Episode notes
War Drives Inflation, Bitcoin Safe Haven
- War is inherently inflationary due to government money printing and disrupted global trade raising prices.
- Bitcoin, despite initial sell-offs during conflict, often performs well soon after and is viewed increasingly as a safe haven asset.
Fed Under Political Pressure
- Political pressure is mounting on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates to ease the government's debt burden.
- Historically, extreme debt levels lead to diminished Fed independence and interventions that debase the currency.
Stablecoins Boost Treasury Demand
- Stablecoin regulation is emerging as a vital tool to boost U.S. Treasury demand amid massive deficits.
- The Senate's passage of the Genius Act is seen as a strategic win to solidify U.S. leadership in digital assets.
