Episode notes

I thought more people got hurt by the Luna thing than got hurt by FTX. Most people will use stuff like hedge funds to give them the exposures to the other parts of the space that aren't Bitcoin, you know? So it's complicated. The business cycle is what drives liquidity. We can use stuff like the ISM survey as where we are in the business cycle. If it's below 50, we tend to be in recessionary or contractuary times. But if it's expanding and above, they tend to be expansionary times.

Are we entering Crypto’s Spring? Raoul Pal is the Co-Founder and CEO of Real Vision, a financial media and education platform focused on Macro, Investing, and Crypto.

In today’s episode, we cover:1) The Aftermath of the 2022 Meltdown.2) How to Invest in the face of the current liquidity and external Indicators. 3) Why Raoul thinks we’re headed toward Deflation, not Inflation. 4) What AI will bring to the table, and how it intersects with Crypto 5) Why the Crypto Winter is probably over.
