Jason Burack of Wall St for Main St interviewed returning guest, former software and technology entrepreneur, hedge fund manager and host of the popular Macro Voices https://www.macrovoices.com/ Podcast for sophisticated investors, Erik Townsend. Erik also recently wrote a book that was released today called, Beyond Blockchain: The Death of the Dollar and the Rise of Digital Currency. https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Blockchain-Dollar-Digital-Currency/dp/172917728X/ Wall St for Main St listeners can download the first chapter of Erik's new book in audio book format for free here: https://www.macrovoices.com/bbchapter1 During this hour plus long interview, Jason and Erik discuss the US Dollar rally that has occurred for basically all of 2018 and whether the Dollar rally is over? Jason also asks Erik about the leveraged shorty volatility trade, the trading range on the 10 Year US Treasury yield, whether the stock market has topped and why Erik thinks that the oil market has crashed so much in only 12 or so trading days. To wrap up the interview, Jason asks Erik why he went through all the hard work and trouble to write and book and why now? Erik talks about how he considers digital currencies different from crypto currencies and why this first generation of block chain technology, in his opinion, will be completely obsolete in less than 10 years.
