Today’s show is focused on Bitcoin and the world of cryptocurrency. No one owns the Bitcoin network except Bitcoin users around the world, making it a quintessential peer-to-peer technology innovation. It means the payment system does not include a middle man and has zero or low fees, unlike our current system that uses bank and credit card companies.
Though Bitcoin has gained increasing acceptance as a payment platform, the currency value has seen a thunderous move up followed by a massive collapse. Is bitcoin a bubble? Does it have the ability to change the world? Take a look at what our panel of guests, including Max Keiser, John McDonnell, and Reggie Middleton, had to say about the future of Bitcoin.
We’re now getting a glimpse into what Brexit could look like after parliament releases the first document revealing PM Theresa May’s plan. We get the latest from RT UK Correspondent Eisa Ali. And could President Trump’s tweets have diminishing returns? Former U.S. Trading Commissioner Bart Chilton says investors may get tired of reacting to every single tweet. Then after the break, automation is shaking up the job market for everyone, but what about women specifically? Later Manuel Rapalo tells us how Google has taken over the top spot as the world’s most valuable brand and how Snap might do with their now official IPO.

China is facing more heat around the globe as new reports say the nation's export restrictions are keeping medical equipment like test kits, ventilators and face masks from reaching the US. The coronavirus pandemic led to mass layoffs and struggling businesses, and some of the world's economies are looking at re-opening as the curve flattens. Meanwhile, more than five million Americans filed for unemployment benefits and while the hope is that reopening economies worldwide will mitigate the economic impact of these lockdowns, organizations like the IMF and UN have said that this is the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

The cord-cutter movement is on and Apple intends to be at the forefront! Apple is in talks to launch an internet TV service that would cost $30-40/month and launch with 25 channels that would deliver content from ABC, CBS, Fox, ESPN, and others. The new Apple TV would roll out in the fall and would not carry content from NBC after disputes with NBC Universal’s parent company Comcast ended poorly. Erin weighs in.
Then, Erin is joined by Ann Pettifor – director of PRIME Economics and author of “Just Money: How Society Can Break the Despotic Power of Finance.” Ann gives us her take on what we’ll hear at this week’s Federal Reserve meetings and tells us that the dollar and financial stability is outside of the US as a big concern at the Fed because the Fed is concerned with narrow US domestic interests, as this is its mandate. The juxtaposition sets the global economy up for volatility going forward due to “massive imbalances”. In the US, she believes there is justifiable anxiety about the robustness of the US economy. Ann continues the conversation with pointed words about the way the Greek situation has been handled, making recommendations of the right way to frame the situation.
After the break, Edward Harrison sits down with Tim Duy – professor of economics at the University of Oregon and senior director of the Oregon Economic Forum. Tim tells us the word “patient” is history in the Fed’s language about raising rates and that the market is waking up to an accelerated hike timetable but risks do remain.
And in The Big Deal, Erin and Edward continue the discussion on Apple and the Fed. Take a look!

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has vowed to fight the Fed over capital requirements for the big banks. As we all know, the Fed is upping the amount of capital the biggest banks must have on their balance sheets in order to create a safety cushion for the next crash. The Fed’s tougher capital rules give the megabanks an incentive to shrink, but Dimon has no intention of doing that! Erin weighs in.
Then, Erin sits down with Raoul Pal – founder of Global Macro Investor and Real Vision TV. Raoul tells us who benefits most from the content he produces on Real Vision and gives us his take on lowflation. His macro view is that we are in a secular shift toward a lower inflation, lower growth environment. This is a driving force for portfolios and makes bonds attractive as an asset class. On the other hand, pal believes the Fed’s policy stance is at odds with other central banks and that this will create economic and market struggles.
After the break, Bianca reports on the controversy surrounding the NCAA and it’s argument against paying student-athletes…despite making millions of dollars per year off of them.
Afterwards is Defining Moments, showcasing the best comments from our guests this week including David Merkel, Eswar Prasad, Gerald Celente, Ann Pettifor, and Richard Wolff.
And in The Big Deal, Erin and Edward continue the discussion on the NCAA and March Madness.
