Howard is back with another mind-bending episode of Trends With Friends alongside Michael Parekh and special guest Jeff Park, Wall Street alum turned Bitwise crypto Jedi. From the radical rethinking of portfolio construction to the institutionalization of Bitcoin, Jeff unpacks how markets are being rewired in real time. The trio dives deep into the death of the 60/40 portfolio, the rise of Bitcoin treasury companies, the myth of the risk-free rate, and why every investor needs to grapple with global carry dynamics. Plus, they debate Elon’s Tesla troubles, BYD’s China dominance, why CME is booming, and how prediction markets and vibe coding are reshaping the next-gen financial playbook. If you care about capital markets, crypto, and the future of speculation as entertainment, don’t miss this one.Chapters
