Episode notes
Bitcoin's Next Price Targets
- Bitcoin is on a steady march higher with a base target of $150K by year-end.
- Technical analysis suggests $190K could be next if momentum continues.
Understanding Treasury Rates
- 10-year Treasury rates reflect nominal GDP growth expectations, including inflation.
- Rates at 4.5% or higher signal strong growth and won't necessarily hinder equities or Bitcoin.
AI Deflation Counters Inflation
- AI-driven productivity gains bring strong deflationary forces to the economy.
- Fiscal stimulus can coexist with these forces without causing runaway inflation.
