Episode notes
Bitcoin As A Liquidity Smoke Alarm
- Bitcoin acts as a liquidity "smoke alarm" revealing when fiat liquidity is tight or about to be printed.
- Jack argues this explains price moves more than arbitrary four-year cycles and forewarns fiscal action.
Inflationary Default Is The Third Option
- Sovereign debt stress forces governments to 'default' via inflation by printing money rather than refusing payment.
- Gold and Bitcoin rise as neutral stores as countries diversify away from treasuries.
ETF Flows Often Hide Basis Trades
- ETF inflows can mask true institutional intent because many trades are basis trades, not long directional bets.
- Reduced ETF inflows often reflect lower basis yield, not a loss of belief in Bitcoin.
