Who Really Understands Bitcoin? Trump, CZ, and the Power Behind Crypto

In this clip of Market Mondays, Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings dive deep into the world of crypto, power, and politics. Starting with a comparison between Trump, Kanye, and Elon Musk, the conversation quickly explores how influential figures often rely on high-level advisors and sound bites rather than in-depth knowledge. Rashad Bilal shares insights into Trump’s handling of crypto topics like Bitcoin and Binance, revealing how the former president deflects detailed questions and spins challenges to his advantage. Troy Millings joins in to discuss the reality that many investors—even billionaires—often lack real understanding of their assets, highlighting that deploying capital can matter more than mastering every technical detail. The clip further unpacks why those in positions of power, from political leaders to sports team owners, trust advisors and how this dynamic has led to financial scandals like Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme. Together, the hosts reflect on policy decisions, protecting oneself with plausible deniability, and the strategic ignorance at the highest levels of business and government. They talk about the murky origins of Bitcoin and how most people, including major investors and leaders, would probably fail a Bitcoin quiz. The discussion closes with reflections on how misinformation and trusted circles shape decision-making in finance and politics—raising important questions about who actually holds knowledge and power in the markets. Whether you’re curious about how world leaders handle crypto, or want to understand the dynamic between knowledge and investing, this Market Mondays clip is a must-watch! **Hashtags:** #MarketMondays #CryptoTalk #Bitcoin #Investing #Trump #Binance #FinancialAdvisors #PonziScheme #KanyeWest #ElonMusk #PoliticalPower #BitcoinQuiz #CZ #SamBankmanFried #FinanceDiscussion See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
