New Trends With Friends Episode: Net New Lows Soar, China's Tech Ascendancy, and Macro Madness

Good morning everyone,
In this episode of Trends with Friends, Michael Parekh, Phil Pearlman, Tom Bruni and I are joined by special guests Chris Temple and Zach Ingrasci – Creators of The Ethereum Story – to explore macro madness, market sentiment, and crypto’s conflicted future. Chris and Zach also created the documentary ‘This is not Financial Advice’ which I executive produced.
We talk about record bearishness, $VIX ( ▲ 7.14% ) spikes, and what Vitalik Buterin’s life really says about decentralization. We also discuss the psychology of investors, the global AI race, and the business of storytelling in a fragmented media landscape.
