Episode notes
Market Optimism and Speculative Excess
- The market's optimism for the new administration, with its promises of deregulation, is overly high.
- This optimism is similar to the speculative excesses seen in the late 1920s, particularly in the altcoin market.
JGBs in the Late 90s
- Mike McGlone mentions a personal story about trading JGBs (Japanese Government Bonds) in the late 90s.
- He compares this to the current situation in China, where the 10-year yield is behaving similarly.
Bitcoin Rally Drivers
- The current Bitcoin rally is driven by patient accumulators who recognize its potential as a store of value.
- Unlike previous rallies, the current price setters are not primarily the crypto community.
