• What Quinn and Travis think about investing in memecoins
• How the rise of Base will impact Coinbase

On today's episode of "The Daily Signal Podcast," Tim Goeglein discusses his new book, "Stumbling Toward Utopia: How the 1960s Turned Into a National Nightmare and How We Can Revive the American Dream."

Goeglein's book explores the dramatic cultural, social, and political shifts of the 1960s and how those changes continue to impact American society today.

“The reason we're in the spiritual crisis that we are in across all of our institutions is because of the moral and social revolution of the 1960s,” he tells The Daily Signal.

Goeglien, who serves as vice president of external and government relations for Focus on the Family, explores what he calls the many "stumbles" of the 1960s—from morality and religion to education and entertainment.

“Progressives ultimately believe in the perfectibility of man and that it can all be socially engineered in places like Washington and Hollywood," Goeglein says. "But I demonstrate in 'Stumbling Toward Utopia' that this is a bunch of false promises.”

He also shares his thoughts on how America can restore its moral foundation and revive the American Dream.

“I believe already the seeds are being planted for a restoration," Goeglein says. "There are all kinds of things happening, and I believe that the American Dream will be restored.”

Listen to hear his insights on education, family values, and the role of government in shaping the future.
