13:43Now PlayingTrump made an estimated $2.29 billion off crypto. The people who invested lost $2.28 billion. Economist Justin Wolfers breaks down why that's not simply a moral outrage — the "drop in the bucket" on paper could potentially cost the US economy trillions if policy decisions are made to protect that money instead of the public. And he uses relatable explanations, like bike locks and chickens, to teach us all about economics.
Also covered: the DOJ unit that quietly stopped investigating crypto, why blind trusts exist for exactly this reason, and why the president holding crypto instead of dollars might matter more than you think.
Co-hosts Cliff Schecter and David Shuster clear the fog with economist Justin Wolfers, of Platypus Economics Substack, on Blue Amp Media's Amped Up.
