Schectman characterizes the market as an upside-down pyramid and argues that an outsized share of capital is flowing into artificial intelligence-related investments.The conversation also explores where Schectman believes these trends may be heading, what a broader economic reset could look like, and how future policy changes may affect financial markets. Sarah and Andy also discuss the GENIUS Act and the implications Schectman believes it could have as the regulatory landscape for digital assets and stablecoins continues to evolve.Learn more about Andy Schectman and Miles Franklin and purchasing precious metals at https://SarahWestall.com/MilesFranklinLinks and Offers Mentioned in the Show:Miles Franklin: Protect your assets with a company you can trust and receive the private preferred pricing at https://SarahWestall.com/MilesFranklinMasterPeace: Protect your body, remove heavy metals, microplastics, and toxins while supporting better health and sleep.
