Economic Implications of Tariffs and the Future of Currency
This chapter explores how significant tariffs could impact the global economy and challenge the dominance of the dollar. It suggests that countries might seek alternatives like gold and Bitcoin, proposing that these assets may currently be undervalued amidst these changes.
Luke Gromen unpacks the dynamics of stablecoins and T-bills, Bitcoin’s role as a fiscal policy marker, and the implications of yield curve control. We delve into U.S. dollar devaluation, global liquidity in 2025, and the interplay of tariff threats and international Bitcoin reserves.
