510: Anthony Pompliano on Trump, Tariffs, Bitcoin, and AI
Podcast: Download
We’re living through truly extraordinary times—not simply because things are changing, but because of how breathtakingly fast those changes are happening. Take artificial intelligence: it’s no longer some futuristic buzzword from a sci-fi movie; it’s already reshaping our lives, economies, and even how we relate to each other.
But here’s what’s really mind-blowing: artificial general intelligence is just around the corner. This isn’t the kind of gradual innovation we’re used to—it’s a complete overhaul. AGI promises to rewrite the rules of entire industries practically overnight, delivering changes more profound and rapid than anything humanity has ever experienced.
Forget the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, or even the dawn of the internet—this transformation could eclipse them all, and do it faster than any of us can imagine.
Parallel to the AI revolution, Bitcoin has had its own remarkable story. Just a little over a decade ago, it was an obscure digital experiment—dismissed by mainstream finance as a tech nerd’s hobby, virtual Monopoly money with no real-world impact.
Fast-forward to today, and Bitcoin has completely transformed. Countries like El Salvador now officially recognize Bitcoin as legal tender. Sovereign wealth funds—from Singapore to the Middle East—are quietly stacking it into their national reserves.
Big corporations like MicroStrategy have turned conventional treasury management upside down, boldly choosing Bitcoin as their primary reserve asset. Bitcoin’s journey from fringe curiosity to essential financial infrastructure underscores a major shift in how we store, exchange, and even define value worldwide.
And it’s not just technology and finance that are seeing these seismic shifts; geopolitics and economic strategies are also entering uncharted waters. With the Trump administration back in power, we’re witnessing a total rewrite of the traditional economic playbook.
Tariffs, once cautiously applied economic tools, are now wielded boldly, reshaping global alliances and challenging decades-old partnerships. Long-standing allies like Canada and Europe now find themselves in more transactional relationships, while surprising new economic partnerships emerge based purely on pragmatism. This rapidly evolving landscape is generating unprecedented uncertainty—but also enormous opportunity.
So how do you make sure you end up on the winning side of this historic transformation? By actively educating yourself, staying ahead of the curve, and positioning yourself to prosper.
I’ve always made it my mission to anticipate where things are headed—and more importantly, to share that vision with you. Back in 2017, I first introduced Bitcoin to you when it traded below $5K. Today, with Bitcoin over $100K, I’m more convinced than ever that we’ll see it hit $1 million within the next five years. The conversations I’m having make it seem inevitable.
It’s those conversations you need to be a part of—either having them yourself or listening to them through podcasts like mine.
A good place to start is this week’s Wealth Formula Podcast, where I talk with Anthony Pompliano, better known as Pomp.
