From TradFi to "Trump Coin": Why I’m Shorting the Whole Crypto Market
Thu Dec 25 2025
rom the sterile trading floors of the City to the high-leverage chaos of Mexc, Episode 15 of The C Word Podcast breaks down the culture shock of moving from TradFi to the world of "Trump Coin" and meme tokens. We explore the "permabear" strategy of making money by shorting low-quality projects, the hypocrisy of traditional fund managers who bash crypto while secretly owning Bitcoin ETFs, and the dark reality of how global events are viewed on a professional trading floor. The episode also touches on the mysterious market influence of Barron Trump, the possibility of a "Black Mirror" future where everyone has their own personal currency, and a deep dive into why AI is still fundamentally incapable of being funny. It’s an unfiltered look at volatility, human "hopium," and the divide between investing and gambling—just remember, this is purely for entertainment and definitely not financial advice.
