The current state of the economy and whether a crash is looming
What would a 30-50% stock crash look like and could money printing 'save it'
Bank consolidations: Ed predicts failures of many regional banks and a few Too Big to Fail Banks emerging at the top
How will a CBDC work and why would they introduce one?
Is Bitcoin the solution to the broken financial system?
Are leaders malicious or incompetent?
Why the divide of red vs blue?
Why Ed sees a lot of hope
