The narrative acknowledges differing perspectives on these actions but emphasizes their factual basis.

The speaker shares their experience about the process, particularly emphasizing the challenge posed by their German passport indicating a US birthplace. This detail had to be verified, which took a week, before the Swiss bank account could be finalized.

The author, through the example of Ryan Peterson's Twitter update, highlights a 60% drop in these bookings following the implementation of tariffs. The chapter suggests that these macroeconomic changes create a bullish outlook for Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market, as such disruptions could lead to increased interest and investment in digital currencies.

These imports, when sold at retail, are valued at approximately $2 trillion, highlighting the vast scale of economic activity at stake.

• 00:00 - 00:30 At this point, I don't know how you could possibly be bearish in the space. I'm going to cover facts and you're gonna probably like them. There's some that you probably won't like, but you know what? Facts are facts. Okay, so let's look at this. First, we have wealthy Americans are pouring money into Swiss bank accounts and buying gold to weather the recession. This is according to Fortune magazine. Clients are withdrawing funds from US-based brokerage accounts and moving them into cash deposits or offshore trust
• 00:30 - 01:00 structures in jurisdictions such as Switzerland, Jersey, and Gonzuri. All right, so here's the thing. I don't know how that is even possible with US citizens getting Swiss bank accounts because guys, I've done this. All right, I actually have a Swiss bank account. It was the only hiccup there was that it said on my German passport that I was born in the United States. They had to take literally a week after showing them
• 01:00 - 01:30 my certificate of announcement, showing them that yes, I'm not a US citizen. It took a week of complant the compliance officer to make sure that I wasn't a US citizen. So, I don't see I don't know how this is even true. Okay. So when you see the news out there, I I I some of this stuff, it kind of doesn't make sense. But if it actually is happening, it shows you that a lot of people are a little bit worried. And I'm going to cover more of this, why they might be
• 01:30 - 02:00 worried. Okay, so let's move on to the tariffs because it's I'm going to show you how bullish you should be on Bitcoin right now and the rest of the crypto space because of what these tariffs are going to be doing. Okay, this is Ryan Peterson on Twitter. In the three weeks since the tariffs took place, ocean container bookings from China to the United States are down over 60% industrywide. He also goes goes on to
• 02:00 - 02:30 say the US imports $600 billion worth of goods from China every year. 95% of that uh via ocean freight. Those goods sell at retail for $2 trillion. So that's $2 trillion that is potentially at risk. Now, let's go over some facts right now of what is happening. Okay, so now around April 10th, China to the US trade shutdown. Okay, it takes 30 days for
• 02:30 - 03:00 containers to go from China to LA. 45 days to Houston by sea and 45 days to Chicago by train. 55 to New York by sea. That means that there are no economic effects of what is done on April 10th until about May 10th. Okay? So, it takes about 30 days for this to take place. So, you may be thinking, "Oh, everything's fine." you know, everything's good, businesses are open,
• 03:00 - 03:30 there's no shortages whatsoever. Maybe just wait a little bit and see what's actually happening because I'm showing you right now the change from the previous year of scheduled vest vessels is down 30.81% and just from the previous week 10%. Okay, so this is getting a bit worrisome. Now, let's go over to Apple and what have they been doing? Because, you know, the tariffs are supposed to encourage, you know, manufacturing in
• 03:30 - 04:00 the United States. Well, this could be good news. Apple plans to move production of all US sold iPhones from China to the US. No, not the US, to India by 2026. Guys, like I I'm here to give you facts, okay? I don't I'm a political atheist. I don't care who is president. I don't care if a monkey from from uh the space comes down and becomes president. It doesn't matter. The
• 04:00 - 04:30 Federal Reserve still runs a show. They're the central bank. They print your currency and they set your interest rates and they run your military. Okay? That's it. That's what they do. They are the buyers and lenders of last resort. They own all presidents and puppets and all these guys. Okay? Just get that through your head right now, guys, because this is going to cost you a lot of money if you don't understand that. If you don't understand how the Federal Reserve was created and why they were
• 04:30 - 05:00 created. Okay, moving on to this. President Trump says many people's income taxes could be completely eliminated because of tariffs, because of his tariffs. And I agree with that. If nobody has a job, nobody's going to be paying income taxes. Okay, so this is a bit worrisome here. I don't understand how he how politicians I not picking on Trump. Okay. I don't know how they pulled these things out of their butt. Okay. This blows my mind. Now, with China and India, why do you think that they want to not go to the United
• 05:00 - 05:30 States? Why is that? It's because, first off, they probably don't trust the United States anymore. Or it's also because manufacturing is way too expensive in the United States. I mean, come on, guys. It doesn't take neuroscientists to figure out that this is going to cost a lot of money, okay, in the United States to build manufacturing plants, to build chips, all this stuff. That's going to cost a crap ton. And with China and
• 05:30 - 06:00 India, you can do that for fairly cheap, right? But now, you can't do that with the United States. So, it's going to be really interesting to see how fast are they going to build these plants. By the way, in the United States, I don't think they're going to do that on time because it takes a long time to train robots to do this stuff because that's where it's where it's going essentially right now. You're going to see a lot of that. You're going to see a lot of unemployment in my opinion. That is also why you need Bitcoin because the US is
• 06:00 - 06:30 going to have to print tons and tons of currency to keep the show going, the theater going. Okay? And that's going to require tons of military expenditures. The amount of currency that's being printed and interest that's being paid is going to be ginormous. You haven't seen anything yet, guys. Bitcoin and Monero and many other coins are going to be your lifeline, okay? Especially if you hold them self-custody, okay? So, now let's talk
• 06:30 - 07:00 about alt season really quick because, you know, why not? So, this is Patrick H from Crypto Intelligence on Twitter says, "Are we back? the altcoin market, others just broke out of this fivemonl long supply trend line. Check out this chart. Very true. And it could be happening soon, but in my opinion, I did a post on learning crypto.com if you want to see my thoughts and our portfolio. Go there and when when I buy and when I sell. But I said pretty much that I don't see this happening right
• 07:00 - 07:30 now until Bitcoin dominance rises a little bit higher. I think that's very important to watch. Bitcoin dominance because it does actually signal a lot of alt seasons in the past and it's been a very good indicator. So with that said, lastly, let me cover this before I go because this is crazy news here. China is dumping US treasuries and stockpiling gold. So with that said, guys, what is that going to do to the US dollar? It's
• 07:30 - 08:00 going to probably hurt it a lot more. But the grand scheme of thing isn't just gold back currency. There's not going to be a gold back currency. I promise you that. I can 100% guarantee you. Mark my word. You know, write it down somewhere. Remind Toby. You know that this is what he said. Okay? It ain't happening, right? There's no way in heck central banks are ever going to back anything with gold or Bitcoin or anything they do
• 08:00 - 08:30 not control fully. Okay. They control the US dollar fully. They control the euro fully. And you wouldn't expect like a rabid dog to put itself back on a leash, would you? Okay. Exactly. So, you got your brain. Use it here in this space because otherwise, if you don't, you're going to lose a lot of money. All right. And you're you're going to be very confused of what is happening in this in this world. Now, if you just want to check out my thoughts on a deeper level, check out learningcrypto.com and also me at
