FedWatch 137 - Operation Chokepoint 2.0! Central Banks continue to Hike Rates!
Hosts: Ansel Lindner and Christian Keroles
Fed Watch is a macro podcast with a clear contrarian thesis of a deflationary breakdown of the financial system leading to bitcoin adoption. We question narratives and schools of thought, and try to form new understanding. Each episode we use current events to question mainstream and bitcoin narratives across the globe, with an emphasis on central banks and currencies.

In this episode, CK is back for a HUGE week in central bank and bitcoin news. We cover this week's FOMC policy decision and press conference with Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. We discuss all the central banks raising rates in the face of a banking crisis and bank runs. Next, we discuss the crackdown by US officials on the bitcoin space, with Wells notices being sent out widely to many companies, and the Economic Report of the President devoting two entire chapters to understanding and spreading FUD about bitcoin.
A lot is happening right now and we try to cover it all. CK and I have been positive regarding Chair Powell in the past, but it seems as if central bankers have lost their minds tightening while liquidity is evaporating rapidly. We agree that the recent attacks on scams in the space, are not meant as an attack on Bitcoin, and in the end everything is good for Bitcoin.
Lastly, we look at several charts of bitcoin, the stock market, US Treasury yields, and the dollar. We like to do this to ground our conclusions in the market truth. We are emotional animals and can be pulled this way or that very easily. It is the charts, the market price, that is the source of truth much more so than our emotions or individual rational interpretations. What do the charts show us? Things are not as dire as the headlines would imply.
Of course, it takes time for economic conditions as a whole to be translated across the market, but we do not see the patterns in the charts that lead up to the type of crises many are predicting. In fact, Bitcoin is rallying and stocks still have higher highs and higher lows. Treasury yields point to a liquidity crisis similar to 2019, and the dollar is not telegraphing acute global stress.

Fedwatch 136 - Is This the Big One? Credit Suisse Today, Who is Next??
Hosts: Ansel Lindner and Christian Keroles
Special co-host: Nolan Bauerle, @countbtc
Fed Watch is a macro podcast with a clear contrarian thesis of a deflationary breakdown of the financial system leading to bitcoin adoption. We question narratives and schools of thought, and try to form new understanding. Each episode we use current events to question mainstream and bitcoin narratives across the globe, with an emphasis on central banks and currencies.

In this episode, we are joined once again by Nolan Bauerle to bring you reporting on this crazy week in bitcoin and macro. Of course, we cover Credit Suisse, their long history of corruption and current crisis. Next, we tie this into the US banking crisis that started with FTX, to Silvergate, then Signature, with Silicon Valley Bank also failing along the way. Lastly, we discuss February’s CPI and PPI out of the US to see if that can be added to an analysis of the global financial situation giving us a more clear picture of what is happening.
Throughout the entire episode, I try to build a narrative that what we are seeing in the bank failures, bailouts, and CPI/PPI crashing is a deflationary story. This is a tale of credit tightness and collapse, bailouts notwithstanding. In this context, bailouts only confirm the dire state of the private financial system and lead to deeper tightness and stagnation.
This episode goes perfectly in the entire multi-year theme of Fed Watch. While bitcoin is a hedge against inflation, we don’t find ourselves in an inflationary scenario. What we are living through today is the end of a multi-decade inflationary credit bubble, and what do all bubbles eventually do? They bust. That will look like a monetary shortage, not a monetary abundance.
In these credit bust situations, money without counterparty risk is a great advantage. I’m alluding to bitcoin here, as it is both a hedge against inflation and credit deflation. The great thing for bitcoin, as well, is it has a long way to go in its monetization, meaning its dollar value will expand greatly as it absorbs monetary functions.
As people are looking for a monetary alternative during periods of monetary shortage, it is an absolute advantage if that alternative asset is nascent and its value can expand dramatically as it is adopted. For instance, people that adopt gold in this role only expect perhaps a 5x upside, where bitcoin could see 100x.

In this episode, recorded last week prior to all the Credit Suisse Drama, was very on point. We are joined once again by Nolan Bauerle. Our topics include a lengthy discussion on Bitcoin price and other macro charts like currencies and commodities. We read through several articles on the Silvergate, Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse banking troubles making insightful commentary throughout. Lastly, we watch a couple Jerome Powell clips from his testimony in front of Congress.
We make several very accurate calls on prices throughout the macro complex. Oil and bitcoin in particular standout.
In the Powell testimony, we highlight two important lines of questioning. One is focused on the NON-monetary policy aspects of high CPI, namely sanctions, energy markets, and government spending. Powell dodged the questions as well as he could, saying they were a political football he didn’t want to play with. But it remains that people are starting to realize that nearly all the CPI effect was driven by non-monetary issues.
The second important line of questioning came from the unlikable Senator Elizabeth Warren. She pressed Powell on how many people his targeted effect on employment would put out of work. It got a little bit heated. Even though Warren is an enemy of bitcoin, it was interesting to see Powell unable to answer decidedly.
