The Dip

Parts of the US government have shut down as politicians fight over spending, leaving millions of workers and businesses in limbo. At the same time, Wall Street is buzzing about whether the boom in AI stocks is the start of a new era or just another bubble ready to burst.

We answer your questions about tariffs, trade wars, and tech investing, including why governments use tariffs, how they hurt consumers, and when they might be politically tempting. We also dig into whether AI firms could just "mint" their own crypto to fund themselves, and why Nvidia’s planned $100 billion investment in OpenAI is more than just a headline-grabber.

President Trump is raising the government fee for the H1B visa to $100,000. The Dip team digs into what this means for the start-up scene in the US and whether founders will pay up. Then we head to New York where President Trump met with his Argentine counterpart to lend his support to the embattled South American leader.
