BITCOIN SEASON 2: We're in a Recession on TikTok, But Not in the Market

from CoinDesk Podcast Network · host CoinDesk

Stocks are soaring but TikTok is calling recession. The hosts examine viral recession indicators vs hard economic data to see if we're heading for downturn or if it's just vibes-based panic in 2025. We’re diving deep into the disconnect between market performance and recession fears. They explore viral TikTok recession indicators, analyze Q2 earnings data, examine job market softening, and discuss whether we're actually heading into recession territory or if it's all just economic anxiety amplified by social media vibes.
