Bitcoin Magazine Podcast

Hosts: Ansel Lindner and Christian Keroles Special guest host: Nolan @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. (links below or at bitcoinandmarkets.com/fed128) In this episode, I was once again joined by special co-host Nolan to go through the upcoming US debt ceiling debate, December US Producer Price Index (PPI), bitcoin at Davos 2023, and a new report from the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) discussing how to stop bitcoin. It was a fun and jam-packed episode. The December PPI was a shocker, -0.5% month-over-month for the headline number. Goods PPI was -1.6% and energy was -7.9%. These are large negative numbers and when paired with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for December show a seachange in these so-called inflation metrics. Everything is pointing to a rapid and sudden reversal of these price measures. Davos had a panel where they discussed the “crypto” industry, because they are too scared to say “bitcoin” and give it special attention. We breakdown several aspects of what the panel said. I can sum it up as follows, ‘we need to find a way to regulate bitcoin so our client who want to invest and make gains still can. So, we don’t want to kill it. We also, don’t want to give it legitimacy through regulation, because that will eat away at our control of money. But it’s not all that important anyway, so don’t attract attention to it by treating it as such.’ Something like that. The BIS report was very interesting. They are looking for ways to stop bitcoin, but they had to conclude that it can’t be banned or contained. It can be regulated, but that brings up a myriad of very hard questions that they don’t know how to answer yet. Thanks for joining us. If you are reading this, hit the like and subscribe button!

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, I was joined by special co-host Nolan (@countBTC) to go through December CPI data and its effect on markets including bitcoin. The big development this month in CPI was the negative print. Yes, you heard that right, the general change to price level in December was -0.1%. This was a great opportunity to drive home the massive shift we’ve seen in CPI in the last 6 months, that without a doubt tells us CPI rises have peaked and were transitory all along. Nolan and I broke down some of the components of the CPI like shelter and energy. Overall, the only component that is really holding up the CPI at this point is shelter. If we take shelter out, aka Ex-Shelter, December CPI was -0.8%, and 5 out of the last 6 months were also negative. Next, we take a look at the market reaction. Those charts included bitcoin, S&P 500, and US Treasury yields. The last topic we cover is whether or not these CPI numbers will affect the Federal Reserves upcoming policy decisions. The market is rapidly shifting toward expecting only one more 25 bps hike. We will have to wait and see. Thanks for joining us. If you are reading this, hit the like and subscribe button!

Hosts: Ansel Lindner and Christian Keroles Fed Watch is a macro podcast like no other, with a clear contrarian thesis of a deflationary financial system’s breakdown leading to bitcoin adoption. We question narratives and schools of thought, trying to form our own 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 and I break down the current price chart of bitcoin along with some fascinating points about bitcoin volatility. We have open and honest discussion about the price that you can trust, because this show isn’t about shilling bitcoin, it is about understanding the macro environment which bitcoin finds itself in and how bitcoin is reacting to that environment. Next, we cover the US manufacturing ISM data. For the second straight month in a row, US manufacturing has contracted. This was also the ninth straight month of falling numbers. They happened to stay positive until November, but now we have those two months of negative prints. We also tackle one of the jobs reports this week, the ADP. ADP measures payrolls not employees, which is an important nuance to consider. It increased in December by 223,000 jobs! This is a mixed signal, we have falling manufacturing but rising payrolls. Another conflicting signal we cover this week is the crashing US trade deficit. At first glance, if the trade deficit crashes, one would think that is a positive and means increased activity in the US. However, the reason for the crash is that imports crashed more than exports. Both were negative moves, but the net sum is a crashing deficit, which is a horribly bearish indicator that doesn’t match with the jobs reports. The last thing we discuss on the day is ECB’s latest blog post by Panetta where he trashes “crypto” and lumps bitcoin in with all the garbage. The interesting part of the blog post is when he calls for “a risk-free and dependable digital settlement asset”, which is what bitcoin exactly is. Of course, he finishes that sentence by calling for a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). What a joke. Thanks for joining us. If you are reading this, hit the like and subscribe button!

Fed Watch is a macro podcast like no other, with a clear contrarian thesis of a deflationary financial system’s breakdown leading to bitcoin adoption. We question narratives and schools of thought, trying to form our own 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 and I go on a wide ride through 2022 in a Year in Review episode. We spend the first half of the show talking about bitcoin’s major events of the year and how it affected price. The second half of the show is dedicated to central banks actions this year. We watch an amazing video from Lagarde from July of this year, when she was grilled on how she will bring down the European Central Bank’s (ECB) balance sheet. Her response was, “it will come.” What a great example of central bank incompetence. We cover what the Federal Reserve has done this year, and briefly talk about the other central banks. Lastly, we go through several macro charts, starting with the dollar, then oil and other commodities, the Consumer Price Index (CPI), and finally, we end on US Treasury yields. We examine how these numbers have moved throughout the year, and what they tell us about what may lie ahead.

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 and I dive deep into yield curve control (YCC), after a discussion of bitcoin and other macro charts like the dollar and US Treasury yields. What is YCC, what are its aims, has it been successful, can it ever be successful? Of course, we look at this both from a general perspective but also specifically in the case of Japan, since the big news this week was the Bank of Japan (BOJ) relaxed their YCC band from +/- 0.25% to +/- 0.5%. Our last topic of the day is the 2nd and final revision to US Q3 real GDP. It increased from the original estimate of 2.9% to 3.2% annualized. This is fairly big news, because so many people are utterly convinced the US is about to experience a horrible and deep recession in 2023. The main influences in Q3 and likely in Q4, have been a plunging nominal GDP and plunging price effects. Therefore, it becomes a race of which falls faster, GDP or “inflation” as to whether the real GDP will be negative or positive.
